Raymundos Secret Finds Perfect Pace Scenario in the Mabee

 Race 3: WHIRL CANDY (#4, 5-1)

The morning line favorite, Seiche, exits a third place finish on August 15 and now stretches out in his second career start. According to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes, the son of Super Saver “trailed badly, moved closer around the far turn, tried to come through inside the leader, but did not have clear sailing past midstretch allowing the winner first run, one-paced when clear, missed the place.” The even running style suggests he should relish the two turns but his subsequent training after that respectable effort and his trainer’s surprisingly lack of success with second start maiden stretching out for the first time leaves Seiche vulnerable as the favorite. He worked a half mile on August 30 in 49.3 that Handicapper’s Report clocker reported “did not look as good as usual in this five furlong work, wearing blinkers, going off from the 1/2 mile pole, opening 1/4 in 24.4, raising his head crossing the wire while being coaxed along in 49.1, still being coaxed down to the 7/8 pole in 102.0, so-so work, a bit disappointing this week,” for C+ move. Secondly, trainer Bob Baffert is only 8% (3-for-39) the past five years with his trainees making their second start stretching out to a route on the main track for the first time. I am looking elsewhere and in this race a horse that made my horses to watch list on July 26 for his game third-place finish over this same layout. WHIRL CANDY had finished off the board in his first three starts before trainer Richard Baltas decided to geld him, took the blinkers off and try routing on the main track for the first time in his fourth career start and he ran his best race finishing third earning the co highest last race 77 Beyer Speed Figure where he earned this figure under very difficult circumstances. According to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes, “raced to the front, left the rail open into the first turn, settled on the leader’s flank, pressed the tempo to the far turn, took command, dueled into the lane, led to deep stretch, tagged for second.” This was a very fast early pace earning kamikaze Moss Pace Figures for the first half mile (+21,+10) and earning corresponding red coded TimeformUS pace figures. The pace was so fast it saw the leader, Winner’s Club, tire to finish eighth beaten 19-½ lengths as this son of Twirling Candy won the battle for the early lead but lost the war. He has returned with four workouts including best of 28 five furlong move on August 28 that Handicapper’s Report clocker gave a respectable B- stating “asked for a good work, opening ⅜ in 35.2, asked through the stretch, up in 59.4, a decent work, but let run.” The speed of this field and retaining the services of Flavien Prat this dark bay or brown gelding will flash his speed to the first turn and with an easier pace scenario can race gate to wire as one of two recommended singles on your multi-race wagers on Saturday Del Mar card.

Race 8: LIBERAL (#4, 12-1)

The morning line favorite Whopping Jay will make his third start this meet and exits a win versus California-bred Allowance on August 14 but his status as the favorite is really based on his second place finish in the California Dreamin Stakes where he finished second beaten only a half length behind the favored perfect trip and five time winner Galilean. That California bred stakes event was not the most productive. Out of the also ran, Take the One O One, who returned to the main track to win Allowance N2X with a 91 Beyer Speed Figure, six horses returned from that race producing one winner, one second place finish, and four horses finishing off the board including the Galiean who finished fifth in the Del Mar Mile on August 23 duplicating his 90 Beyer Speed Figure. His win on August 14 was against a weak field of California-breds Allowance N1X. The third place finisher Jetovator is a five time loser at that class level and the field was bunched at the wire with the first five finishers seperated by only 2-¼ lengths at the wire. Instead I am going to prefer a horse taking a step up in class but faced a key race field in his last race. LIBERAL has only a N2L win on the turf on May 16 at Santa Anita but that race was an indication that this Irish bred was rounding into form. According to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes, he “settled at the back of the pack, traveled willingly along the inside down the backstretch, rallied under cover into contention in the far turn, split runners into the lane, bid between runners midstretch, rallied to the lead, powered through the wire.” The field was well strung out behind him a sign of a quality victory and the runner up returned to win earning a 76 Beyer Speed Figure. He returned from a 83 day layoff on August 7 and ran into a productive field finishing second behind the runaway winner Scarto. According to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes, he “had only his stablemate beat inside, picked off horses along the rail around the far turn, came out leaving that bend, no threat to the winner, up for the place. He was helped by the raceshape.” The raceshape did aid his rally as the fractions were fast enough to earn a red coded TimeformUS pace figure and the form of this has already been flattered. The winner returned to win Allowance N1X on August 31 with a 87 Beyer Speed Figure, third place finisher returned to run second on the main track in a Starter Allowance earning 81 Beyer Speed Figure, and the fifth place finisher returned to run second earning a 77 Beyer Speed Figure in Allowance N1X on the turf at Golden Gate. The Patrick Gallagher trainee has returned with an easy maintenance half mile work in 49.2 on August 29 and retains the services of jockey Drayden Van Dyke for the third straight time. He will make his first start at this 1-⅛ miles but with his excellent post position (four), he should save ground leaving the chute and around both turns and with any clear sailing at the top of the stretch flash that potent late kick at a hint of a price.

