Del Mar Bing Crosby Season | Horse Racing Free Tips

Sunday’s Del Mar Pick 6 Mandatory Payout Features $590,935 Carryover

Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif., will offer a mandatory payout on its Pick Six wager Sunday – the final day of its 2021 Bing Crosby Season – with a carryover of $590,935 amassed Saturday when nobody was able to hit the exotic wager for the 12th consecutive day.

The general situational formula for wagers of this type is that pools as large as the current one at the seaside oval normally draw somewhere in the neighborhood of seven times the carryover amount offered. That could mean that “new” money of between $3 and $4 million will be added to the pool Sunday and it all must be paid out.

The track has offered a .20¢ Rainbow Pick Six – properly called the Pick Six Single Ticket Jackpot Wager – since the start of its fall session requiring the winner of the six-race bet to be the sole ticket holder in order to cash in. But the closing day “mandatory payout” arrangement means the bet on Sunday reverts to a standard Pick Six wager where all of those with the most number of winners get paid.

Del Mar hosted the two-day Breeders' Cup Championships during its current meet on November 5 and 6, but all wagering on those events was separate from the track's 13-day fall meeting.

Sunday's nine-race card will have a first post of 12:30 p.m. The .20¢ Rainbow Pick Six starts on Race 4, which is scheduled to go off at approximately 2 p.m.

Beat Ray At Del Mar: Will New Challenger ‘Peak’ At Right Time?

XBTV's Zoe Cadman joins host Michelle Yu and Ray Paulick as guest handicapper for the final weekend of the Beat Ray Everyday Beach Boss competition at Del Mar, a free-to-play online contest that gives each player a mythical $100 to wager in win, place and show bets on selected races.

The contest, which takes place each racing day of the Bing Crosby Season, awards the player with the highest mythical bankroll at the end of the meet with two VIP tickets, hotel and a travel stipend to visit the Del Mar summer season. (More information here.)

While Paulick is drowning in bad picks, Cadman comes on strong with her selection of Irish-bred Cathkin Peak in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby, citing trouble at the start of his last race in the G2 Twilight Derby and a jockey switch to Flavien Prat.

Paulick goes with Beyond Brilliant, a horse that was outrun down the stretch by Cathkin Peak last out. Yu, whose insights have been on target for much of the meet, cautions both players not to overlook Camp Hope, the Kenny McPeek-trained Midwest invader coming off two successive wins at Keeneland.

Watch the season finale of Beach Boss below.

Never Be Enough Rallies Late For Kathryn Crosby Score On Del Mar Opening Day

Ron Charles and Samuel Gordon's mare Never Be Enough, a shipper from Golden Gate Fields in the Bay Area making her first stakes start stateside, lagged early in the one-mile Kathryn Crosby Stakes on the Del Mar lawn Saturday, then came running hard through the lane to capture the overnight by a length as the seaside track opened its fall racing season.

Tiago Pereira rode the winner, a 5-year-old daughter of the British sire Sir Percy bred in England. Her trainer is Manuel Badilla, who shipped his chestnut mare south, then rooted her home from his Golden Gate base.

Finishing second in the $75,000 turf test for fillies and mares was Branham, Baltas and McClanahan's Colonial Creed, who had three-quarters of a length on Donnie Crevier's Cordiality. Deborah McAnally Trust's She's Our Charm, the race favorite at 19-10, led for much of the trip, but was outrun late and finished fifth.

Never Be Enough, who covered the mile distance in 1:33.87, paid $14.80, $7.40 and $5.20 across the board. Colonial Creed returned $8.20 and $5.40 and Cordiality paid $4.20 to show.

The winner picked up a check for $46,740, increasing her earnings to $147,425. She's now finished first in seven of 27 starts, including races in Europe where she went over the jumps and tackled the boys on more than one occasion.

Three riders won two races each on the nine-race card – Mike Smith, Juan Hernandez and apprentice Alexis Centeno. Nine different trainers had winners during the afternoon.

Racing resumes at Del Mar on Sunday with first post at 12:30 p.m.

TIAGO PEREIRA (Never Be Enough, winner) – “My agent (Patty Sterling) spoke to the trainer (Manuel Badilla) this morning about this horse. He said she's got lots of speed and could go to the front. But if you go to the front, she's not going to finish. He said take a hold of her and get her to relax. Then get them in the straight. That's just what I did and when I asked the horse in the lane she had a great kick. Really good way to start the meet for me.”

