On to the Turf for Stakes Saturday

 It is Breeder's Cup Championships at Del Mar today. We take a look at the last race on the card where the ladies will battle on the Turf.

Del Mar Thoroughbred Club {Breeder's Cup Filly & Mare Turf~G1~1 3/8 mile~TURF~Fillies/Mares~3-year-old Up~Graded Stakes}

A full group of thirteen ladies will hit the Del Mar Turf in this annual event.

Past Performances used:  DRF Formulator.

Expect the Euro-invaders to dominate this race. There are six in the field. Speed Figs/Time Form ratings are fairly close. Five have competed at the distance, while two will cut back to the distance from their last. Only three have raced over the Del Mar course. There are five millionaires in the field. It comes up a little light on speed. You can expect a euro-quickening as they head into the stretch run. It should be a fantastic race to conclude this year's Breeders Cup Championships.
