HORSES TO WATCH

DEL MAR STONEGATE

Trainer: John Sadler Last race: Aug. 1, 1st Finish: 5th by 8 1/4 Beyer: 65

A lightly raced 3-year-old, he had no chance in this maiden dirt route. Bobbled at the start, four and five wide throughout, faded. This race was a complete toss.

OVER THINKING

Trainer: Victoria Oliver Last race: Aug. 1, 6th Finish: 4th by 3 Beyer: 88

A Kentucky-based 3-year-old filly making her California debut vs. older males in a turf marathon, she ran well with a ground-saving trip. Tough next out vs. 3-year-old fillies.

MRAZEK

Trainer: Doug O’Neill Last race: Aug. 2, 7th Finish: 5th by 2 Beyer: 83 First start in nearly two years, this Calbred stakes winner pressed a sizzling pace and did not tire until deep stretch in this second-level-allowance turf sprint. This was a sharp comeback.

SEA SENSATION

Trainer: Jim Cassidy Last race: Aug. 3, 5th Finish: 5th by 2 3/4 Beyer: 68

Favored to win this starter-allowance turf mile, this improving 3-year-old Cal-bred filly was caught four wide from start to finish. She can be followed in a similar two-turn grass race.

FLAGSTAFF

Trainer: John Sadler Last race: Aug. 4, 9th Finish: 3rd by 3/4 Beyer: 92 Racing over a track that seemed to favor the inside, this first-level-allowance sprinter was caught four and five wide throughout. He ran a winning race in defeat.

WOODBINE BOHEMIAN QUEEN

Trainer: Sid Attard Last race: Aug. 6, 2nd Finish: 1st by 1/2 Beyer: 56

She came charging between rivals in late stretch to land her debut in a seven-furlong maiden special for 2-year-olds. The daughter of Animal Kingdom and Grade 1 winner Life At Ten is bred to run long.

SAV

Trainer: Keith Edwards Last race: Aug. 4, 7th Finish: 2nd by 1 3/4 Beyer: 64 She was a clear second behind the gifted Tiz Breathtaking in the Shady Well Stakes. She should be among the favorites in the $175,000 Muskoka Stakes for graduates of local yearling sales Aug. 29.

SOEXOTIC

Trainer: Greg Cox Last race: Aug. 3, 5th Finish: 4th by 5 Beyer: 47 In a one-mile turf route, she was forced out wide on the turn before regrouping to end up fourth behind three rivals who avoided all the trouble along the inside. – Ron Gierkink
