Picks and analysis for this afternoon’s card from Delaware Park:
- RACES ON CARD: 9
- CARRYOVERS: None
- POST TIME: 12:30 p.m.
RACE 1
| 2. Fowl Mouth | Both sibs to start finished in the top three on debut, including a winner, and sire Blofeld has a good record with juvenile firsters |
| 5. Dancing Denae | Decent efforts in all three outings |
| 7. Mac Daddyness | Didn’t show much in debut but it wasn’t terrible, either |
RACE 2
| 7. Fightertown | Drops off a credible try versus better and well drawn outside others with speed; second-off-the-claim coupled with a drop is a positive trainer angle for Magee |
| 1. Divine Armor | Might get a pace to close into; first in Padilla barn |
| 6. Kick Startness | Loves Delaware and this mile trip (3 wins at both); arrives off a win |
RACE 3
| 7. Alrasikh | Just missed after long duel with winner in first start of the season |
| 4. Arjay | Speedster could control it |
| 12. Super Chunk | Even effort in first on the flat in a year |

RACE 4
| 3. Cloud Music | Speedster failed late in most recent versus similar; gets to run consecutive sprints for the first time in two years |
| 1. Swift Tap | Will need a stalk-and-pounce trip |
| 11. By Its Absence | Likely to be unplayably short because of gaudy Beyers despite lengthy time away, but you’ll likely want him in your multi-race wagers |
RACE 5
| 12. Wonderfull Lady | Should be tough if drawing in |
| 1. Momma’s Lino | Disappointing outing in last but makes third off the bench |
| 8. Whirlwind | Grinding run in latest and a bit of added ground a plus |
RACING NOTES
- Jockey Jaime Rodriguez ran rampant on Saturday, going 5-for-5. His winners ranged from 2-5 to 5-1…
- Jockey Julio Hernandez won two of the three races that Rodriguez did not win…
- Trainers Jamie Ness and Greg Compton each won two races on the Saturday card…
RACE 6
| 2. Viking Queen | Might sit a good trip with a couple of frontrunning types signed on and beat similar four back |
| 4. Vodkatini | The better of the two speed horses but best chances likely to be compromised by the other; finished ahead of top choice in latest with pace-controlling trip |
| 1. Lady Dominance | Back-to-back wins since switched into Carrasco barn |
RACE 7
| 13. Hope Diamond | Showed decent speed in latest versus much better in Churchill maiden |
| 14. Hop to It | One sib ran second on debut; trainer Woolley won with his only firster this year |
| 11. Kobe’s Hope | Stretches out after decent rallying tries |
RACE 8
| 3. Do It for Michael | Showed a new dimension when sitting off the pace and pouncing in latest, which will serve him well with some speed signed on |
| 5. Innova | One of a couple with a ton of early speed and gets blinkers on for second off the bench |
| 6. Square Slice | Should get a pace to close into |
RACE 9
| 4. Nit Witness | Solid worktab for a barn that has a positive ROI with debut maiden claimers |
| 7. Runsweetly | Excellent effort in latest when a near-miss second to 2-5 fave after breaking a beat slow |
| 6. Centsamilla | Has faced better |
