Del Mar — Race 8
#3 Heywoods Beach
Take the winner with some value in the Grade 2 Cougar with Heywoods Beach. The 5-year-old should be ready to go in start No. 2 this year after returning a solid number in a Grade 1 event at Santa Anita on May 30. Trainer John Sadler has excellent numbers in these types of situations and with all eyes on favorite Tizamagician (who hasn’t run since November 2021), Heywoods Beach should get us a much better price. He already has some of the field’s best speed figures that should only get better today in this second start along with a slight drop in class and jockey Ramon Vazquez taking the call.
