Del Mar Pick 6 – August 29
Saturday (8-28-10) Del Mar Recap
Five wire jobs on the afternoon including two on the weeds.
Five wins on the day for Joel Rosario. Hat trick for trainer Bob Baffert included both Grade 1 races.
Enriched (4th race) went all the way to win the Grade 2 Del Mar Mile on the turf under Joel Rosario.
Richard’s Kid (8th race) rallied from off the pace to defend his title in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic. Mike Smith booted home the Baffert trainee.
El Brujo (10th race) was aggressively handled by Joel Rosario and had enough in the tank to hold off Crown of Thorns in the seven furlong Grade 1 Pat O’Brien.
On the ticket front I tabbed three Primary (Where’s The Remote, Richard’s Kid, El Brujo) and one Secondary (Pleasing Sunrise) winner. I had a pair of Primary contenders land the place in the two races I missed.

Del Mar Pick 6 – Aug 29
Sunday’s pick six from Del Mar includes the Grade 2 Del Mar Handicap for 3-year-olds and up traveling eleven furlongs on the turf course. Morning line favorite Champ Pegasus was beaten a length in a weak renewal of the Grade 3 Sunset but this race did not come up strong and the lightly raced Mandella runner attracts Rosario and should sit a great tactical trip.
Degree of Difficulty: Moderate. On a scale of 1 to 10, the Sunday pick six from Del Mar rates a 5.5.
Possible Singles: Daylight Storm (7th race), Champ Pegasus (8th race)
