Frankly Speaking - Del Mar August 3, 2023

Recap of Sunday's racing and an eye toward Week 3.

The Lucky Box!

For those who’ve been reading this “Frankly Speaking” column since the start of the meet, you’ll remember how I wrote about how my box—28H, which I co-own with my buddy Ciaran Thornton—was a lucky one on Opening Day. Well, let’s just say that after Race 9, the Eddie Read (G2), on Sunday, July 30, box 28H is now 2-for-2 on the meet when an owner sits there, so that means our box is tied for first place in wins with wherever Reddam; Barber; and Bello & Bartlett sit, since those three owners have two wins so far this meet as well! Is there a prize for “Winningest Box?” I doubt it, but there should be!
