Away from the Storm

While the Atlantic's fury rages along the Eastern seaboard, we look west towards the Pacific Classic.

Del Mar Race 9 {Pacific Classic~G1~1 1/4 mile~3 year old Up~Stakes}
What a great field for one of summer's great races.  All have made superior performances on synthetic surfaces which will make this one supremely exciting.  The entire group has been well prepped by their trainers hoping to capture a portion of the one million dollar purse.

#9 Game On Dude (Sutherland / Baffert) looks primed for this race with the highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and five sensational, peaking workouts.  He should press the pace waiting to make the right move in timely fashion for the victory.
$2 SHOW.

#10 Twirling Candy (Rosario / Sadler) will challenge mightily sharing the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four significant workouts.  He should sit off the pace ready to strike at the turn into the stretch.
$2 SHOW.

#1 Don Cavallo (Contreras / Attfield) is another that will stay close to the pace and make his move when the time is right.  He holds the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and four superb, peaking workouts.
$2 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest

#5 Acclamation (Valenzuela / Warren) is a Turf warrior that may be the speed of the race and should hold on for a piece of the purse pie.  He holds the third highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and four robust, peaking workouts.  He will have his hands full with the other speedsters in this one.

10 CENT Superfecta
