This Autumn season at Del Mar, has been fantastic for Joe Talamo, who is quoting again, thanks to his good and constant performances has managed to return to the foreground.
Coliseum, is the golden goose that has the duo Baffert-Talamo, between their hands. The firm Godolphin was inclined by the best formula to obtain a triumph in the most prestigious race of the orb, hired the trainer with more successes in the last four years, including two Triplecoronados. For a horseman as enthusiastic as Sheik Mohamad Al Maktoum, the Kentucky Derby is a trophy that he wants to treasure in his Dubai showcases.
Meanwhile Drayen Van Dyke has become the surprise of the season, because so far is commanding the statistic by a slight margin. Two wins separate the current leader over Flavien Prat, although we must point out that the latter has not brought them all with him, since he has stayed 13 times with the second place, while Drayden has half in that position.
The big absentee in the statistics is the veteran Mike Smith, who is lost in statistics far from the first places.
Only four functions are missing for Del Mar to close its doors, there are just over thirty races that are ahead and where Flaven Prat appears, it will definitely be a good option to include it in your selections. Giovanni Franco, is not far from the fight for the first place with 12 victories in the saddlebags.
So we have the third to follow from Thursday 29, Giovanni, Flavien and Drayden. They can be the basis of a pair of Pick 6 races that will open on Thursday with a cumulative of $ 155,000.
