7/1/12 BHP Race 6 - Key Race

Sunday's initial race at Del Mar was won by Papa G.T., a two year old Kentucky bred colt, making his first start for a tag after failing to win three times at the MSW level.  Since Dry Summer, another Kentucky bred, had won Saturday's first race at Del Mar, the sixth race at Hollywood Park on July 1 is now officially a key race.


Three other horses in the key race's field of eleven have raced since July 1: Den's Legacy, who took the Place July 21 in race 6 at Del MarNo Rachmones, who dropped into the Maiden Claiming ranks to take the Show in Race 2 at Del Mar on July 19; and Dirty Swagg, the only one of the group to not finish in the money, who came in last in the Grade 3 Hollywood Juvenile Championship on July 14.


The six entrants from the July 1 contest who have yet to come back include that race's top three finishers:  Winner Heir of Storm; Place horse Dead Easy; and Show horse Moreno.  Also yet to come back are Fury KapcoriPerfect Set; and Cinco de Mario.


Peace and Love,


Jimbo
