Preview: Sorry guys, I haven’t been feeling well physically and haven’t had the time to handicap. With the rain this weekend, I’m sort of glad I didn’t.
More rain is forecast next week so we will see. Hope to get back in the saddle by next weekend. Good luck.
Preview: Sorry still don’t have a working printer and haven’t been feeling great lately.
However I do like a couple of horses on Thursday.
FIRST RACE: #7 Wind Tartare and FOURTH RACE: #3 Miss Boom Boom
Both horses come out of a Del Mar race that has produced 5 next out winners from 7 starters. These are 2 of the last 4 horses to run back. Probably like Miss Boom Boom more but like both.
EIGHTH RACE: #5 Show It N Moe It
Coming out of the Betty Grable at Del Mar. Three of the first 4 horses to come out of that race have come back to win. This is a much easier spot for this horse. Won’t get much of a price but maybe a single.
Good Luck.
Preview: Sorry no picks since I have no access to a printer at work. Check me out on Twitter @Jeff_Nahill to see if I have any opinions. No promises since I do have to work.
Guess dumb me forgot to post this last Saturday. Work has been crazy lately.

Watch the betting on No. 7 Paladar. He’s 10-1 on the morning-line and had some great works after his last race, but there are no listed works since Dec. 8. Kind of strange. He’s dropping into a maiden claimer for the first time and he’s owned by Keith Brackpool, who use to run Santa Anita. Is he trying to get one over?
