In sprints for 2-year-olds at 6 furlongs or less, I always prefer the first-time starters to a well-bet favorite that has run before. In this race, #9 Catalina Fog was bet to 6/5 and almost hung on for the win, but 6/1 shot #8 It's Gotta Be Us rolled by him in late stretch. I had $200 on the winner, $200 on #4 Cach D Fish and $150 on #11 Chief Poniso.
Another note about this race, #4 Cach D Fish swerved at the beginning, rushed up on the backstretch and was blocked all the way to the wire. He was probably the best horse in the race, but had nowhere to go. Check it out on the replay (he's breaking from the 3 hole) and be sure to view the head on.

Horses coming off layoffs in maiden turf routes are a profitable bet at times and I was waiting for #2 Cheryl's Surprise to come into the 5/2 to 7/1 range. But she went off at 10/1 then led the whole way.
I sat out and had no action.

Brite Ruler had a huge pace advantage over these horses. Jockey Rosario eased him to the lead and won comfortably while in front throughout.
I wrote that I would bet $300 on either #2 Brite Ruler or #7 Sunshine In whoever was the higher price, as long at they were at least 2/1. Sunshine In was pounded to 6/5, so it became an easy decision as Brite Ruler was double the price at nearly 5/2.

This 10-horse field includes six first-time starters and, although I wouldn't be too surprised to see #9 Catalina Fog win, I will try to beat the 2/1 favorite with the new blood.
Not many of these first starters have good workouts, but #4 Catch D Fish is the exception and therefore I will bet him at 7/2 to 19/1. Another that looks promising is #8 It's Gotta Be Us, who is an early foal. Also, trainer Doug O'Neill is 7/35, or 20 percent, when his 2-year-olds are starting first time in a maiden claiming race. Every $1 bet has returned $1.51 on this O'Neill angle.
On the site, I will bet $200 on #8 It's Gotta Be Us at 5/1 to 19/1, and $200 on #4 Catch D Fish at 7/2 to 19/1. Also, if the following horses are 10/1 to 19/1 then I will bet $150 on them: #2 Tahoe Kid, #3 She Made Me Do It, #6 Simply, #11 Chief Poniso.

This looks like a two horse race with #2 Brite Ruler having all the speed and #7 Sunshine In possessing the best Beyer Speed Figures and closing kick. Brite Ruler is coming out of the same extremely fast June 21 race as A Lil Dumaani, who won a 40K maiden race on Monday.
Brite Ruler also stalked the fast pace on June 21 and weakened to finish just 2 1/2 lengths behind A Lil Dumaani.
The challenge here will be to get 2/1 on either #2 Brite Ruler or #7 Sunshine In. If either of them do go off at 2/1 or better, then I will bet $300 on that horse. And if somehow both are 2/1 or more then I will bet that amount on the longer of the two.

Halo's Clean Sheet, #1, looked like the better bet when compared with #2 Flashing Forward, but she swerved left at the break and was quickly 10 lengths behind the others.

#1 Halo's Clean Sheet--3/1
#2 Flashing Forward--5/2
#3 Saint's Crown--5/1
#6 Stuttgart--5/1
Breaking from the rail, #1 Halo's Clean Sheet fits the profile of the type of horses that win 6 1/2 and 7 furlong races, and #2 Flashing Forward would also fit the profile if she didn't go three-to-four paths wide on the turn June 22.
The Jack Carava-trained #3 Saints Crown is running back for the second time off a 17-month layoff and she has positive betting angles at 2/1 to 4/1. Second-time starter #6 Stuttgart was checked at the break last time, in what might have been a practice race, but she moved well when asked to run. Gaines wins at a high percentage when her horses are making their second lifetime start and this one is adding blinkers.
I will bet $300 on whoever is longer between #1 Halo's Clean Sheet and #2 Flashing Forward. If #3 Saint's Crown is between 2/1 and 4/1, then I will bet $250 on her, but if not, I will bet $200 on #6 Stuttgart.

In his June 21 race, #3 A Lil Dumaani posted an extremely fast second quarter mile while chasing a loose on the lead winner. He looks like he'll be close to the lead today and stands a good chance for the win.
The Barry Abrams-trained #8 Hy Temp was blocked in the stretched while trying to rally on the turf back in October 2007. He's been off since then, but this is the type of horse the public doesn't like to bet and they win more than their fair share.
In fact, horses like Hy Temp are 21/68 for 31 percent with $1 returning $1.75, while the trainer is 2/4 with maiden layoff types. Also, a horse that fit the angle won the last race on Sunday, paying $11.60.

Race 5 Del Mar -- MSW -- 5.5Fs
Contenders-morning line
#1 Chilliwack--9/2
#2 Alex B. Good--10/1
#3 Tammy's Luck--10/1

#6 One Perfect Karat--6/1
#7 Victory Dancer--5/2
#8 Keep Active--6/1
#11 Boehle--20/1
#12 Costa Marta--12/1
In this race, second-time starter #2 Alex B. Good showed excellent speed on June 29 and is bettable. The best wager of the five first-time starters in the race is #12 Costa Marta who is an early foal being trained by Marty Jones.
I'll bet $250 on #2 Alex B. Good at 3/1 or more and $300 on #12 Costa Marta only if 10/1 to 19/1. Also, I'll bet $100 on any of these horses only if they fall into the 10/1 to 19/1 range: #4 Jet Set Lass, #6 One Perfect Karat, #8 Keep Active and #11 Boehle.

#4 Sherry's Reddy--5/1
#5 Dashwood--5/1
#6 Celestial Topper--5/1
#7 Mickey Rocks--10/1
Five first-time starters are going in here and none of them look like particularly strong bets, but one may win at a good price nevertheless.
Martin Wygod owns #5 Dashwood and he's trained by probably the cagiest trainer on the grounds in Clifford Sise, who can work them out slow and run them fast. Wygod likes to win second time, but if this first-timer is 5/1 or more he's probably worth a small wager.
The quickest of the horses who have run looks like #4 Sherry's Reddy, who I'll bet at 3/1 or more.
I'll bet $150 to win on the following horses only if they fall into the 10/1 to 19/1 range: #1 Uintah, #3 Rochelle's Jimmy, #6 Celestial Topper, and #7 Mickey Rocks. Also, I'll put $200 on #5 Dashwood at 5/1 or more and $200 on #4 Sherry's Reddy at 3/1 or greater.

Results Race 9 Del Mar -- won $4,700
This was a case of two horses who had very similar pace ratings. But #2 Elusive Destiny was 6/5 because he had 73 and 75 Beyer numbers earned in 6.5 furlong races, while #3 Special Grey Ghost form was a bit hidden as he ran Beyers of 65 and 68 in 6F and 5.5F races while presssing the pace in his most recent and coming from the back in his third race back.
The plan was to bet $1,000 on whoever was longer and #3 Special Grey Ghost got the nod.

Results Race 4 Del Mar -- lost $600
Surprisingly, I ended up betting only two horses in this race because three of the first timers that I liked drifted above the 20/1 betting zone. In the end, I put $350 on #9 Kinesiology and $250 on #7 Lippy Rules, who was in contention until the top of the stretch.
