DOUBLE TROUBLE LIVE • PREMIER MEMBERS
FRANK FOUND A SNEAKY SINGLE.
CIARAN BROUGHT A CHEESOLA.
Del Mar • Thursday, August 27
TODAY’S LIVE-WAGERING SHOW
LIVE AT 4:10 P.M. PT
Frank, Ciaran and Mark will build the Late Pick 3 and Late Double in real time.
Premier Members,
Thursday’s Del Mar card contains three wide-open late races, several possible prices
and enough conflicting opinions to keep the DTL complaint department fully staffed.
Frank is considering a sneaky single on a horse whose recent form looks like it was
printed during a power outage. Ciaran has placed his faith in a horse named
The Big Cheesola.
This is precisely why we have Premier Membership—and possibly why handicappers age faster than normal people.
RACE 6: LET THE ARGUMENT BEGIN
FRANK:
#5 Check’s On the Way (8/1) is his sneaky potential single.
The form looks frightening, but the class drop, his old races and Rispoli riding back
make Frank believe the check may actually be on the way.
CIARAN:
Prefers #2 Y’All Come, followed by
#9 No More Ding Dongs and #6 Gypsy Tears.
He will use Frank’s #5 on backup tickets—also known as the
“I don’t agree, but I don’t want to hear about it for six months” ticket.
RACE 7: A BRIEF OUTBREAK OF AGREEMENT
Frank and Ciaran both put #8 Lanilla on top.
She gets Rosario, added distance and a race shape that should allow her to come flying late.
Both also respect #7 Cat the Confidante, while
#5 Specialty at 12/1 offers legitimate upset potential.
Frank’s extra price: #4 Hello Kid O Kid O at 15/1.
Recent form: unattractive. Potential payoff: considerably more attractive.
RACE 8: THE LOGICAL SINGLE—WITH AN ESCAPE HATCH
Both handicappers land on #6 Mio Bambino.
He was claimed from a cold barn, Rosario rides through the claim and his speed figures
suggest he should dominate this field.
Naturally, that makes everyone nervous.
Premier Best Bet Engine:
#2 Stagger Lee is marked as an AGAINST-BIAS BET BACK.
He returns to dirt, drops in class and could offer value near his 8/1 morning line.

DO NOT MISS THE LIVE MOVES
LIVE TODAY AT 4:10 P.M. PT
We’ll update scratches, watch the board and decide whether Frank’s sneaky single
is brilliant—or merely the beginning of another lengthy explanation.
SATURDAY: THE BIG ONE
SPECIAL TRAVERS DAY SHOW
We’ll cover the Travers and the huge Saratoga stakes card for Adelphi Racing Club.
Gold Phoenix also attempts to make Del Mar Handicap history—because apparently
one coast of chaos wasn’t enough for us.