MANUEL BADILLA (Never Be Enough, winner) – By phone from Golden Gate Fields: “I was a little nervous when she was last at the half-mile pole. Then I saw the fractions and I wasn't as nervous. This mare has a turn of foot and she's a real runner. The last race up here she beat a horse of mine (Blue Diva) I've won a couple stakes with. Back in Europe she ran against boys and in hurdles and on the flat. Talk about an iron horse. She'll ship back here Tuesday and we'll decide what's next from there.”

FRACTIONS: :22.59 :45.94 1:10.08 1:22.11 1:33.87

The stakes win was the first in the Kathryn Crosby for rider Pereira and his first of the meet. He now has nine stakes wins at Del Mar.

The stakes win was the first ever at Del Mar for trainer Badilla.

The winning owners are Ron Charles of Sunland, Calif., and his partner Samuel Gordon.

Del Mar’s Bing Crosby Season Kicks Off With Evenly Matched Group In Kathryn Crosby Stakes

For Saturday's opening of Del Mar's seventh fall race meeting, its racing office carded a nifty feature that drew eight fillies and mares who'll run a mile on the turf. A handicapper might need a large crowbar to separate them all.

The Bing Crosby Season kicks off with a salute to the classy wife of the late singer and track co-founder – Kathryn Crosby – with a stakes race named in her honor and limited to fillies and mare aged 3 and up. It will be offered as the seventh event on a nine-race program that is off and running at 12:30 p.m. Pacific, the starting time for virtually all programs every day for the fall session.

Pick a filly or mare in this lineup and you can make a ready case why she could or should win. Morning line maker Jon White gave just the slightest of edges for favoritism to Donnie Crevier's veteran mare Cordiality as he hung her at a lukewarm 7-2. He put Branham, Baltas or McClanahan's Colonial Creed next at 4-1, then put a 5-1 projection on four different horses. It figures to be a tight one in the wagering and just as tight out on the Jimmy Durante Turf Course.

Here's the full field for the $75,000 overnight stakes from the rail out with riders and morning line odds:

Hronis Racing's Ellie Arroway (Victor Espinoza, 8-1); Charles or Gordon's Never Be Enough (Tiago Periera, 5-1); Gem or Kagele's Proud Emma (Flavien Prat, 8-1); Deborah McAnally Trust's She's Our Charm (Juan Hernandez, 5-1); Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners' Muchly (Umberto Rispoli, 5-1); Cordiality (Drayden Van Dyke); Baoma Corp's Qahira (Abel Cedillo, 5-1), and Colonial Creed (Mario Gutierrez).

Cordiality, a 7-year-old who can still pick them up and put them down, comes into the race off a wire-to-wire tally at Santa Anita at the same distance on Oct. 3, besting several of the rivals she'll face Saturday. The Tim Yakteen-trained daughter of Papa Clem has 12 wins in 33 lifetime starts and sports a trio of firsts and a pair of seconds in seven Del Mar turf starts. She's the top earner in the lineup with $620,815 in purses.

Colonial Creed races out of the barn of trainer Richard Baltas. The 4-year-old chestnut by Jimmy Creed is a steady sort who rarely misses picking up a check and has three wins and three seconds in her 10 turf starts. She was third to Cordiality, less than two lengths behind, in the October 3 race at Santa Anita.

Muchly missed to Cordiality be less than a length in the aforementioned heat. The 4-year-old British-bred by the Zafonic stallion Iffraaj is conditioned by Simon Callaghan and has finished on the board in all but one of her stateside races since coming over from Europe this year.

She's Our Charm has won three of seven lifetime starts and comes into the race off a wire-to-wire score at Santa Anita on October 16. Hall of Famer Ron McAnally is the 4-year-old filly's trainer and – with his wife Deborah – breeder. She's by the high-line Kentucky stallion Candy Ride – who McAnally trained to win the 2003 Pacific Classic at Del Mar – and out of their Empire Maker mare Charm the Maker. She's captured three of seven outs in her brief career and has the kind of speed that makes her the likely pacesetter in Saturday's feature.
