It was an extra-long day with Saratoga kicking off at 12:37 (ET) and Del Mar finishing at 10:02 (ET), but it was worth it! SOLDIER N DIPLOMAT ($3.90) started us off by living up to his nearly $1 million purchase price in the second race. SIDE EYE ($9.50) took the fifth and NORTH END LADY ($11.60) captured the sixth making the report three-for-three to begin the day. SOVEREIGNTY ($3.00) ran his usual great race in the Jim Dandy (G2) with Baeza second for a $6.00 exacta. HEDGE THE RISK ($7.10) took the nightcap to end the card on a super high note!
CAPTAIN SPARROW ($7.40) started us off at Del Mar with Self Sufficient second for a $20.40 exacta and Jaguar Son third for a $14.90 50-cent trifecta. $3 million baby BRANT ($3.60) reported home on top in the fourth and NYSOS ($2.20) came as no surprise in the San Diego Handicap (G2). PUSHINESS ($6.60) won the Daisycutter Handicap with Uncorked second for a $29.20 exacta on a rather chalky afternoon.
