Del Mar Opening Day:
 

Anyone look at race 3 yet?

There are 3 horses coming off long layoffs, 2 of which are favorites:

My mini database (~ 200 races at this point) confirms what I've heard about 90% of winners have raced in the last 90 days.

Anyone considering using the 2 or 4 as win candidates?

I think it's a warm up race for the 4, who is used to running in graded stakes company. More i consider, the more I want to pass.

Ryan, I would consider both 2 and 4 contenders in this race, due to the fact they have run good races in the past with a lay off and the workout tabs look pretty good.

That being said there looks to be a lot of uncertainty in the race with the long layoffs and with the 3 (CJD?? and long layoff) and the others with mostly turf lines.

If I were to bet this race I would lean toward the 2 and the 4, But I would pass this race, but that's me.

Good Skill!!!!
