$157,244 Del Mar Pick 6 Carryover – Aug 14

Friday (8-13-10) Del Mar Recap

Both surfaces seemed to play fair. Early speed is still no good on the weeds.

Hat trick for Rafael Bejarano. Alonso Quinonez booted home a pair.

Bonifacio went last-to-first and helped the pick six carryover cause with his upset in the Daisycutter Handicap for turf sprinters.

I struggled on the ticket front with one Primary (Apt To Be Amazing) and two Secondary (Donner Wasser, Magnificent Blend) winners on Friday the 13th.
