Free: Del Mar horses to watch for week of June 22, 2019
After a one-day hiatus due to extreme temperatures, racing resumes at Saratoga this afternoon with an excellent card featuring three stakes races. The nominal feature, the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks, isn't a very bettable affair as the undefeated Guarana heads a short field.

With a hundo burning a hole in my pocket, I’ll start off the eight-race Sunday card at Del Mar with a cold early daily double of SEAHAWK WAVE (6) in race 1 and MR VARGAS (7) in race 2. Both stand to improve substantially after needing their June comebacks off layoffs, and both figure to get great stalking trips from their open-air outer boxes. I’ll also bet both to win but won’t extend to a pick three or pick five after finding races 3 and 4 to be exceedingly difficult.

So, can the horse who crossed the line first in the Kentucky Derby, only to be disqualified, and then who got beat here at Monmouth in the Pegasus last month get back on track? Your answer to that question likely colors how you set up your pick-four ticket (races 9-12) at the Jersey shore Saturday.
