Also included below: my 11-race preview of Del Mar and my 8-race preview of Woodbine. Best of luck! ( Content Continues Below Ad ) Race 8: $62.5k Optional Claiming for 3-year-olds and upward going 1 1/8 miles (9 furlongs) on the dirt #1A Money Moves absolutely dominated his first 2 career starts and comes paired with his graded stakes-winning stablemate #1 You’re to Blame. #3 Parsimony gets class relief after facing Improbable and Tacitus in his last 2 starts. #5 I Love Jaxson should look vastly improved second off of the layoff. #6 Prioritize has finished in the money in 7 of his 12 career starts. #7 Leitone is one of the few runners who has performed well after leaving Jason Servis’ barn/pharmacy and runs first off the claim for new trainer Oscar Barrera III. Race 9: Allowance for New York-bred 3-year-olds and upward going 1 1/16 miles (8 1/2 furlongs) on the outer turf #3 Simply returns to routing after running out of time in a sprint last month. #4 Barleewon finally borke his maiden at fifth asking last time out and could take another step forward if the lightbulb turned on. #7 Mo Ready returns to the track for the first time since last December and should finally catch a firm turf course, something that has evaded him in his last 2 starts. #12 Stanhope makes his first start for new trainer Brad Cox (a 24% move) in his 2020 debut. Race 10: Vanderbilt Handicap (G1) for 3-year-olds and upward going 6 furlongs on the dirt #2 Whitmore is extremely consistent and won the local Forego Stakes (G1) in 2018. #4 Volatile has won his last 3 starts by open lengths and could establish himself as the sprint division leader with another impressive vitory here.
