DEL MAR, Calif. – Fresh off a victory with Amalfi Sunrise in the Sorrento Stakes for 2-year-old fillies last Saturday, trainer Simon Callaghan will try to add the Grade 2, $200,000 Best Pal Stakes for 2-year-olds this Saturday at Del Mar with Schrodinger, who like Amalfi Sunrise makes his stakes debut following a first-out win against maidens.

Schrodinger was 2-5 when he beat five rivals at Los Alamitos going five furlongs on June 30. The Best Pal is at six furlongs.

Schrodinger, a colt by Justin Phillip, was a $550,000 purchase by owner Kaleem Shah at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company’s auction in March.

Others expected for the Best Pal include Collusion Illusion, Fore Left, Phantom Boss, Raging Whiskey, and Thanks Mr. Eidson.

Both Schrodinger and Phantom Boss – who is trained by Jorge Periban – tuned up for the Best Pal on Saturday with half-mile works. Schrodinger went in 50 seconds, Phantom Boss in 48.80 seconds. Collusion Illusion worked five furlongs on Saturday in 1:00.60.

Thanks Mr. Eidson worked four furlongs on Monday in 48.60 seconds for trainer Jeff Bonde.