Race 9: TOBACCO ROAD (#7, 6-1)

The bet against in this race goes towards the second choice on the morning line Camby who makes his second start at this N3L class level after finishing third as the 5-2 second choice on August 9 here at Del Mar. Given the trip he encountered with moderate early pace to chase or pressed, this son of Candy Ride no excuse. According to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes, he “raced midfield to the far turn, bore down on the lead four-deep to the quarter-pole, briefly poked his nose in front, raced five-wide into the lane, bid to deep stretch, best of the rest.” The part about that note was that he failed to kick on from mid-stretch to the wire as he hung badly losing second to Self Taught who was a 1-½ length off the lead at the eighth pole and Camby failed to finish the job to win or finish second. The horse who exits the fastest races and is nice price on the morning line goes to the closer TOBACCO ROAD who will need the right trip and pace scenario for him to get over bridesmaid status of six combined seconds or thirds from 22 starts but he finds the right field this afternoon to get him over his tendency to finish second or third. He made his first start at Del Mar on opening day at this N3L class level where he caught the razor sharp front runner Julius in a highly rated event for the class level (86 Beyer Speed Figure). According to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes, he “had one beat cantering on his own 11 lengths down, beginning his long march forward through foes with an inside path in the turn, sustaining his long effort to snatch 2nd late.” The early pace that Julius set as the uncontested leader was moderate according to the Moss Pace Figures (+2,+4) and the validity of that speed figure was confirmed when the winner returned to win a Starter Allowance on August 2 with 86 Beyer Speed Figure and then ran second in Allowance N1X with an 85 Beyer Speed Figure. This runner up effort gave his connections confidence to enter him in a Starter Allowance on August 15 and he ran into another highly rated event (86 Beyer Speed Figure) won the “Ship and Win” favored winner Pyron. In that race, he “lagged at the rear two-deep, passed the back markers outside around the far turn, four-wide for the drive, late gain, won the battle for the show.” He now drops back to N3L and returns with a half-mile maintenance work on August 27. He should get pace for his late run with morning line favorite Street Image going for the early lead stretching out a furlong from his last two starts and will get pressure from Octopus drawn outside of him. If that pace scenario materializes then I expect jockey Ricky Gonzalez to allow Tobacco Road to settle early and will grind away through the stretch to pick up the tiring leaders in the final furlong.

Race 10: RAYMUNDOS SECRET (#8, 2-1)

With four victories on the turf, two off the board finishes, and making his second start off 293 day layoff and for trainer Phil D’Amato I see RAYMUNDOS SECRET only improving in her second race this year as the morning line favorite. The daughter of Treasure Beach two off the board finishes including in last year’s Del Mar Oaks was the result of this filly going too fast too soon. In her last start of 2019, Grade 3 Autumn Miss Stakes, the bay filly got caught in a vicious speed duel with 29-1 longshot Giza Goddness as those two opened up a 2 and 1-½ length lead on the rest of the field through fast fractions of 45.01 and 1:08.44 for the first six furlongs that were fast enough to earn red coded TimeformUS pace figures. She remained in the battle with that rival all the way to mid stretch before finally giving way to finish fifth in a very good effort considering the fast pace set it up for the horses coming from off the pace as the first, third, and fourth place finishers rallied from sixth, seventh, and ninth after the first half mile as Giza Goddness and Raymundos Secret ran the two best races in that that race. She returned from a 293 day layoff in her first start for trainer Phil D’Amato in a Allowance N2X on August 14 and she made her four year old debut a winning one but her neck margin of victory is deceiving as was really only asked to run the last eighth of a mile. According to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes, she “eased her way back to sit in the leader’s draft, looking primed in the turn, waiting for room in upper stretch, bulling her way out midstretch, kicking strongly to get up in the final stride.” The two parts of this victory that was impressive was she completed her final quarter of a mile in co fastest 23.34 seconds and did so against the race shape as the second and third place finishers ran first and second throughout and second part was she galloped out strongly after the wire towards the backstretch as this was a perfect prep for the stretch out to 1-⅛ of the Mabee. She is the leader in TimeformUS early pace ratings and should navigate the lead into the first lead with Flavien Prat remaining in the irons as the Southern California filly and mare turf division has taken turns in defeating each other this year. She comes into the race with impressive five furlong move on the turf course on August 30 that Handicapper’s Report clocker gave her a B stating “five furlongs over the sod with the dogs up, we had the final 1/2 of this work in 48.3, never asked at all, striding out well to the wire, a good work for the recent winner, who will likely surface in the Mabee closing weekend.” In the past five years on the turf course here at Del Mar in Graded Stakes, trainer Phil D’Amato and jockey Flavien Prat have connected at gaudy 38% (13/5-2-0) and they look to continue that successful trend with Raymundos Secret as my second single on the Saturday Del Mar card.

