Friday DEL MAR Recap: August 19

Fast main track and firm turf course. Two wire-to-wire winners at 5.5f on dirt. The winning turf course running styles were a stalker at 8.5f, a patient midpack runner at one mile, and a stalker at eleven furlongs (rail at 30 feet).

Rafael Bejarano and Iggy Puglisi both booted home a pair.

Friday’s suggested Late Pick 4 Tickets produced one Primary winner (Frenzified) and three Secondary winners (Woody’s Folly, Gemini Journey, Mr. Cartagena). Two of my Primary contenders (Nat’s Nation, Alltheleavesrbrown) lost by a neck and a nose so it was one of those close but no cigar situations.
