Furlong Friday along the Surf

On this Furlong Friday we take in a sweet Turf sprint near the Pacific.

Del Mar Race 7 {Green Flash Stakes~5 Furlongs~TURF~3 year-old Up~Stakes}

A sprinty field of eight will cantor over to the grass in this money event. There is Speed O' Plenty which could boil over. Speed numbers for the top contenders are very close. The rest are giving it a shot. It should be a very fine race.

#1 Richard's Boy (Gaffalione / Miller) is coming off a reasonable layoff after a trip to Dubai where he finished sixth in a high level sprint. This guy shows the second highest speed number at the distance and has put in five top level workouts prepping for his return to the green. A son of Idiot Proof, he has the speed to stay with the leaders.
$2 WIN  /  $3 SHOW.

#7 Pee Wee Reese (Talamo / D'Amato) could be the speed of the speed with the third highest last out speed number and two peaking bullet workouts. He holds the highest speed number over the Turf. A son of Tribal Rule, he has a solid 75% in the money record from twelve career starts.

#3 Tribalist (T. Baze / Heap) should challenge with highest (tie) last out speed number and two solid workouts. He has the tactical speed to embrace whatever speed situation develops. Another son of Tribal Rule, he is a remarkable 90% in the money from ten career starts.

#2 Stormy Liberal (Van Dyke / Miller) has been running lights out as of late and should go off as the favorite. He shares the highest last out speed number and has put in three strong workouts. A son of Stormy Atlantic, he could sit off the speed and come a running into the stretch.
