SMASH the *Thumbs Up* ~ HIT *Subscribe* ~ RING the *Notification* bell The track press release: The South American mare Blue Stripe tracked a pair of leaders early, then went on by at the head of the stretch to register and impressive length and three-quarters triumph in the $400,000 Grade I Clement L. Hirsch Stakes Saturday at Del Mar. The 5-year-old by the Argentinian stallion Equal Stripes out of an Argentinian mare named Blues for Sale ran the mile and one-sixteenth on dirt in 1:42.97 under jockey Hector Berrios. She now shows two firsts and a second this year in stakes company under the training of Marcelo Polanco after she failed to make a dent in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff field last November at Del Mar. Finishing second in the headliner was H & E Ranch’s Desert Dawn, who closed late to prove a head better than the race favorite, Flurry Racing Stables, et al’s Shedaresthedevil, who went off at 4-5. By winning the Hirsch, Blue Stripe becomes a “Win and You’re In” victress and an automatic entrant – with all fees paid – to this year’s $2-million Breeders’ Cup Longines Distaff, which will be run at Keeneland in November. Blue Stripe was a Group I winner in her native land in 2021, but the Hirsch was her first Grade I stateside tally. She now has six wins in 10 starts and with her $240,000 winner’s share of today’s purse she pushed her earnings mark to $461,882. Berrios, who is new to the Southern California racing circuit this season, was riding the bay mare for the first time. Fractions for the race were :23.18, :46.82, 1:11.42 and 1:36.59. The winner paid $12.60, $6.00 and $2.60. Desert Dawn returned $6.20 and $2.40, while Shedarethedevil paid $2.10 to show. HECTOR BERRIOS (Blue Stripe, winner) – “The race went exactly as we planned it. We wanted to sit behind the speed horses, then go get them late. She was running all the way. She was running well. Went we went past the half-mile (pole), we picked it up. She ran really well. She can run farther, too. I think she wants to run farther.” MARCELO POLANCO (Blue Stripe, winner) – “We talked about where she’s going to be because they scratched two horses and we had to change a little bit. We had her a little closer than we had before. Lucky everything worked. You know where we’re going…Kenneland.” FRACTIONS: :23.18 :46.82 1:11.42 1:36.59 1:42.97 The stakes win was the second of the meet for rider Berrios, but his first in the Clement L. Hirsch. He now has three stakes wins at Del Mar. The stakes win was the second of the meet for trainer Polanco, but his first in the Clement L. Hirsch. He now has five stakes wins at Del Mar. The winning owners are Pozo de Luna, headed by Jose Cerillo of Lomas de Chapulpepec, Mexico.
