The Kathryn Crosby will go as Race 7 on the nine-race card with a first post of 12:30 p.m. The stakes should go off at approximately 3:30 p.m. 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 Three Hall of Fame trainers have entered horses in the race and they must all be respected. Richard Mandella has the Arrogate filly Linda’s Gift, owned by Cronin, DiMaraco or Mandara, et al, in the test and she’ll be ridden by her regular rider of late in Tiago Pereira. Neil Drysdale brings in the comebacking Nadette for Team Valor International and will partner her with Hector Berrios. Also, Bob Baffert will saddle the Baoma Corp’s Ganadora (with Juan Hernandez aboard) and Magnier, Smith or Tabor’s Lucky for You, an Uncle Mo offspring who’ll be handled by Kyle Frey. But the filly they’ll all have to beat according to Del Mar’s morning line maker Jon White is Madaket Stables, Dubb or LaPenta, et al’s Dolce Zel, who races out of the Phil D’Amato barn and gets top rider Flavien Prat. White has hung her the 5/2 favorite in the lineup even though she hasn’t raced since last December. The French-bred daughter of the stallion Zelzai had been running – and running well – in graded stakes company back east for trainer Chad Brown, winning twice and placing three other times. Her last out was at Del Mar in the Matriarch Stakes last December 4 where she went unplaced. D’Amato, who has had a special touch with his turf horses, has been prepping Dolce Zel steadily for this return and she appears to hold a class edge over her rivals in the overnight. Here are the remaining runners in the field: Richard Pell’s Free and Humble, the lone 3-year-old in the bunch, who’ll get the saddle services of Mike Smith Luedtke, Oracheff or Oracheff’s Very Scary (Kent Desormeaux) Abbondanza Racing and Medallion Racing’s Tunerloose (Antonio Fresu) Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners’ Yerwanthere (Umberto Rispoli) Join the Inner Circle Sign up for exclusive 10% discount on orders, plus be the first to access our daily free and premium horse racing picks, articles, podcasts, and more!