Race 11: TIZAMAGICIAN (#1, 8-1)

The morning line favorite Nolo Contesto has developed a bad case of finishing second. Since defeating the now retired and last year’s morning line favorite for the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby, Omaha Beach, the son of Pioneer of the Nile has finished second in three subsequent fast main track events including his last two starts. In his last start on August 1 I could not find an excuse for his third second place finish behind his stablemate Shortlist. According to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes, he “ran inside 4 lengths down, inching forward midrace, pushing forward 3-wide in the final turn, stalling out on the fading leader in the upper stretch, chasing on after the winner in the lane to earn a clear 2nd.” He ran third chasing the very fast pace speed duel between Rayray and Dreams of Valor who set fast fractions according to the Moss Pace Figures (+15,+5). Instead I prefer a horse that finished behind him in that same race that I expect to make the early lead in this race. TIZAMAGICIAN is a horse that has always promised more than he has delivered in his ten starts. The son of Tiznow has disappointed as the post time favorite in four occasions but I could find excuses for his two debacles on a fast main track where he will be overlooked in the finale. He returned from a 111 day layoff on May 22 at Santa Anita where he was bet down to the 7-5 post time favorite and from a trip standpoint one cannot find a real excuse. According to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes, he “pushed the pace onto the backstretch, applied heavy pressure down the backstretch, could not go with the winner heading into the far turn, stayed on to midstretch, one-paced to the wire.” The excuses I found in this race are firstly the layoff and secondly the fast pace he pressed chasing or pressing the gate to wire winner Take the One O One as it earned above average Moss Pace Figures (+8,+3). I will a draw a line through his race in the Oceanside Stakes because it was the wrong surface and class level and he returned to the main track at this N1X class level and finished fifth beaten four lengths behind the rail skimming rally winner Shortlist but he had a tough trip that is not described in the Bid 4 wide, weakened comment in your past performances. According to Trip Notes Pro, he “Floated out on the 1st turn by #2, Nolo Contesto. Reach normally wouldn’t have been a big deal except it took him into the 6path and (3) rivals advanced up inside of him. Caught 4W (6deep) entire 1st turn and down the BS. Tugged along to advance 4W into the FT and almost made it to the lead. Began flattening out in the lane and had every excuse to stop running but give him extra credit for continuing to try to the wire. SNEAKY good gallop out.” He has come back with three workouts including a sharp three 59.3 five furlong move on August 26 followed by a maintenance three furlong blow out four days ago. He is drawn on the rail and gets Drayden Van Dyke in the irons for the first time and I expect him to be sent for the early lead as he and Mongolian Legend are the only entrants in this field with triple digit TimeformUS early pace ratings in this field. With aggressive tactics from the start, Tizamagician stands an excellent chance to spring the upset in the finale.

Wildman Jack Looks for Theft Tactics in the Bing Crosby

Race 7: EDDIE’S NEW DREAM (#3, 15-1)

