Mr. George Strawbridge JR: Augustin Stables/Buffalo Sabres Hall of Fame
Welcome friends at the Turk blog, where I specialize in peat handicap and exact gambling. Today I am mainly focused on the big prize money at Kentucky Downs, but in view of the Breeder I would leave by not taking a good look The Del Mar Handicap G2. You can find my blog for Kentucky Down’s Nashville Derby here.
Do what you love. I love peat races and luckily I know I’m good at it. How do I know that? I hold statistics. Do you keep statistics of your own hits and mistakes? I recently started keeping up good records until I started this blog. When I was younger, I was instinctive. When I started maintaining statistics, I realized that I was good in peat and synthetic, terrible in dirt sprints and peat sprints, and much better with 4 years and higher. My statistics also varied greatly between traces. I learned where I was naturally biased and I doubled about it.
I still like a good dirt race, and I am not terrible. One thing I have done for a long time is to try to insulate myself from the prejudices of others. When I am these big dirty events on the handicap, I know very little about these horses, except what I read about the former versions and what my eyes tell me about video. Try it really. It doesn’t mean I’m not a fan of the sport. Of course I get foggy eyes to think Cody’s wish And the back story, but I am better when I block that. Anyway, let’s come after this!
Del Mar Turf Routes about 8 Furlongs: the middle messages (about 3-6 posts 3-6) win the most. Outdoor posts (7 and wider) fall sharply, and they are especially bad at 1 1/8 miles. Inner arrangements (1–3) can be very good on days when the temporary rail is far away (eg 30 feet), but without a track the distribution is more balanced across the middle. Practical collection meals: Upgrade posts 3–6 for Del Mar Turf routes over a mile, be careful with 7+ and give extra credit to 1–3 when the rail is out.
August 30, 2025; DMR; DMR H G2; 1 3/8 on turf
Tomlinson and Beyer Review
Our time form early and late pace
So what to make of all this? For me it is about the horses that come from long dismissals: Atitlan (26 May 2025), Real quality (February 8, 2025) And how they reinforce versus horses that come up with 2nds from BALNIKHOV (IRE) (July 27, 2025) and Gold Phoenix (IRE) (August 9, 2025).
5/1/4/9 about 5/1/4/9/11/7 A $ 2 Exacta for $ 40. That’s just a first idea, I would like to get that under $ 24. Have fun friends, Turk Out!
