Race Previews Del Mar Picks | Yellow Ribbon Handicap 2024 August 9, 2024 Anisette (Lindsay Affleck) Race Previews Del Mar Picks | Yellow Ribbon Handicap 2024 August 9, 2024 By: Press Release email Share: share on facebook share on twitter share on linkedin email this article One of the class acts of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club racing season – the multiple-stakes winner Anisette – will strut her stuff at the seaside oval Saturday in the 72nd edition of the Yellow Ribbon Handicap, a Grade II feature that carries a $200,000 purse. Also on the agenda for the 10-race card is the 56th running of the Sorrento Stakes, a Grade III test for 2-year-old fillies that offers a $150,000 purse. The Yellow Ribbon goes as Race 8 (approximate 5:30 p.m. post) and the Sorrento as Race 5 (approximate 4 p.m. post). Del Mar Full Card Plays Available Now There’s a reason we’re the #1 trusted source for premium racing picks & info. Find Out Why There are five older mares willing to take on the 4-year-old Anisette in the mile and one sixteenth turf test that is the Yellow Ribbon. The race favorite has been assigned topweight of 126 pounds and will spot her rivals from six to nine pounds in the weights. Anisette, a 4-year-old British-bred filly by the Irish stallion Awtaad, has been handled in fine fashion by the Frenchman Leonard Powell, who trains her for Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. The conditioner has nicely spotted his charge for seven starts stateside over the past two years, coming away a winner in five of them and running second in the other two. Six of those races were Graded stakes, including triumphs in a pair of Grade 1 features last December (American Oaks) and this May (Gamely Stakes) at Santa Anita. She’s now won $796,871 in purses. Powell has prepped her steadily for the Yellow Ribbon and once again has the saddle services of Umberto Rispoli for her Saturday saunter at Del Mar. Chief threat to the top one – who has drawn a stout 3/5 assessment in the morning line – appears to be the Australian mare Uncorked, who races for the Elkstone Group and runs out of the barn of Phil D’Amato. Antonio Fresu has the call on the Aussie-bred daughter of Pierro.
