$130,980 Del Mar Pick 6 Carryover – August 7
Friday (8-6-10) Del Mar Recap
Speed was definitely not king on Friday as there were no wire jobs on Polytrack or turf.
Four-bagger for Rafael Bejarano.
Wickedly Perfect (7th race) sat the right tactical trip and had enough left to hold off A Z Warrior and Izshelegal in the Grade 3 Sorrento Stakes for juvenile fillies. Bejarano guided home the winner for Doug O’Neill.
On the pick six ticket front, I tabbed two Primary (Melbisha, Quintons Flash) and a pair of Secondary (Dancing Lauren, Wickedly Perfect) winners on Friday.
