Delaware Park picks and analysis: June 6, 2025

Picks and analysis for this afternoon’s card from Delaware Park:

RACE 1

5. H C Holiday	Enters off a win and should get a good trip
3. Divine Armor	Late-running sort easily won when last dropped into beaten company but lack of early foot a concern in a race that doesn’t project to be super-quick early
1. Jacohare	Seems to have rounded back into form

RACE 2

4. Dark Dutchess	Useful enough return to action in latest and has decent turf outings to run back to; bug rider Del Fabbro with four wins to start the meet
8. Sweet Summer Love	Return to more appropriate company a plus in third off the bench
7. Wudhooh	Gets third different trainer in as many starts and arrives off a clunker versus better, but best is good enough

RACE 3

2. Brightness	Drops to lowest level; didn’t run terribly in latest behind 4-5 Into Mischielf filly making debut
6. Winnie’s Dash	Decent try in latest after breaking out and bumping rival
1. Dina’s Touch	Gate issues haven’t helped this miss, but if worked out, she could take a step forward; gets 10-pound bug Vargas

RACE 4

9. Salted Carmel	Well spotted to get second win after rallying to front before ceding against better; has run nothing but good races on turf
4. Homer Jones	Good trip in latest but never could get by winner
3. Fast Joker	If he can carry dirt form to turf, he’s a player here; Practical Joke not a great turf sire (8% turf routes)

RACE 5

3. Viking Queen	Thrashed similar last out and should get simiilar mid-pack trip here
4. Liam’s Kiss	Last couple aren’t good but return to best puts her in the mix
5. Vodkatini	Might be controlling speed but doesn’t need the lead

RACING NOTES

With 13-1 Mach Two Blue and 10-1 Old Bay winning the fifth and sixth races, respectively, both the middle Pick 5 (races 3-7) and late Pick 5 (4-8) carried over. The late Pick 5 will carry over to today, but with just seven-race cards today and tomorrow, the middle Pick 5 will not be offered. The late Pick 5 carryover is more than $11,000…
Trainer Victor Carrasco, Jr. won twice, taking the opener with Muthabir ($3.20) and the nightcap with Ritabook ($16.20)…

RACE 6

3. Knockanara	Good-looking score with something in reserve
4. Enzo	Finally graduates after several near misses; makes third start off the bench
6. Bolt From Above	Late-running sort has kept better company

RACE 7

2. Skylar’s Brother	Should already have graduated two back but interfered with a rival he was going past in deep stretch; should sit right off the pace here
1. Global Phenom	Improved tries in most recent pair and likely to be on the engine
7. Code Name Chance	First-timer is a half to a first-out winner and doesn’t have to be a world-beater to contend
