Race 7 Sunday at Del Mar One Mile on the fast 'n firm turf course.

When all else fails, leave it to the jockey agents, I have a few questions for any of them checking in here.....

1.  Kent Desormeaux could've should've rode for his brother on the #9 horse who he just missed by a head with in the G1 DelMar Oaks but opts instead to ride the rail horse for Richie Baltas who he has a good record with, and he's 12-1.

2.  Mike Smith probably could have the 12-1 #8 horse for Sadler but opts instead for sticking with the 20-1 shot for Cassidy who its been awhile since he won with.

3.  Chad Brown who has an embarrassment of riches has the  7/2 Roco Roja who just had big wins with Castellano and JRVelasquez aboard, so who gets the mount today....Florent Geroux of course.

Color me confused.

Okay thanks, the Desormeaux matter got cleared up as Keith scratched Decked Out leaving Victor to play in the card room and Kent on a live mount, hmmmm!
