CONTRARY CHIEFTAIN Trainer: Librado Barocio Last race: Nov. 28, 2nd Finish: 2nd by 1/2 Beyer: 62 Favored in $5,000 claiming route, but stumbled and lost position. He rallied, missed, and was best. Re-claimed by Barocio from Tim McCanna, fits in low-level claiming route. MONDEGO  Trainer: Michael McCarthy  Last race: Nov. 28, 7th  Finish: 7th by 5 1/4 Beyer: 86  Outside post and wide trip foiled gelding in G2 turf marathon. Three- and four-wide start to finish, never had a chance. This race was much better than it looks on paper.  EL POTENTE Trainer: Dan Blacker Last race: Nov. 29, 5th Finish: 3rd by 1/2 Beyer: 93 Off nearly 10 months, veteran set pace to deep stretch in Grade 2 turf at a mile and a sixteenth. Solid comeback, will be fitter next out, and should benefit by turnback to one mile. TEST SCORE Trainer: Graham Motion Last race: Nov. 29, 9th Finish: 3rd by 1/2 Beyer: 84 Odds-on in G1 Hollywood Derby, unable to find clear path in stretch, waited, kicked too late, possibly best. 'Score' on his way to becoming a top older turf horse in 2026. :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing! DRF Past Performances and Picks are available now. SPEEDY WILSON Trainer: Phil D’Amato Last race: Nov. 29, 10th Finish: 1st by 1 1/2 Beyer: 85 Slow start from rail no big deal in N1X sprint. Off last, lost ground rallying wide, won going away, his fourth straight win in dirt sprint. Cal-bred stakes winner never better. LEFT HAND MAN  Trainer: Peter Miller Last race: Nov. 30, 1st Finish: 7th by 5 1/2 Beyer: 66 Older gelding ran below par in Cal-bred turf allowance. Second straight turf misfire by the dirt specialist. He has won 4 of 11 on dirt, fits vs. Cal-bred long on dirt only. TEAM PLAYER  Trainer: Ryan Hanson Last race: Nov. 30, 2nd Finish: 1st by 1 3/4 Beyer: 83 Second-start 2-year-old maiden shortened to sprint, improved speed, rallied wide, ran away. Proved he can route in runner-up debut, fits in upcoming Cal-bred route stakes. INFINITUM Trainer: Mark Glatt Last race: Nov. 30, 2nd Finish: 2nd by 1 3/4 Beyer: 78 Debut 2-year-old not quick, two-wide, finished willingly, galloped out alongside the winner in promising debut. Gelding by Grazen is sibling to turf stakes winner Aligato. SIMPLY JOKING Trainer: Michael McCarthy Last race: Nov. 30, 8th Finish: 2nd by 6 3/4 Beyer: 82 Improved second start back by 3-year-old filly in Grade 3 route. Set pace, tired, could be a contender in seven-furlong Grade 1 La Brea Stakes on Dec. 26 at Santa Anita. RIO GRANDE Trainer: Bob Baffert Last race: Nov. 30, 9th Finish: 2nd by 4 1/2 Beyer: 69 Stretch-out 2-year-old colt broke slow in maiden turf route, rationed speed while far back, finished willingly in race that was only an educational prep. He is getting better. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
