All Delaware, all the time!

It's finally here, the 2010 Delaware Handicap is on Saturday. This year's field is not the best the race has ever seen, but it's nice for this year. In all honestly, this race would have been alot better had Rachel Alexandra been in here. Not saying that this year's horses aren't nice for the race, but I would have loved to finally see Rachel in person. Lets look at the field for this year's DelCap. Like the previous two years, it will be a Win and In for the Breeders Cup. Meaning that the winner (if nominated) will have a spot in the Ladies Classic in November. Here's this year's field!

11th
Delaware H. (G2)
1 1/4 Miles | Fillies and Mares | 3 Year Olds And Up Stakes | Purse: $750,000
Post # Horse Jockey Weight Claim Price Equip. Med.
1 Funny Moon Garcia Alan 121 L
2 Miss Singhsix (IRE) Valdivia J Jr 118 L
3 Milwaukee Appeal Elliott S 119 LA
4 Million Seller Rose J 114 LA
5 Miss Match (ARG) Hernandez B J Jr 115 LA
6 Life At Ten Velazquez J R 122 LA

Funny Moon and Life at Ten are the G1 winners in this year's edition. Miss Singhsix won the Obeah the local prep, the past two years the winner who was 2007 DelCap winner Unbridled Belle has finished third in the DelCap. Milwaukee Appeal won last year's Woodbine Oaks and finished 3rd in the Queen's Plate and 2nd by a nose in the Prince of Wales. She's probley better on dirt then poly, and this is probley the confidence booster she needs. Never heard of Million Seller and Miss Match who could have a say in things. So who am I picking? I'm going with Milwaukee Appeal with Funny Moon second and Miss Singhsix third. However, I fully expect Life at Ten to win tomorrow.

The Dick and Carpenter don't have the greatest fields either, but Gozzip Girl is going in the Dick and Our Edge in the Carpenter. As for me? I'm planning to be there, but most likely not the entire card this year due to other obligations. So the plan is to be there for the Carpenter, Dick and DelCap. A recap of DelCap weekend and the other stakes action across the country (i.e. Virginia Derby, American Derby, American Handicap, Modesty) will be happening on Monday.