In the first leg of the late Pick 5, I am not impressed with the performance of the morning line favorite Taming the Tigress who exits a fourth place finish on opening day beaten less than two lengths in her career debut. After a stumble at the start, she settled “inside in the second flight, tipping out turning for home, failing to kick on from between horses,” according to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes. Visually this race was not impressive with the first six horses separated by only four and a quarter lengths at the wire and the visual aspect was confirmed with the below average 45 Beyer Speed Figure this race earned. I respect horses exiting the July 2 maiden race won by CTBA Stakes favorite I’m So Anna in the next race but I want a new face at a price and landed on EDDIE’S NEW DREAM. She is a full sister to three winners Azure Dream (2-for-17), Ocean Dream (4-for-41), and Jamming Eddy (2-for-17) with the latter the fastest of those three having earned 81 Beyer Speed Figure sprinting on the main track. Trainer Ben Cecil is not known for sending two-year old debuting maidens in dirt sprints ready to win in their career debut as he has won at 9% (22/2-2-1) in the past five years with this move but one of those two winners was Wandering Patrol (April 1, 2018, $7.80-1) who was owned by Reddam Racing and was a daughter of Square Eddie the same profile as this gray or roan filly. She comes into this race with nine workouts for her career debut and even though her last work did not impress the Handicapper’s Report clocker her previous works were good enough to merit consideration in this spot. She worked with older maiden claiming horse Pushing Sixty and visually caught the eye on July 1 outworking that rival in a half mile in 48.1 that Handicapper’s Report clocker gave a B stating “under a hold, finishing just in front in 48.1, able to win by more than the rider wanted, galloping out in front, a good work, especially considering the gray is a two-year-old filly outworking an older male, this is a must follow with Cal-bred juvenile fillies.” In her penultimate work she turned in a five furlong move in 1:01 flat over this Del Mar main track  that Handicapper’s Report clocker gave a B- commenting “lightly asked, best of the duo in 101.0, a decent work for the unraced two-year-old Square Eddie homebred filly, who again outworked an older horse and can run some.” This homebred filly is a new face where the morning line favorite exits a visually unimpressive and subpar maiden race and EDDIE’S NEW DREAM has the pedigree, a trainer that can fire with debuting maidens at a price, and has worked well enough that she can spring a major surprise at 15-1 on the morning line.

Race 9: DEL MAR DRAMA (#8, 6-1)

The morning line favorite coming off a runner-up performance at this exact same class level is Tagline as her last start was her third consecutive in the money finish in as many starts around two turns on the turf. That second place finish on June 7 was not as good as it looks on paper when you consider she finished in a three-horse photo for second and the horse that returned to win, Awesome Drive, won for $20,000 claiming price with regressing 57 Beyer Speed Figure on the main track. I am going to prefer a filly bred for routing on the turf and dropping in for a claiming price for the first time. DEL MAR DRAMA has made two starts on turf both versus maiden special weight company in turf sprints and ran against the race shape when she finished fifth in an eleven horse field on May 16 at Santa Anita. The daughter of Shackleford was returning off a 132-day layoff and was totally dismissed as the longest shot on the board at 78-1 where according to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes he “dropped out to last early, in a bit tight heading into the far turn, dove to the rail, improved several positions into the lane, angled out to the center of the course, finished with interest,” behind the gate to wire winner Affianced who set a moderate early pace. The Eric Kruljac trainee switched to the main track and stretched out to two turns for the first time on July 3 where she dueled head and head for the early lead with the post time favorite and winner Harvest Moon as those two locked in their own match race to the top of the stretch when the latter pulled clear and Del Mar Drama weaken to finish fourth. Although the race only earned an average 75 Beyer Speed Figure the race was stronger than the speed figure would indicate when the winner returned to defeat winners with 87 Beyer Speed Figure (twelve point improvement). She drops for a maiden claiming price for the first time and runs a route of ground on the turf and she is bred to route on the grass. She is a half brother to Bourbon in May who won four of fourteen starts on the turf with three of those wins a route of ground with career best 88 Beyer Speed Figure. Her second dam is Soaring Softy who won six of seven starts on the turf including the Grade 1 Flower Bowl and Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf. Trainer Eric Kruljac has won at 29% (7/2-0-2) with his starters going from dirt-to-dirt and dropping from a maiden special weight to maiden claiming company. Jockey Drayden Van Dyke takes over in the irons who was aboard Ostini (July 12, $28.40) for this barn on the first weekend of the meet and if Del Mar Drama finds this company easier and runs to her turf oriented pedigree she can spring the minor upset.

