1/ST BET Horse Racing Predictions from Del Mar

We are pleased to collaborate with 1/ST BET. Expert handicappers Jeremy Plonk and Jeff Siegel will provide weekly horse racing insights for events at various tracks, including Del Mar.

Race 6: Post Time 3:00 PT – Grade: B+

Top Selection: Ace of Clubs
Back-ups: 4-Journey D’ Oro; 6-Wild Recruit

Forecast: Ace of Clubs is expected to perform significantly better in his first race after an 11-month break. He drops to the $25,000 claiming level for 3-year-olds. The horse has previously raced in four stakes events. He will race as a first-time Lasix user and first-time gelding, showing promising workouts. Trained by Doug O’Neill and ridden by Antonio Fresu, he should settle in the second tier and be ready to strike.

Race 9: Post Time 4:00 PT – Grade: B+

Top Selection: 3-Strutting (GB)
Back-up: 9-Word Play

Forecast: Strutting makes her debut in the U.S. in a turf race for fillies and mares. Her European record suggests she stands out in this field. She recently placed second in the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot, achieving a top Timeform rating. Her local training has been strong, making her a solid bet at 5/2 on the morning line.
