Thursday Del Mar Recap – July 26
Patient runners performed better than expected on both surfaces.
Four-bagger for Rafael Bejarano. Trainer Bob Baffert saddled two winners including sharp comebacker Coil and Bejarano rode both.
On the ticket front I tabbed two Primary (Coil, Midnight Con) winners and two Secondary (Maker Or Breaker, Long Face) winners.
