Del Mar - Race 8
#7 Pacific Halo (5/1 ml)
I've lost twice on this horse so far, and he did seem to regress last time out, but i'm willing to give him one more chance here with the change in venue and more importantly the addition of blinkers. He last wore blinkers in the race which originally caught my eye, when he was tons the best @ Santa Anita before going on the shelf with some type of injury. Also, it's possible that Pacific Halo may have bounced last time out, coming off the sharp effort after a 4-month layoff. Meets a field of mostly route horses here, and should be able to either take the lead himself or sit off the flank of Winterscore, who certainly isn't the strongest finisher in the world. Looks like a good spot for him here.
HRT record:
