A few questions that will be asked when the 2022 summer meet at Del Mar begins Friday include: Will Flightline stay 1 1/4 miles in the Pacific Classic? Will Juan Hernandez remain the circuit’s top rider, or will Florent Geroux make a run riding his first full meet in California? How many turf races will trainer Phil D’Amato win, and how many 2-year-old races will Bob Baffert win? Crystal ball, anyone? Del Mar is the focus of this week’s notebook. Time to dive in.