Race 10: WILDMAN JACK (#8, 6-1)

With the scratch of morning line favorite, McKenzie, in this event the role of favoritism will go towards Fashionably Fast who earned the co-highest last race 95 Beyer Speed Figure when he ran second behind McKenzie in the Grade 2 Triple Bend Handicap on June 7 in a race that saw the third-and-fifth place finishers both returned to win earning Beyer Speed Figures of 97 and 95 respectively and McKenzie split the field in the Grade 1 Metropolitan Mile with improved 100 Beyer Speed Figure. The issue with that Triple Bend was the slow early pace as it earned below average Moss Pace Figures (-18,-9) along with blue coded TimeformUS pace figures. He will not find that type of pace scenario in this field as our top choice has a world of early speed. WILDMAN JACK will make his first start on the main track in his tenth career start but is bred for the surface switch behind by two time Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Goldencents out of Orientate mare Orientations who won three of six starts sprinting with two of them on synthetic surface and was second in her career debut on the main track. The Doug O’Neill scored the biggest victory of his career in the Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint at Meydan where he broke running to be part of the early speed racing towards the inner rail through the first 440 yards, shook clear of his other speed rivals with two furlongs out, and accelerated nicely past mid-stretch while switching to his left lead towards the wire while well clear in front as Timeform foreign comments suggest that this victory was “maximum effort.” He returned from a seventy-seven day layoff in the Grade 3 Daytona on May 23 and rallied from off the pace to catch the 70-1 best of speed winner Sparky Ville to win by a nose in a race that proved to be non-productive as the horses behind Wildman Jack returned with one third-place finish four off the board finishes. He shipped to Keeneland for the Grade 2 Shakertown Stakes on July 11 and never picked up his feet trailing the field throughout in thirteenth and was wrapped up to the wire in a throw out performance. He is reeled back off three weeks rest with a best of 104 half mile move from the gate on July 26 that Handicapper’s Report clocker raved with a B+ working in a three team drill and easily outworked his rivals while “lightly niggled when up in 46.1, an excellent work.” Jockey Umberto Respoli takes over in the irons for the first time and from his comfortable outside draw, I expect Wildman Jack to flash his typical early speed to go for the early lead and if he runs to his visually impressive work from last Sunday and to his dirt oriented pedigree he will prove to be a tough rival to run down in his first Grade 1 start.

Race 11: BELLA CHICA (#5, 7-2)

The morning line favorite On Mars is developing the bad case of being a bridesmaid in her career. The daughter of Vronsky has hit the board in all three starts on turf including her last two at today’s one mile distance but she has failed to show a winning punch in the stretch to suggest she can improve in her sixth career start. According to the Handicapper’s Report Trip Notes, “she ran at the leader, rebuffed, second best,” when second behind pace pressing winner Good Things Come in Pink on May 22 and in her last start on June 19 the HR Trip Notes stated “had her chance the final furlong, not good enough, hung badly for second.” On Mars finds this distance too far and she had plenty of chances. Instead I will go with another trial maiden but she makes her first start at a route of ground and adds blinkers for the first time. BELLA CHICA is a trial maiden with three second-place finishes and one third-place finish from five starts. Her previous runner-up effort was on May 29 at Santa Anita where she lost a tough photo with the winner Fireproof who benefited from a fast pace to rally from next to last to win by a nose over this daughter of City Zip. This consistent bay filly has finished worse than third only once in five starts and that happened last time out where she was compromised by a very wide trip. Breaking from post position twelve in a twelve horse field, the HR Trip Notes commented she was “parked wide midpack, remaining wide in the turn, trying early in the lane, throwing in the towel by the final 1/16th.” She now stretches out to two turns and tries blinkers for the first time and based on her pedigree and her subsequent workouts those two factors should be enough to land her in the winner’s circle in the finale. She is a daughter of excellent turf sire City Zip out of the dam Bella Viaggia who won four of eight starts all sprinting with two of them on the turf. She tried a route of ground just twice and ran second behind subsequent Grade 1 Test winner Sweet Lulu on the Cushion Track at Hollywood Park and was second beaten only a half-length in the one-mile Solana Beach Stakes at one-mile on the turf at Del Mar. She adds the blinkers for the first time and the Handicapper’s Report clocker has noticed improvements with the new equipment in her morning workouts. She worked with blinkers in a half mile spin on July 10 where the HR clocker got her working faster than the 49.1 time stating “striding out well in 48.0, the best work we have seen from her, it appears the blinkers have helped this trial maiden filly,” and concluded her worktab with maintenance five furlong move on July 26 in 1:01.2 where the HR clocker commented “wore blinkers (new) for her five furlong work, not asked in 101.2, not a bad work at all, it appears the trial Cal-bred maiden filly is improved with the shades.” Jockey Drayden Van Dyke who rode her to her first two second-place finishes is back in the irons and if she improves with the blinkers that the HR clocker suggested and runs to her dam’s performance at a route of ground then BELLA CHICA can spring the small upset to end the Saturday Del Mar card.
