Del Mar Pick 6 – August 21
Friday (8-20-10) Del Mar Recap
Both surfaces seemed to play fair.
Hat trick for Patrick Valenzuela. Rafael Bejarano and Martin Garcia both booted home a pair.
On the ticket front I tabbed four Primary (Come Home Lady, Winter Camp, Looking for Candy, Pious David) winners. I was a close-up 3rd in both races I missed…close but no cigar on carryover day!

Del Mar Pick 6 – Aug 21
Saturday’s pick six from Del Mar includes the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks for 3-year-old fillies traveling nine furlongs on the turf (rail at 7 feet). Morning line favorite Evening Jewel shoots for her third straight Graded turf win but is hardly a slam dunk and figures to get a stern test from recent Saratoga Graded Stakes winner Perfect Shirl. Sunny skies are expected with a high temperature of 77.
Degree of Difficulty: Moderate. On a scale of 1 to 10, the Saturday pick six from Del Mar rates a 6.
Possible Singles: Indian Winter (6th race), Carrie Rose (10th race)
