Date  10/30/25 
   
Featured track  Del Mar 
   
Race number  7 
   
Race overview  The 100k Let It Ride for California-bred 3yos at 1-mile on the turf. 
   
Pace  It looks honest, and potentially hot, as there are more than a few who want to be close early. 
   
Trends  N/A 
   
Best Play  #6 FRIENDLY CONFINES (2-1) (turf only): Versatile sort looked good winning his return off a six-month layoff, has a class edge too, having run 2nd in an open stakes in March, drew well, and has more upside than anyone else as well. 
   
Bet Types    He looks 6-5 or 7-5 in here, so a win bet isn’t getting you rich, but you can single in the late Pk5/Pk4, which will allow for more coverage in the deeper, more competitive races in the sequences.
