Del Mar Dirt Sprint Trends Early-speed horses and "pressers" are the clear champions of 6 furlongs or less in dirt sprints. During the 2023-24 season, these frontrunners-those who set the pace or were within four lengths of the lead at the ¾ pole-captured an impressive 92% of dirt sprint victories. In contrast, "sustained" runners, commonly known as closers, have faced challenges, winning only 9% of these races. This does not include races at 6.5 furlongs. This trend has been consistent for quite some time. Horses in the lead as they round the turn for home tend to have a better chance of winning at Del Mar than any other racetrack on the West Coast. The seaside location of Del Mar is ideal for horses with experience there. Horses that have not raced "Where the Turf Meets the Surf" often find it challenging. Keep this in mind when evaluating this year's Breeders' Cup contenders.
Pretty lukewarm stuff from someone like Boarman. No strong opinions on the topic, and no strong opinions on any other race. He may be a good bettor but don't make the video if you're going to slump through it.
Gd luck guys. But Sean. No real finishers in here. Ok... nakatomi finishing in track record time. And j.k. stop trying to pick a c. Brown hores. Stick with yr nice pick of nakatomi like u did b4 when he won.

Del Mar is a speed favoring track. Straight No Chaser is the speed of the speed.
he's got the home field advantage!
