Taking a small stab at Del Mar's pick six

There's a $427,333 pick-six carryover at Del Mar today and I need some money. Translation: I'm going to take a stab at the pot and see what happens.

FIFTH
Exile -- Second-timer for Richard Mandella, he ran well in his debut and has every right to improve.
Payment Approved -- has the speed to wire this field, depending on how the inconsistent Polytrack surface is playing at the time.

SIXTH
John Scott -- Broke poorly, had a wide trip and still won like a good colt in his debut.

SEVENTH
Indian Firewater -- The Indian Charlie colt, a $400,000 purchase, figures to improve off a fourth-place effort in his debut.
Via Verde -- First-timer for leading trainer John Sadler has some good works.

EIGHTH
Lookin At Lucky -- The Smart Strike colt is 2 for 2, and why bet against Bob Baffert now after he's already won two Grade 1 stakes this weekend?

NINTH
Draft Choice -- Won for $10,000, finished fourth for $16,000 and now drops one peg higher than level he won at. Carava-Pedroza team is tough.

TENTH
Kalookan Commando -- Leonard Powell-trained gelding had a brutal trip in his debut here on Aug. 14, did some running and deserves another shot.
Zees Echo -- Swiss Yodeler colt finished third, beaten only two lengths, after a wide trip. Joe Talamo stays aboard, and trainer Mike Harrington is good with 2-year-olds.

That's a $16 ticket, and I think I'm live in all six races. Of course, you need luck too.

Good luck!
