Del Mar Ready For Bing Crosby Season Friday

Entries were drawn Tuesday for the eight-race Friday card that kicks off the 13-day Bing Crosby Season at Del Mar, the track said in a release Wednesday afternoon.

This year's stakes schedule is very similar to last year. Out of 15, nine are graded. Over $2 million in purse money will be up for grabs over the course of the four-week meet, including the GI Hollywood Derby on Saturday, Dec. 2 and the GI Matriarch S. on Sunday, Dec. 3.

“Where we're laid out on the calendar is perfect,” Del Mar racing secretary David Jerkens said. “Mark Casse is sending a small string. Graham Motion. Wesley Ward has a few horses here. Obviously, the Breeders' Cup has just wrapped up but based on past history we've received quite a bit of an influx from the Chad Brown and Christophe Clement barns back east.”

4th-Aqueduct, $85,000, Msw, 11-5, 3yo/up, f/m, 1 1/16mT, 1:42.89, fm, 3 1/4 lengths.
DELAHAYE (f, 3, Medaglia d'Oro–Bella Carina, by War Front) was last seen missing by a neck on debut in February at Gulfstream Park. Rewarded as the 3-5 choice here, the dark bay was taken back into second along the rail as she passed the grandstand, waited for her cue around the far turn and she powered past War Princess (War Front) to triumphantly return to the races. Her unraced dam's first progeny, the winner has a yearling half-brother by Not This Time and an April half-brother by Gun Runner. Not bred for next year, Bella Carina counts as half-siblings MGSW Valid (Medaglia d'Oro) and GI Ruffian Invitational H. victress Malibu Prayer (Malibu Moon), who herself produced $1.2 million Keeneland September buy from last year Cartucho (Gun Runner). Under Delahaye's third dam we find GI Carter H. hero Swagger Jack (Smart Strike) and his older half-sister GSW Tap Dance (Pleasant Tap). Sales History: $550,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $61,450. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.

SAN PANTALEO (f, 2, Demarchelier {GB}–Treasured, by Arch) debuted in eighth place sprinting over the grass at Saratoga July 20 before being installed as a 9-1 shot here. After breaking sharply, the bay filly set the pace, continued to hold that position around the far turn and flashed even more speed to graduate by 2 1/2 lengths over late running Curlin's Girl (Curlin). Treasured, who sold for $20,000 at Keeneland November in 2021 carrying a full-brother to the winner, was bred back to Happy Saver. San Pantaleo is the 10th winner for her Freshman sire (by Dubawi).
