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.
