Wide-Open Lineup Of Seven Fillies Entered For Friday’s Sorrento

In what appears to be a wide-open edition of the Grade II, $150,000 Sorrento Stakes at Del Mar, seven fillies will face starter Jay Slender Friday for a six-furlong tussle that will reward the one home first with a nice payday, a chunk of black type and a leg up toward the meet's top prize for 2-year-old distaff runners — the $250,000, Grade I Del Mar Debutante on Sunday, September 6.

The 52nd running of the race features a trio of local juveniles who all scored their maiden victories last out; a trio of out-of-town runners who also scored their maiden victories last out, and a first-time starter who drew a big price at a 2-year-olds in training sale and has been working steadily toward her debut.

Here's the lineup from the rail out with riders:

Reddam Racing's Get On the Bus, Mario Gutierrez up; Kagele or Shaw's September Secret, Abel Cedillo; Tricar Stables' Exchange Vows, Assael Espinoza; Erich Brehm's My Girl Red, Flavien Prat; Chapman or Tsujimoto's Trip to Seoul, Edwin Maldonado; Chapman or Biddinger's Scaterra, Umberto Rispoli, and Chapman Or Tsujimoto's Scat's Choice, J.C. Diaz, Jr.

The three locals have the benefit of both experience and a feel for the Del Mar strip. In September Secret's case that is especially so in that she won a $50,000 maiden-claiming race at the shore oval on July 24 and now is wheeled back just over two weeks later for her stakes debut. She's a California-bred by Grazen and is trained by Peter Miller.

My Girl Red, bred by her owner and sired by Texas Red, a horse Keith Desormeaux – My Girl Red's conditioner – also trained, comes off a four and a half-length score at Santa Anita in a straight maiden race on June 14. Leading rider Flavien Prat chooses to stay with her for her stakes debut.

Exchange Vows won by three in a $50,000 maiden-claimer at Los Alamitos on July 2. She's turned in three five-furlong works at Del Mar since.

The trio of out-of-towners are part-owned and trained by James Chapman. Trip to Seoul scored her first victory at Mountaineer Park in West Virginia; Scaterra broke through in her first attempt at Arlington Park outside Chicago, and Scat's Choice was a winner at Belterra Park in Cincinnati.

The first-timer fetched $340,000 at the Ocala Breeders' Sale in March after working an eighth of a mile in :10.1. She's by the top stallion Uncle Mo and has had a series of steady works for his stakes – and racing – bow.

First Winner For Crestwood Farm’s Texas Red Comes At Santa Anita

My Girl Red's front-running score in a Santa Anita Park maiden special weight on June 14 marked the first winner for her sire, Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Texas Red.

Racing as a homebred for Erich Brehm, My Girl Red completed the 4 1/2-furlong race in :52.90 seconds under jockey Flavien Prat. She was trained by Keith Desormeaux, who also conditioned Texas Red for an ownership group that included Brehm.

My Girl Red is out of the stakes-placed Fusaichi Pegasus mare Morakami, who Brehm purchased for $21,000 at the 2017 Keeneland January Horses of All Ages Sale to be part of Texas Red's first book of mares.

Texas Red, an 8-year-old son of Afleet Alex, stands at Crestwood Farm in Lexington, Ky., for an advertised fee of $10,000.

He is best known for his 6 1/2-length triumph in the 2014 Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita, which earned him a spot as an Eclipse Award finalist as champion 2-year-old male, ultimately finishing behind American Pharoah.

Texas Red won three of nine starts during his on-track career for earnings of $1,767,300. In addition to his Breeders' Cup score, he won the Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stakes as a 3-year-old, and earned in-the-money efforts in the G1 FrontRunner Stakes, G2 San Vicente Stakes, and G3 Dwyer Stakes.

Bred in Kentucky by Stonestreet Thoroughbred Holdings, Texas Red is out of the Chilean-born stakes-winning Jeune Homme mare Ramatuelle. His extended family includes Chilean champion Nuevo Maestro and Argentine champion Le Ken.

Texas Red’s Connections Send Out His First Winner at Santa Anita

MY GIRL RED (f, 2, Texas Red–Morakami {SP, $145,432}, by Fusaichi Pegasus), sent off at 2-1 for the same connections that campaigned her sire (by Afleet Alex) to victories in the 2014 GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and 2015 GII Jim Dandy S., became the freshman’s first winner with a sharp showing at Santa Anita Sunday. Sharp from the blocks, the bay dueled along the fence with a longshot early before shaking loose at the top of the stretch. She ran up the score from there, streaking away to don cap and gown by five good-looking lengths. Favored Miss Baylee (Dominus) finished well to be second. The winner’s stakes-placed dam was purchased by Erich Brehm for just $21,000 at Keeneland January in 2017 carrying a Street Boss colt who would eventually become Gold Street (Street Boss), MSW, $229,468. My Girl Red is also half to Over Thinking (Overanalyze), SP, $241,081; and Oh Marvelous Me (Bluegrass Cat), GSP, $201,798. Her second dam is MSW Astrid (Concern). Morakami produced another Texas Red filly in 2019 and a Kitten’s Joy filly May 5. Sales history: $70,000 RNA ylg ’19 OBSOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.
