Del Mar Pick 6 Carryover Analysis (11-8-26)

I’m breaking down the Sunday, November 8 Pick 6 sequence at Del Mar. The carryover amount is $45,175, with the sequence beginning in Race 4 and continuing through Race 9.

I’ll identify my top choice in each Pick 6 race, and you can watch my video below for more extensive analysis.

Race 4: Maiden Claiming $16,000 – Five and One-Half Furlongs on Dirt

Top Choice: #3 Cherry Candy

Cherry Candy added blinkers last time and showed improved pace figures, jumping to a 131 pace rating while earning an 86 Final Time Rating.

She finished fifth in a maiden claiming $20,000 race, but now drops to the $16,000 level. Kyle Frey returns, and I like the possibility of this filly getting out there and controlling the pace.

If she can establish the lead without using too much energy early, she could take this field all the way.

Race 5: $25,000 Claiming – Non-Winners of Two Lifetime, One Mile on Turf

Top Choice: #6 Jenny’s Wine Girl

Jenny’s Wine Girl was claimed out of her last start by Tim Yakteen and now makes several interesting changes.

Yakteen is 5-for-10 first after the claim, and he has a 30% win rate with horses removing blinkers.

Jenny’s Wine Girl added blinkers last time, pressed the pace in a six-and-one-half-furlong turf race, and finished fourth. Now she removes the blinkers and stretches back out to a turf route.

She has run five times at this distance, recording two seconds and three third-place finishes. She also finished third in her lone Del Mar turf-route appearance.

Juan Hernandez takes the mount. I like the possibility of Jenny’s Wine Girl getting to the front and controlling the pace. If she can settle into a comfortable rhythm, she could be difficult to catch.

Race 6: Allowance Optional Claiming – Six Furlongs on Dirt

Top Choice: #5 Himari

Himari has the best projected Fire Number, CPR, Fast Fig, and Final Time Rating.

She earned a 134 Final Time Rating last time out at Santa Anita, along with a 141 pace rating. She removed blinkers and finished a close second in that six-and-one-half-furlong affair. She also won her debut at Del Mar at the same six-and-one-half-furlong distance.

Bob Baffert trains, and Juan Hernandez rides. I like the combination of her early speed, strong recent figures, and proven Del Mar sprint form.
