Weekend GamePlan for Aug. 22, 2020: Picks for Fourstardave, Del Mar Oaks, Torrey Pines

Debra A. Roma
Without Parole (outside) breezes with Raging Bull at Saratoga on July 31. Neither horse appeared to care for the Keeneland turf course during the Maker's Mark Mile.

Ideally, one would include in a Saturday stakes-selections piece like this a section on the day’s biggest race.

But while I’m as curious as anyone where Maximum Security’s insane career goes next, I’m not interested in playing him or playing against him in the Pacific Classic.

Peck: Monmouth horses to watch for week of Aug. 17, 2020

GIVEITSOMEWELLIE

Trainer: Wayne Potts

Date: Aug. 14, 6th

Finish: 8th by 10 3/4

Beyer: 44

Well off the board here but this was no easy trip, as she prompted the leader through quick early splits with a huge gap back to their rivals. Certainly dangerous next time given a better race flow.
