There is plenty of great horse racing across America on Thursday, including at Delta Downs race track. We have been on fire with our picks for a long time now and are up +238.24 units on our race selections to our recommended stakes dating back to August 5, 2021. We have profited +9.2 units over the past 2 days and in 7 consecutive picks we have not had a horse finish worse than 2nd. Let’s keep the momentum rolling!
Here are our best bets for today’s action at Delta Downs race track.
Race 6 at Delta Downs is an open looking $35,000 Allowance over 7 furlongs on the dirt and an outsider who can hit the board at big odds here is Bordeaux Red who is lightly-raced and could have more to come. He finished third in a Maiden on his only start at this course and should strip much fitter for two runs in his grade at Louisiana Downs recently so it would not surprise should he make a bold showing from stall four.
A field of 10 fillies and mares go to post for this five furlong Claimer and they all have to go some to beat the filly in stall nine, Fish N Chick, who has won in this grade and has been running well in recent starts. Her last three form figures read 322 with her latest run being over an extended six furlongs at this course, whilst giving the impression this step back to five furlongs will suit, and I like her chances in this.
The penultimate event at Delta Downs is a very competitive Allowance in which a case can be made for most of this field but it can pay to side with Diablo Cat who is a two-time course and distance winner. Donald Melancon’s Chestnut gelding should be on the pace early here under regular rider Daniel Flores and if they get out of the gates and into a nice rhythm on the front end then his rivals could all be playing for places.
Confess is likely to go off favorite for the finale at Delta Downs, which is another Claiming contest over an extended six furlongs, and it’s clear to see why as he ran with great credit when finishing mid-division over course and distance last time and he should come on from that. He is the oldest horse in this field but with that comes experience and on his best form he can have a big say in this weak contest which looks there for the taking for him.
