Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf Analysis
Madonna of Loreto was an also-eligible scratch on Sept. 6. She stalked the pace and split an 8-horse field in her local turf sprint bow on Aug. 1 and the runner-up was a next-out winner. Phil D’Amato shows a profit with his first route starts and with second timers, and the $175k purchase is an interesting player under profitable turf rider Armando Ayuso.
Thought Process was a clear third in her local dirt sprint bow. She was 7-1 that day, and she smartly won as the favorite in a turf route second time out. Hector Berrios stays put and he wins races with Phil D’Amato, and this rider shows a profit on turf.
Fondest Dream beat seven rivals in her 5 1/2 furlong turf debut in Great Britain and the runner-up was a next-out winner. Richard Baltas has her now and Antonio Fresu takes the call, and she fired a local turf bullet for this on Aug. 25.
Casalu easily went all the way as the heavy favorite in her local dirt sprint bow, and chased the pace and weakened to 3rd of 4 in the Grade 3 Sorrento on Aug. 10. Dam has tossed a turf winner and she is probably the one to catch, but Bob Baffert does not have strong stats with his first turf starters.
Supa Speed chased from second and scored by 1 1/2 lengths at 3-1 odds in her local turf sprint on Aug. 1. The $460k Justify filly has all-Triple Crown breeding with American Pharoah as the dam sire. Juan Hernandez takes the call and he wins races with this outfit.
Sea Runner was the favorite in her turf route bow and she stalked the pace and landed the show. Umberto Rispoli stays put and dam has tossed two turf winners, and Tim Yakteen has good stats with his non-graded stakes starters.
