Stakes Saturday by the Ocean

A snowy Saturday in Chicago and the Midwest we yearn for some great Turf action near the Pacific.

Del Mar Race 8 {Red Carpet Handicap~G3~1 3/8 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~fillies/mares~Graded Stakes}

A very talented group of eleven will take to the Turf in this featured graded stakes. This race comes up very light on speed which should benefit those with early foot. Speed numbers are fairly close with only four having gone this distance before. It should be a fantastic race.

#5 Trophee [FR] (Graham / Clement) looks ready to make a great move forward with the third highest (tie) last out speed number at a longer Turf route and two robust workouts. This daughter of Mr. Sidney make seek to take up a closer tracking position ready to strike in the stretch.
$2 WIN  /  $3 SHOW.

#6 Star Act (Bejarano / Sherman) should challenge sharing the third highest last out speed number and putting in four stamina producing, peaking workouts. This lass is another that prefers to track the pace, but could be closer with that sharp workout tab. A daughter of Street Cry [IRE] likes the distance and the Del Mar Turf.
$2 SHOW.

#2 Three Hearts (Talamo / Drysdale) should contend with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a two race progression, and four endurance building workouts. She holds the highest speed number at this distance. A daughter of Hat Trick [JPN], she should be tracking the pace with grace.
$2 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest

#4 Beat of the Drum [IRE] (Blanc / Powell) could be in the hunt with the fourth highest last out speed number and three solid peaking workouts. She could show speed from the gate and control the pace on the front end. This daughter of Duke of Marmalade [IRE] will be stretching out to this distance for the first time.
