Note: At first glance, it looks like trainers John Sadler (3-30), Peter Miller (7-46) and Doug O’Neill (7-47) could have big days so that means lots of low-priced winners.

Jockey Armando Ayuso is 0-for-43 and seems overmatched. How can you bet the guy? Of course, I just kissed him into the winner’s circle today and he’s riding a couple for “The Pappa” but still …

FIRST RACE: 6-2-3-4

Good luck. Stay safe.

Note: Not sure I will have picks for Sunday. Dealing with health issue in my family and I’m wiped out. If I do anything, I might do the Pick 6. We’ll see how I feel in the morning. Until then just remember who told you about Hector Berrios first.

Good luck. Stay safe.

BY THE NUMBERS

THRU SATURDAY’S RACES

Posts 1-3 are 0-17 in 6 furlong or shorter races on the main track and 1-24 7 furlongs or less and 1-34 in all dirt races.

On the turf, inside was place to be last year in 5 furlong sprints, not so this year. Inside three posts are 1-7 or 1-21 if you prefer.

Inside on turf not good in general like main track. The inside three posts are 3-25 in all grass races.

So when horses run back, look for those going inside to outside. Might be a few bombs.

NOTE: People, I’m likely not ever going to put up my opinions until after I get the scratches so that is after 10 a.m. at Del Mar so please don’t send notes asking where they are. I have a life. I have a real job that usually works until at least 10:30 p.m. Thanks.
