Del Mar Pick 6 – Aug 28

Saturday’s $750,000 guaranteed pick six from Del Mar includes a pair of Grade 1 races. First up is the Pacific Classic (8^th race) for 3-year-olds and up traveling ten furlongs on Polytrack. Morning line favorite The Usual Q. T. seems better on dirt but does sport a local synthetic bullet. In the seven furlong Pat O’Brien (10^th race), Crown of Thorns is the one to beat despite making his first start since the ’09 BC Sprint.

Degree of Difficulty: Competitive. On a scale of 1 to 10, the Saturday pick six from Del Mar rates a 7.

Possible Singles: Where’s The Remote (6^th race)
