Del Mar Race 9
4 - Ransom the Moon
Ransom the Moon is stepping up in class today and connections of trainer Philip D'Amato and jockey Flavien Prat mean business with such a move. Moon has been in the exacta five straight, including running one of the quickest 6.5 furlong victories in the Kona Gold Stakes. Prat has been aboard for these runs and holds the hot hand to take advantage of champion Drefong while he is returning at a very short price. Can't ever underestimate a horse rolling at a nice price and on the way up with top connections.
