Let's Go Early on the Turf at the Breeder's Cup

 Let's take a look at the Turf race before the Breeder's Cup races begin. Named after one of the finest Turf milers ever, the Goldikova.

Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Race 3 {Goldikova~G3~1 mile~3 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~graded Stakes}

A fine field of ten ladies will hit the green in this fantastic race.

Past Performances used:  DRFClassic.

There is a good amount of speed to bring forth a strong pace. Speed numbers are fairly close making it very competitive. Two Euros make the field. The balance are all North American based horses. Half the field will race at Del Mar for the first time. It should be an excellent race heading into the Breeder's Cup races.

#3 Fluffy Socks (I. Ortiz / C. Brown) is the sole millionaire in the race. She has posted excellent speed numbers in each of her last three races. This gal has hit the board in all three of her races at Del Mar. She is primed for a stellar effort. Daughter of Slumber [GB], she is 69% in the money from twenty-nine starts.
