NFL WEEK 14 PICKS
Looking at this week, you have teams hurting and teams starting to give up this year. There are two games to me with wrong lines... Jacksonville is GETTING 2 points at HOME from Indy, they have had this game circled in their Jacksonville locker room, because this is the team they MUST beat to win the conference, when I did the Captain's Line, I had Jacksonville favored by 2 points. THE BET: Jacksonville PLUS 2 FLAT BET ---------------------------------------------------------

Del Mar Picks 11/30
Race 2 — #1 Otto’s Magic (ML 2-1) Otto’s Magic turned in a strong debut effort, finishing second while earning an impressive 77 Beyer Speed Figure —a number that stands out in this group. The form from that race has already been flattered, as the third-place finisher returned to win next out. Trained by Phil D’Amato , this 3-year-old gelding draws the rail, which shouldn’t pose an issue given his natural speed. I expect him to be on or near the lead early , and if he takes ev

GETAWAY DAY - NOVEMBER 30th
Closing Day at Del Mar kicks off with a Pick 5 Carryover !!! I like three plays today... ALL SELECTIONS ARE MADE BY REAL PEOPLE... NOT A.I............................................. RACE 4 ----- # 4 LIBEL PROOF (2-1) Won her only race in geared down fashion. Not the strongest field, and 2 year olds improve race by race and figures to be a much tighter animal today. A nice even work by trainer Jeff Bonde after that race has her ready for the step up to winners. P.S. SEE Y

RACE 3 ----- # 3 ROBIN WITH A Y ( 6-1) Comes in off an layoff, has been off since March. I feel she is the speed of the race and gets top gate jockey Maldonado.

Monday Racing Action at Del Mar — Bonus Day of Racing We’ve got an unexpected Monday card at Del Mar—not a holiday, just a makeup day after Friday’s races were canceled due to weather. Always nice to get a little extra racing to kick off Thanksgiving week. Yesterday, both of our picks landed their show bets , though the returns were modest. The best value came from our exacta with #2 Mrs. Astor and #5 Public Assembly , which returned $15.20 for a $1 exacta —solid value in a s

Novemebr 23rd - Del Mar Picks
Sunday at Del Mar — November 23, 2025 We’re rolling into a busy Thanksgiving week with family and friends in town, and Del Mar has added a rare Monday card (Nov. 24) to make up for Friday’s weather cancellation. Today’s Sunday program features a few lighter fields, but there are still several competitive races on tap where I expect a couple of favorites to be tough to beat.

SUNDAY - NOVEMBER 23rd
Got off to a good start for the weekend yesterday, going 2 for 2 on the win end. RACE 6 ----- # 8 INTO THE HALL (2-1) Was clear of the show filly by 6 1/2 lengths in her last race. Comes into the race with a best of the morning work, and figures to be on or near the lead and the one we are worried about is the first time starter from the Mandella barn, # 7 LUBIE'S MUSIC (3-1) with solid works in tow. THE BET: # 8 WIN/PLACE FLAT BET and EXACTA BOX with 8 and 7....

11/22 -Del Mar Horse Racing Picks
Del Mar’s Friday card was washed out after an unusually heavy dose of Southern California rain. With the moisture lingering, today’s surface could play differently than the typical wet track. Last week, when the track came up wet, we saw an uncommon pattern for Del Mar: closers were making big late moves , while early speed didn’t hold as strongly as it normally does on a sealed or moisture-affected surface. That dynamic could repeat—but as always, it’s smart to watch the fir

Del Mar Picks – Friday, November 11th Today we take a look at Del Mar’s Friday card for November 11th. The weather has turned wet, bringing conditions that are a far cry from the usual blue skies at Del Mar. Be sure to monitor scratches and any surface changes throughout the day — with several races likely to draw short fields, these adjustments may be the key to finding value.
