Thursday's 2nd race (2:30PM PT) from Del Mar is a Starter Allowance event for 3-year-olds and up traveling a flat mile on the turf course (rail at 14 feet).
#4 It's Not Unusual (4-1) did not disappoint as the heavy favorite in a state bred $40,000 Maiden Claiming synthetic route win here Aug 19. He was nabbed out of that heat by profitable trainer Dan Hendricks and he has plenty of upside with only two races under his belt. He is out of fine grass sire Unusual Heat and there is nothing wrong with Rosario hopping aboard.
