Saturday, August 20, 2022.  Del Mar has a strong late afternoon / evening card today with 10 races, featuring the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks with 14 3yo fillies going 9f on turf.  There are also 3 MSW’s at 80k for the top west coast 2yos.

.

Racing will begin at 5PM ET which accommodates east coast fans and players that have done their work for the day.  Let’s take a look at the G1 Oaks and the MSW’s, first get today’s free Grid to follow along.

.

For Kentucky Derby trackers, the real excitement begins at 7ET with the first of the two MSW’s.  Only 1 in the 8 horse field has raced before, but Baffert has 2 trainees which are surprisingly also the top 2 ML choices.  Doug O could have a say as well in the outcome.

.

Two races later at 8PM, the 2^nd MSW has a field of 10 in which only 2 have not raced.  Heavily favored Yakteen trainee Kangaroo Court has by far the best PF.  The two unraced colts may be the only ones that can beat him unless he falters.

.

The Del Mar Oaks G1 field is a tremendous group of 3yo fillies doing for 9f on turf.  The top 4 ML choices with single digit odds could dominate, but some of the best late runners are at 20-1 and 30-1 ML.  Graceland Gray at 15-1 and Lady T at 20-1 could surprise.
