Here are some results with the turf program from yesterday. The first was the 10th race at Gulfstream—the $60K Mecke Stakes—run at 1 mi. on the turf for three-year olds and up. The program’s second selection in #1 Sailing Solo was the winner at around 8-5, while its first selection in #5 Galleon Mask came in 3rd. Sailing Solo had both the highest LP and COMP estimates of 46.1% and 38.2% along with the second highest Win Percentage at 18.8%.

GP Race 10

Del Mar Race 9

In the G2 $150K San Clemente at Del Mar, run at 1 mi. on the turf for three-year olds fillies, the program’s second selection in #3 Laura’s Light won, who was the odds favorite at 6-5 and winningest horse in the field with a 22.5% WP.  The first selection #1 She’s So Special rallied from 3rd position around the far turn to take 2nd inside the last sixteenth mile just behind Laura’s Light but weakened to 4th before the wire.

In the premiere race yesterday at Del Mar—the G2 $150K San Diego Handicap—run at 1 1/16 mi. on the dirt for three-year olds and up, the program had the winner with its first selection of #5 Maximum Security at 2-5. Maximum Security had not run since Feb 29, when he won the Saudi Cup at 1 1/8 mi. Returning to form, 6 Midcourt gave Maximum Security everything he had, with the two dueling for much of the race, but fell just short in the end to place second. #1 Higher Power came in third. #4 Combatant was held too long by the assistant starter when the gates opened, causing him to jump awkwardly forward, which led to a slow start.
