Thank you.
Packs a Wahlop he hit the board in the majority of his routes on grass, won or placed eight times in 22 tries, extremely well-rested, grizzled veteran Rosario enhances chances
Mr. Leasure hit the board in the majority of is routes, winning 25% of them, rested, not heavily raced, gets new rider
Mythical Reel (IRE- County Clare) born and bred on the lush green of The Curragh, he is preternaturally suited for the turf race, he hit the board in most of his recent routes, and turns back 990 feet, Fresu produced his recent successes
RACE 8
The San Diego Handicap
Grade II, one and one-sixteenth miles, main track ($300000)
Three entries won a dirt route at graded stakes level: Journalism, Full Serrano and The Goat.
Four raced at RD and only Mirahmadi and Journalism (2/2) won at RD.
Journalism F (prohibitive, deservedly) the runner up in last year’s disgustingly sloppy Derby should walk; he just turned out six consecutive Beyer speed figures of “100” or better, and that figure in nine of his last ten routes, including that awful Derby, I have never seen six consecutive Beyers above “100,” the elite Rispoli rides, McCarthy kills graded stakes, the colt won both trips at RD
Full Serrano he hit the board in seven of his last eight routes, winning three times, at one mile, he did hit the board in all three routes longer than one mile, he is the top 2026 earner
since 2025 he has won once
Mirahmadi he is short of rest, but lightly raced overall, he won three of his last seven routes, finally hit the board, at RD, last time out in his third graded stakes, the elite Hernandez produced his last three wins
RACE 9
Very closely graded
The San Clemente Handicap
Grade II, one mile, turf course ($200000)
Nine raced at RD and seven won. Three entries never won any turf route: Light Won Up, Marjoram and Somerset West.
This is a match race among four entries and Inbox placed at RD last time out and defeated the others.
Two entries have won a turf route at stakes level: Spirit Doll and Ground Support (won graded stakes).
Lookin at Diamond she took a circuitous route last time out under Victor, Rispoli on turf changes matters, she hit the board in both routes, winning comfortably at RD last May, she is rested and lightly raced, bested by Inbox last time out
Inbox she hit the board in all three routes, winning at 9f once, and she nearly won at RD last time out, courtesy Rosario, she too is rested, lightly raced
Raiding Party (IRE- County Londonderry) she hit the board in all three routes, and won two of them, the rail is not her friend
RACE 10
Eight raced at RD and five won. Two entries never won a dirt route: Faran and Central Dispatch.
Clouseau he own a heady four of his last eight routes, and rarely misses the board, Berrios produced his most recent win, the six year old still hits top Beyer speed figures, is rested, by the way for those who don’t necessarily believe rest is very significant, note that he hit his stellar “101” Beyer, a one off, after bout five months left
Magnify he hit the board in six of seven trips at RD, winning once and placing four times, Kimura produced five of his successes, he is rested and lightly raced
Varney he hit the board in all three routes, winning once on a less than ideal, courtesy Prat, the Baffert entry carries the veteran Rosario and has rested for a long time, maybe some rust
