The journey for trainer Ron Ellis and his gelding Rail Trip has been filled with ups and downs. After two years apart the duo looks to score a well deserved victory in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile.Read More
  • zatt · Hard not to like Rail Trip, especially back with Ellis ... I would not put it past him to run a big race in the Dirt Mile. · 216 days ago ·

  • BrianZipse · Great to see all three back ... Richard's Kid will be hard to beat in his attempt for Pacific Classic #3. · 296 days ago ·

  • Floridaf · If all that are possible for the Pacific Classic are entered, that race will be one of the toughest of the year. Fair odds all the way around. Great to see Richard's Kid, Rail Trip, and Coil back in the winner's circle! · 296 days ago ·

Over two years and eight defeats since last tasting victory, Rail Trip sat the perfect stalking strip under Jose Valdivia Jr. through tepid fractions and held on late to capture the $200,000 San Diego Handicap (Grade II) by 1 1/2-lengths as the 9-to-2 fifth choice in the field of seven. Read More
Jay Em Ess Stable’s seven-year-old Rail Trip, winless for two years and eight starts since capturing The Californian at Hollywood Park in June of 2010, returned to glory Saturday with a hard-fought victory in the featured $200,000 San Diego Handicap.Read More
Friday Del Mar Recap – July 27 Both surfaces seemed to play fair. Rafael Bejarano and Garrett Gomez (turf) both booted home a pair. Peter Miller saddled two winners on the card. On the ticket front I tabbed three Primary (Format V., Richard’s Kid, Askingfortrouble) winners.Read More
It has been nearly three years since Rail Trip made his only Del Mar start. That was the 2009 Pacific Classic when Rail Trip, then considered one of the top handicap horses in the country, was beaten as the 5-2 favorite, finishing third behind Richard’s Kid. Read More
Tres Borrachos returns to defend his title against six rivals in the 71st running of the San Diego Handicap on Saturday (July 28) at Del Mar. Trained by Marty Jones for George Hicker and the Button Stable of James Taylor, Tres Borrachos made a late charge for a 1 ¼-length victory in the 2011 San Die...Read More
Winless for more than two years with a losing streak of 13 races, Tres Borrachos broke through with a vengeance Saturday by scoring an impressive victory in the featured $200,000 San Diego Handicap.Read More
Saturday’s Pick 6 from Del Mar features the Grade 2 San Diego Handicap for 3-year-olds and up traveling a mile and a sixteenth on Polytrack. Morning line favorite Aggie Engineer cuts back to his preferred distance and was last seen finishing a solid 3rd in the G2 Californian. Improving speedster Kev...Read More
The head-to-head matchup, a wager in which bettors need only identify which of two designated horses will finish ahead of the other, will pit Kevlar Kid against Golden Itiz in Saturday’s featured San Diego Handicap. In last week’s Del Mar debut of the bet, Acclamation not only defeated Caracortado b...Read More
Aggie Engineer, third-place finisher in The Californian at Hollywood Park on June 4, rates as a possible favorite in a field of eight for Saturday’s $200,000, Grade II San Diego Handicap at 1 1/16 miles on the main track.Read More
  • SkiptheCountry · Perhaps I am confused, it is late after all, but isn't Aggie Engineer 6 years of age and out of E Dubai? Was the reference to a four year old Rock Hard Ten gelding in reference to a different horse? · 665 days ago ·

Sunday’s pick six from Del Mar includes the Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes (8th race) for 3-year-olds and up traveling six furlongs on Polytrack.

Informed caught pacesetter Mast Track late down the stretch to win Sunday's running of the $250,000 San Diego Handicap at Del Mar. The victory means automatic entry into this year's Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita Park.Read More
  • mshutty · Look to hear more from Informed as the season progresses. Seems to be coming into his own at the right time. Gutsy peformance by Mast Track today in a race that set up perfectly for him. Well Armed was the perfect bet against coming off the layoff in his 6 year old season after a bias aided victory in Dubai last March. · 1390 days ago ·

Winning a $6 million race would make you fat and happy. Trainer Eoin Harty, one of the wittiest guys on the backstretch, is happy. Well Armed, whom Harty trained to win the Dubai World Cup four months ago, is fat. "I can't get the belly off him," Harty said while feeding Well Armed a carrot at his D...Read More
