Thursday's (8-28-08) 8-race Del Mar card features a Pick 6 Carryover of $473,943. The card also includes the $80k Adoration Handicap for fillies and mares traveling a flat mile over Polytrack, and #9 UNSPOKEN WORD (6-1) is my horse of the day.

UNSPOKEN WORD exits a wide 3rd in a needed local sprint, and Jerry Hollendorfer is 20% with horses making their 2nd start off a layoff. She is 0-3 over synthetic but all starts were in the stakes ranks, including bang-up place finish behind win machine Dearest Trickski in the Grade 1 7f La Brea.

Garrett Gomez sticks, and he is 30% with this barn. She can go at least this far and might get brave if able to sneak away early.

Day 38 Del Mar Horse du Jour: #9 UNSPOKEN WORD (race 7)

Day 37 Del Mar Horse du Jour Warren's Lady Slew (5-2) was expected to sit a great trip behind a contested pace, but she unexpectedly dueled (:21-4/5, :45-2/5) from the inside and weakened to 5th from her early efforts.
