Title: Del Mar Derby
Post by: Mstrlucky74 on September 01, 2019, 05:41:56 PM
Thinking a 5 could get the win/place money. I\'m torn about Hackberry. I like the fact that he ran a 7 three months ago. If healthy he should be a few points better but that\'s the problem. Pattern seems to indicate this horse is not 100% and those things are........

1. Didn\'t start racing until 3yo.
2. After 1st race laid up for 2 months.
3. Bore in when he ran the 7 and then laid up another 2 months.
4. Came back last out and ran an off race.

I guess the negatives outweigh the POSTIVE( the 7..a few months back..lol).


He is 20-1 morning line. Any thoughts?

I bet him win and place. He did look like he had some trouble coming to the wire. Ran pretty decent
