Bellezza will try to earn her third graded stakes victory at 1 3/8 miles in the Grade 3 Robert G. Dick Memorial on Saturday at Delaware Park. The 5-year-old mare has clearly found a specialty since arriving in the United States last year, and trainer Miguel Clement will again try to take advantage on a new turf course. “She’s been amazingly successful going a mile and three-eighths,” Clement said. “She’s top class when right. Blame me for her [sixth in the Grade 3 Orchid at Gulfstream in March]. Hopefully, we fix this and we can see the Bellezza that we were so infatuated with last season.” Bellezza first displayed a fondness for the longer turf distance in her North American debut for Christophe Clement in May 2025, sweeping by as a 10-1 outsider in the Grade 3 Sheepshead Bay at Aqueduct. At the end of a three-race stint at Saratoga, she scored again for Miguel Clement in the Grade 2 Flower Bowl. Clement was naturally inclined to push his luck at Bellezza’s favorite distance in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf, and though she suffered her first defeat at 1 3/8 miles, she was far from disgraced while rallying for sixth after a troubled start. “I thought she ran better than her final time suggested,” Clement said. “It was a tale of the trip.” :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing!

Jaime Rodriguez, who rode her in both victories last year, will take the mount in the field of six at Delaware. Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. said it has been a challenge trying to find the right spot for Dona Clota in three starts this year, but he is not backing away from graded stakes company just yet. Because Dona Clota was keen while going longer in two Grade 3 tries earlier this year, Joseph cut her back to 1 1/8 miles for the Grade 3 Modesty at Churchill Downs last out, but she quickly faded to sixth after pressing the early lead. “She didn’t run anything special, but she ran okay at a distance that was probably too short,” Joseph said. “I was just trying to get her to relax. Hopefully she’ll relax this time, and if she does, she should run well.” Storm Miami might only have two victories in 23 career starts, but she is nevertheless knocking on the door of a graded stakes victory for Amelia Green. Last month, the 5-year-old mare came up three-quarters of a length short in the Sheepshead Bay and will try the same distance at Delaware. Cape Henlopen When trainer Madison Meyers talked about Desvio early last year, she spoke of the gelding like a sort of puzzle. Much has been solved since, and after finishing sixth in the 2025 edition of the $200,000 Cape Henlopen Stakes at Delaware, he will return this year as a far more dangerous contender in the 1 1/2-mile turf race. “We always had it in mind to stretch him out and get him over to the grass,” Meyers said. “He broke his maiden on the dirt, and there was a time where we weren’t sure whether we had a two-turn dirt horse or a two-turn turf horse. We just spent our time sort of slowly stretching him out. Knock on wood, but he’s a very sound horse and he’s easy to train because he gets a lot out of his mornings.” :: Subscribe to the DRF Post Time Email Newsletter: Get the news you need to play today's races!  After stretching out in several starts last summer, the gelding blossomed into a long-distance turf specialist, culminating in a 34-1 upset in the Grade 2 Sycamore at Keeneland in October. He finished third in the Grade 2 Red Smith in November and fired fresh off the bench in April, finishing a distant second to Burnham Square in the Grade 2 Elkhorn. “To come back off almost a six-month layoff and run second to a monster in Burnham Square was really impressive,” Meyers said. “He just seems to relish the distance.” Long before he became a graded stakes contender for Meyers, Desvio showed a clear affinity for the Delaware turf when he won the 2024 edition of the $160,000 Kent in his stakes debut. He will break from the rail in the field of 10 older males. Just a Touch, a five-time runner-up in stakes on dirt for Brad Cox, will make his second career turf start on Saturday. Cox said it has been occasionally frustrating trying to get more out of the 5-year-old, but after a first-level allowance victory on the grass at Keeneland in April, he has another lead to follow. “It’s always been in the back of our mind, based off his pedigree and his physical, that he might be able to handle the grass, and I thought he ran well at Keeneland,” Cox said. Vote No, Freedom’s Way, and Anegada are all coming out of the Grade 3 Louisville at Churchill last month, where they were well beaten by Burnham Square. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
