Del Mar
Enterprising possible for La Jolla
Benoit & Associates Enterprising wins the Oceanside on Thursday's opening-day card at Del Mar.
DEL MAR, Calif. – Oceanside winner Enterprising will have two or three starts at the Del Mar meeting, trainer Tom Proctor said on Friday. The $300,000 Del Mar Derby at 1 1/8 miles on turf on Aug. 31 is a likely spot, but Proctor has not ruled out a start in the $150,000 La Jolla Handicap at 1 1/16 miles on turf on Aug. 9.
“We’ll see how he comes out of it,” Proctor said. “I could wheel him back in the La Jolla or wait.”
Owned by Glen Hill Farm, Enterprising has won 4 of 8 starts and earned $244,650. During the Santa Anita winter-spring meeting, Enterprising won the Eddie Logan Stakes in December and the Pasadena Stakes in March.
The Oceanside was Enterprising’s first start since finishing third in the La Puente in April.
