It could not be a nicer day today at Del Mar, with brilliantly clear skies and no trace of the fog that made part of yesterday's card seem like it was a scene in a Stephen King movie.

Nine races on tap for Day 2 of the fall meeting, post time at 12:30 Pacific. Here are the scratches:

Race 1 -- number 2

Race 5 -- number 1

Race 7 -- number 2

Race 8 -- number 6

The scratch of Carnivorous (6) in race 8 leaves a field of five for the featured Let It Ride Stakes.

Jay Trotter signing off for now.
