Analysis and most important contenders:
Nysos The Pacific Classic comes in top form after a dominant version in the San Diego Handicap under a hand ride of Jockey Flavien Prat. The Nyquist foal was put offside for 15 months with an injury after three consecutive victories to start his career. Nysos came back in the grade 1 Churchill Downs Stakes presented by Ford in May and ended up in a dead heat for the second, a neck behind winner Mindframe, who then started winning the 1 Stephen Foster Stakes grade. Nysos and Banishing (who finished second with Nysos in the Churchill Downs Stakes Dead Heat) both won after that racing grade 2 races. Book’em Danno finished fourth in the Churchill Downs Stakes and has won 3 True North, Grade 2 Alfred G. Vanderbilt and Grade 1 Stakes grade. Nysos checks all the boxes, which are first arranged in the first, middle and late tempo rating and an average class of 113 and an average Equibasal speed rating of 111. He earned a 117 figure for his 5 ½ length victory in the Triple Bend in May, which is tied for the highest speed figure earned by each horse in the Pacific Classic. This foal can win at the front or can come from the pace, and he seems to remain unbeaten on the main job of Del Mar. He succeeded in the San Diego last time for the two-turn test and a three-side of a mile that extends in distance, should not be a problem for this ultra-talented foal.
JournalismPerhaps the second best 3-year-old man in the country is back at the location of his first victory after breaking his girl here in del Mar with 2 ½ lengths. After a burdensome three -way crown season, the Curllin foal came in good shape to finish second in the sovereignty in the Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve, first in the preaksness stakes, and another second for sovereignty in the Belmont stakes presented. Journalism won the NYRA bets Haskell Stakes last time in its first start and earned A109 Equibase Speed figure for trainer Michael McCarthy. This horse is incredibly talented and should not be on tickets for this race.
Indispensable is a very intriguing constitution foal for the John Sadler stable with Lopez who makes the journey to the West, which is rare because he has only four mounts in the past five years in Del Mar. Lopez will also be on board on board the intrigues for the first time on board. Sadler and Lopez have only one start together in the past five years, which is a seven-length victory with Hey Nay Nay in Monmouth in the Tyro Stakes at the beginning of August. The money is 100% in the money in Del Mar, with two wins, two seconds and a third in his five starts. This foal could pay nicely at the bottom with all eyes on the big three.
The rest of the field (with the best Equibase -speed figure in similar varieties): Fiercess (117), Midnight Mammoth (108), Ultimate Gamble (112), lures him in (108), Tarantino (103)
