Evenly matched in Race 8 down at ol’ Del Mar (Thoroughbred Club) this afternoon (PST). But in the immediately preceding race there, it’s a prohibitive 32.9pc probability of winning for the BestLine top choice. Take a deep breather — as long as you’re indoors with the windows and doors closed. Thank you.
