Bookies Luck, Spiced Perfection to run in front of Breeders' Cup crowds

DEL MAR, Calif. – Bookies Luck and Spiced Perfection, the winners of stakes for California-bred 2-year-olds in the last week, will be pointed for statebred stakes at Del Mar on Breeders’ Cup weekend, their trainers said.

Bookies Luck won Friday’s $100,345 I’m Smokin Stakes at six furlongs by 3 1/4 lengths for his second win in five starts, all for owners and breeders Larry and Marianne Williams and trainer Jeff Bonde. Bookies Luck will be pointed for the $200,000 Golden State Juvenile at seven furlongs on Nov. 4, Bonde said.

Spiced Perfection is expected to run Nov. 3 in the $200,000 Golden State Juvenile Fillies at seven furlongs. She won the $98,000 Generous Portion Stakes last Wednesday for Dare to Dream Stables and trainer Brian Koriner.

◗ Monday’s 10-race program is the final card of the Del Mar summer meeting. Two other tracks will operate Thoroughbred meetings in Southern California this month. The Los Angeles County Fair meeting at Los Alamitos begins Thursday and runs through Sept. 24. The 12-day season runs Thursdays through Sundays.

The Santa Anita autumn meeting runs Sept. 29 through Oct. 29. The Sept. 30 program has five Grade 1 stakes that are preps for Breeders’ Cup races at Del Mar on Nov. 3-4.
