00:00Let's go out West. What do you got for Del Mar this weekend?
00:05Yeah, it's their big day. I'm actually going to be driving down there later tonight. I'll
00:08be at Del Mar tomorrow. So if you want to follow along with some of the Daily Racing
00:11Forum social media, we'll have some videos of horses before the races. You can get a
00:15look at them. I have the play in race number five. I like the one Balnikov. What's real
00:20key about this one, Mike, Balnikov doesn't like Santa Anita's turf course. And what's
00:26unlucky for him is they run at Santa Anita about seven or eight months of the year. And
00:30so whenever they're running there, he does not run really well when they go other places.
00:35Balnikov has performed well. So he's 0 for 8 at Santa Anita with only two top three finishes.
00:40His other 11 races, four wins, two seconds and a couple thirds. So he's better there
00:46in the big race. We're going to go with the long shot. The number two, there goes Harvard,
00:50a Philly. Actually, she's a mayor now was supposed to run in there. She was going to
00:53be favored, but she scratched. There goes Harvard is the number two. He's proven going
00:58long on the dirt. So there's a couple for you out at Del Mar on their big day.
