Stakes Saturday at Fabulous Del Mar

On this Stakes Saturday we will take a swing at a graded stakes race where the "Turf meets the Surf".

Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Race 10 {Bing Crosby~G1~6 Furlongs~3 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}

With expected scratches, this race will be to a field of eight skilled sprinters. There is plenty of speed to create a sizzling pace. Speed numbers are very close making it very competitive.  All have been well prepped to make a great showing in the race. Any one of these fellas could pull of the victory. Schedule it as one of the most exciting race of the day.

#9 Collusion Illusion (Prat / Glatt) could be one of the favorites with the third highest (tie) last out speed number and four stellar workouts. This guy loves the distance and the Del Mar track. He should be tracking the pace closely ready to spring towards the leaders as they head into the stretch. A son of Twirling Candy, he holds an 80% win record from five career starts.
$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#2 Anyportinastorm (J. Hernandez / Wright) will challenge with the fourth highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. This guy absolutely loves the distance as he sports a 100% in the money record from eight starts at it. He should be part of the pack of leaders on the front-end. A son of City Zip, he is 94% in the money from sixteen career starts.
$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#3 Desert Law (V. Espinoza / Gaines) should contend with the highest speed number at the distance and three stamina producing workouts. He excels at the distance with an 80% in the money record from ten starts at it. He also loves the Del Mar track. A son of Desert Code, he is 59% in the money from seventeen career starts.

Superfecta Sunday in the Lincoln National Forest

Yes! We look in on a fantastic stakes race for New Mexico bred ladies in the midst of the Lincoln National Forest. It should be a fine Superfecta Sunday.

Ruidoso Downs Race 8 {Lincoln Handicap~6 Furlongs~3 year-old Up~Fillies and Mares~NM~Stakes}

We can look forward to a nice full field of twelve in this annual affair. Much of the speed should be coming from the outside posts. Speed numbers are very close for this group. Only two have never raced at Ruidoso. Most come in fresh off modest layoffs. It should be a thrilling sprint. Our task is to lasso a winning 10 CENT Superfecta Box ticket.

#8 Waltzing Attila (Negron / Summers) might be the one to beat coming off a two win streak out of Zia Park. She holds the second highest (tie) last out speed number and three super strong workouts. This gal also holds the second highest speed number at the distance. A daughter of Atilla's Strom, she should be part of the pace scenario. She is 70% in the money from twenty-three career starts. We give her the nod as our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.

#2 Orogrande (L. Fuentes / Burton) will give chase coming off a modest layoff with three decent last out speed numbers. She holds the third highest speed number at the distance. This 5 year-old mare enters with three robust workouts. A daughter of Quinton's Gold, she is 60% in the money from twenty-five career starts. Strong connections enhance her chances.

#10 I'm a Dancing Who (Sterling / Summers) should challenge with the highest last out speed number and four superb workouts. She should fire fresh off a modest layoff. This gal also holds the highest speed number at the distance. A daughter of Indian Firewater, she is 49% in the money from twenty-nine career starts. She should be racing close to the pace.

#9 Flight Song (A. Juarez / Fincher) should contend with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and three hearty workouts. This gal loves the distance and the Ruidoso track. Look for her to track the pace and run into a speedy pace. Another daughter of Attila's Storm. she is 62% in the money from thirteen career starts.
