Check out my Saturday (11-14-26) Del Mar Race 3 analysis below.

DMR 3 (Deși Arnaz, 7f) – Post Time 4:32 PM ET
Primary – #3 SEA’S NO JOKE, #1 Holmby
Secondary – #5 Mo Chuisle

Horse Comments:

#3 Sea’s No Joke (7-5) was 2-1 in her 5.5f bow and she chased the pace from an outer post and weakened to 7th of 10. Bob Baffert’s $310k Practical Joke filly stretched out, got clear from the inside post, and graduated at one mile Oct. 24. She is prepping for a possible start in the Grade 2 Starlet at 1 1/16 miles at LRC on Dec. 5.  

#1 Holmby (4-5) won her first two dirt sprints at DMR. She dueled early and edged clear in her 5f bow and runner-up Quattro Passi was a next-out winner. She stalked and scored by a neck in the G3 Sorrento at 6f second time out, and she was best of the rest in third behind her romping stablemate Miss Monica in the G1 Del Mar Debutante at 7f Sept. 5. She stretched out and was second best behind romping winner Domain Expansion in the G2 Oak Leaf at 8.5f Oct. 3. She turns back and gets class relief, and Juan Hernandez is 2-for-2 with her.

#5 Mo Chuisle (5-1) was the favorite in her 6f debut Oct. 4 and she stalked and scored by 1 1/4 lengths over Vino Vino Vino. Michael McCarthy’s $825k Omaha Beach filly drew the comfortable outside post in this compact field.
