A little bit of interesting but likely meaningless breeding information from Del Mar's opening day program.

In Race 7, FTS Imnotvanillasky debuts for Mark Glatt. I have no idea how she will run and I am making no claims about her ability to run. However, I do want to note a few things about the horse's breeding.

Mom Sambamzajammin raced 10 times. 10-1-3-1 with a 2nd place finish on debut.

Full brother Really Big News exclusively raced on turf with a record of 14-1-4-2 with a 2nd place finish on debut.

Full brother Letmein has raced 7 times. 7-1-4-1 with a 2nd place finish on debut. This one runs in race 9 and likely a chance the horse goes off favored.

Half brother Macho Sam raced 17 times. 17-2-6-3.

Lucky Sam raced one time finishing a terrible 12th in 2023. 1-0-0-0

Combined record of mom and siblings per drf although only the ones above are showing so the numbers for the sibling summary don't add up with the PP's of siblings available. Nonetheless if drf is correct, mom and siblings of Imnotvanillasky: 53-6-18-6.

Record of the PP's showing for mom and siblings: 49-5-17-7

Either way, the family sure likes to show up for the 2nd place spot and often on debut. Not sure I've ever seen anything quite like that from a breeding standpoint.

I'm interested in Druliner in race 7 but doubt the horse is anywhere near the M/L of 5-1. Worth watching the replay and deciding if this one figured it out late and runs a big one this time. Full sister debuted in March for MdnClm50k and won at 5-1 for Lewis. I'll take my chances in the win pool on Druliner at 7-2 or higher. I might just have a straight exacta 5-1 in the race also for a small amount.

In the Oceanside, Bodi Zafa is the value.

I'll let you toss Letmein based on that 2nd place breeding if you like and find the winner in race 9. I'm still searching a bit but will let Glatt beat me here.

Race 10 I'll have Lady Chic who galloped out well chasing the winner and Miss Artois on my horizontals. Unfortunately the takeout on p4 and late p5 is ridiculous so I'll likely bet Druliner to win in race 7 and swing on the $3 Late Pick 3 with a 15% takeout.
