Union Station to Solana Beach

Yea, verily, it’s that blessed time of year: Opening Day of the traditional Del Mar summer meet, now through Labor Day. All aboard!

No traumatic rides — so far. Absence of Conrail lines helps.

Free ones: Rundown…

Belmont 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9
Gulfstream Park Proper 3, 4, 8, 9
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10

Pay-side (Weekend/Weekday): Today…

Arlington 6, 8
Louisiana 5
Lone Star 4, 7, 9

Today’s Stakes Pageantry: Del Mar 8 on the free page.

Barnburner in prospect for your Indiana 6, with #7 Facey’s Spirit and #10 Jimnpauls Last Toy among the living issues. Two races later there, it’s the opposite dynamic, with the top two morning-line choices forecast for a private match race. Oh, well. What are you gonna do?

Yesterday’s Activity: Fine time at Belmont Park yesterday — fine time. As always, hope you had ’em!
