Tonight at Balmoral Park is a Guaranteed Pick 4 for $20,000, along with it being $2 Miller Lite night. Before I cover the selections for the Pick 4, I wanted to spotlight the results from the Alabama and Del Mar Oaks today. All know I like It’s Tricky and selected her to win the Alabama. Today, Royal Delta made amends for her loss to It’s Tricky last out, and won with a strong effort down the stretch. It’s Tricky finished 2nd. Congratulations to Bill Mott and his team for having Royal Delta ready. In the Del Mar Oaks, the West Coast version of the Alabama, but on turf. I had Nereid winning this race. The result was Summer Soiree hanging on to beat Nereid and Star Billing. So the day ended with one winner (Finale at Monmouth), a second (It's Tricky at Saratoga) and a third (Nereid at Del Mar). Now let's get the Pick 4 and go home happy.
