Happy Del Mar Thoroughbred Club 2011!

Next time you’re over there, do avail yourself of the gorgeous sights in the infield; you’ll wonder how you were magically transported to a Bikini Conference of Combined Chi Omega & Kappa Kappa Gamma (Southern United States chapters only, please, thank you!). And you can also enjoy the racing! Paradise island!

Free ones:

Rundown
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club (!) 7, 9, 10

Interesting melange for the curtain-raiser. Not necessarily to our strengths, but we’ll see how it turns out.

Pay-side:

Rundown
Delpark 2, 7, 8
Suffolk 3, 5, 8
River 4, 6, 8
Colonial 4, 6, 7
Woodbine 4, 7, 8

Lest we forget everything east of North County, very nice today at Delpark. Spectacular as always at the Colonial.

WMF Report:

Speed
Northlands 6f (WMF 483), 6½f
Presque 6½f
River 6f
Thistle 6f

Rally
Colonial 5½f (T)

Nocturnal Submission: The finale at Fair Meadows (11:35 p.m. EDT / 8:35 p.m. PDT) is a random-number generator; #4 Leah’s Storm is just as unqualified as the rest of ’em! …

Enjoy your Opening Day of Del Mar 2011! Best wishes!
