Our play from horse racing on Sunday comes from the third race at Del Mar.

The third is a 1 1/8th of a mile race for optional $80,000 claiming Cal Breds three year olds and upward racing on the Del Mar synthetic surface.

Post time is scheduled for 6PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on TVG.

Our free pick is taking #1 Lyons Barton to win.

This three year old gelding is ridden by Joel Rosario and trained by Gary Stute.

Lyons Barton has won two straight races and is a perfect 2-0 in his young career going distance.

He is coming off an Allowance victory at a mile on the turf over Hollywood Park on July 15th so the turf to main track angle is in play here.

He produced a very good 90 Brisnet speed figure in that open Allowance victory. He has shown the ability to win with the lead or off the pace.

He had a pretty good work over Del Mar on August 9th in preparation for this event.

Stute and Rosario trainer/jock combo is hitting at 67% winners the past 60 days.

Play #1 Lyons Barton to win race 3 at Del Mar 7-2 on the Morning Line.

Post Time at 6:00PM Eastern Time televised by TVG
