Lundin Line Best Bets
R1: [5] Dehydration
Except for a stumble at Del Mar on July 12th, Dehydration has been on a very impressive winning streak. She is coming off a Win at Del Mar on Aug. 8th where she earned her highest Speed figure of 89. She also had back-to-back Wins: April 9th at Oaklawn Park and June 4th at Churchill Downs. Trainer Robert Hess with Jockey Flavian Pratt is Winning at 29% and ITM at 71%.
R4: [12] Dolci
The move Down in Class for this race should bode well for Dolci who has not been racing well - despite scoring her highest Speed figure of 89 at her last race on August 8th at Del Mar. She enters today’s race leading this field in middle and finish Pace Ratings and 2nd in average Speed. She also has Ricardo Gonzalez behind the reigns who, over the last 10 days, has Won 19% of races with an extremely impressive +67% ROI.
R5: [7] Gallovie
Gallovie comes into today’s race off a Show finish at Del Mar on July 27th where she
earned a very impressive Speed figure of 107, the highest of her career. She moves up
in class for Trainer Richard Baltas who with Jockey Juan Hernandez is in ITM at 60%.
R9 Del Mar Mile: [4] Mo Forza
The #LundinLine likes Mo Forza to win this year’s Del Mar Mile. Despite a rough trip last
time out, he is coming off 4 consecutive Wins going back to Nov. 2nd. He leads this field of 11 in finish Pace Rating and is 2nd in early and middle Pace. His average Speed of 105 is 4th. Mo Forza will be on Lasix for this Race and without blinkers. When taking the blinkers off his horses, Trainer Peter Miller is Winning at 25% and ITM at 50%. And that sounds pretty damned good to us!
