Del Mar: Best Bet 8/19

Del Mar Race 2

1 - Ninety Nine Proof  

This 2-year-old colt was visually impressive breaking his maiden in his first career start and now faces a pretty easy group of winners. Trainer Andy Mathis put in a nice 4F work between races and like jockey Iggy Puglisi getting back aboard. The maiden victory produced one of top speed figures in the field and Ninety Nine Proof still has room to improve making just his second career start. Pedigree, sire Idiot Proof, suggests the 5.5F distance is perfect and look for Ninety Nine Proof to get a speedy victory Friday night with a great speed rider in Puglisi.
