  • BigAConfidential · Nice work as always, Brian. Agreed on Zazu, game in defeat. Very interesting to see where she goes from here. Love to see her come east for the Beldame. · 294 days ago ·

Saturday’s Pick 6 from Del Mar includes four Polytrack races and two grass events. The feature race is the Grade 1 Clement L Hirsch for fillies and mares traveling a mile and a sixteenth on synthetic footing. Morning line favorite Switch frequently fires Exacta shots and she has been very competitiv...Read More
ZAZU IS SO MUCH FUN, but St. Trinians is the better bet
