DEL MAR OPENING DAY BING CROSBY 11/6/26
Del Mar Picks Today – Friday, November 6, 2026: The Captain's Best Bets for Races 4 & 6
Del Mar horse racing is back, and so is The Captain! The 2026 Del Mar Fall Racing Season is underway, and The Captain is kicking things off with two horses he likes on Friday's card.
If you're looking for Del Mar picks today, horse racing predictions, and potential value plays, you've come to the right place. This Friday, The Captain has his sights set on Race 4 and Race 6, featuring two turf runners who look ready to deliver.
🏇 Del Mar Race 4 Pick: #8 We the Hobby (6-1 ML)
Trainer: Peter MillerJockey: Juan J. HernandezOwner: Altamira Racing StableMorning Line Odds: 6-1
The Captain loves the combination of trainer Peter Miller and jockey Juan Hernandez, especially with the strong ownership connection to Altamira Racing Stable.
This 4-year-old filly has been knocking on the door, hitting the board in 11 of her 13 turf starts, including seven runner-up finishes.
She's consistently right there at the wire but hasn't been able to seal the deal often enough. With just one career victory, Friday could be the perfect opportunity for her to finally break through for win number two.
The Captain's Take: At 6-1 on the morning line, We the Hobby offers an intriguing value opportunity. She's proven she belongs, and this could be her day!
🏇 Del Mar Race 6 Pick: #2 Jordi Bear (3-1 ML)
Trainer: Phil D'AmatoJockey: Joel RosarioMorning Line Odds: 3-1
The Captain is going with #2 Jordi Bear in Race 6, a talented 3-year-old gelding trained by Phil D'Amato with veteran jockey Joel Rosario getting the call.
Jordi Bear comes into Friday's race off a strong runner-up finish, missing by just half a length against similar competition. Two starts back, he finished third in a Grade 3 stakes race at Del Mar, showing he can compete at a higher level.
Since arriving in North America, Jordi Bear has been remarkably consistent. Outside of a troubled trip in the Oceanside Stakes, he's been right in the mix in every start.
The Captain's Take: With proven Del Mar form, competitive recent performances, and Rosario aboard, Jordi Bear looks like a serious contender in Race 6.
