What the Nation is saying about the 2010 Best Pal Stakes (G2)...

Wednesday’s pick six from Del Mar includes a carryover of more than $178,000. The feature race is the Real Good Deal Stakes for CA-bred or sired 3-year-olds traveling seven furlongs on Polytrack. Morning line favorite Goggles McCoy looms an elusive target. Partly cloudy skies are expected with a hig...Read More
Jockey Patrick Valenzuela, competing in California for the first time since December of 2007, won his first Del Mar stakes race in five years as he guided J P's Gusto to a front-running triumph in the featured $150,000 Best Pal Stakes for two-year-olds Sunday.   Ironically, Valenzuela was the r...Read More
Sunday’s pick six from Del Mar includes the Grade 2 Best Pal Stakes for 2-year-olds traveling six one one-half furlongs on Polytrack. J P’s Gusto is the 2-1 morning line favorite but is stuck down on the rail and will not offer much value. Western Mood could be sitting on ready in his 3rd career sta...Read More

  • cugel the clever · Z beats a bunch of nobodies by a short head in Standardbred time (1:45+ for 8 1/2 furlongs). What a farce. Most NW3/L have better fields than this. Will be interesting to see how honest is the Beyer figure for this race. No way it should be over 90. · 1019 days ago ·

Sway Away, a 2-year-old son of 2005 Preakness and Belmont Stakes winner Afleet Alex, is something of a question-mark colt coming into Sunday's 40th edition of the Grade II, $150,000 Best Pal Stakes.   The obvious question: Can a colt that broke his maiden at Pleasanton manage the jump into gra...Read More
A confident David Hofmans was a happy trainer this morning following prized 2-year-old J P's Gusto's sharp workout on Monday. The winner of Hollywood Park's Willard Proctor Memorial Stakes and the Grade III Hollywood Juvenile Championship is expected to be one of the favorites for the Grade II, $15...Read More
