Del Mar Best Bet: Aug. 22

Del Mar — Race 8

#9 Jack Kerouac

We close out Thursday’s race card with our best bet of the day. Jack Kerouac has never been this low class-wise since breaking his maiden and is certainly not facing any monsters in here.

The 3-year-old colt sports some of the highest speed figures while facing tougher and one of the better jockeys Antonio Fresu saw enough from him last time out while running into trouble down the stretch to also return for the ride.

Jack Kerouac’s pedigree says the distance and turf should be no problem.

Look for a nice stalking trip from the outside post as we collect a win at what should be a very decent price.
