Free: Del Mar horses to watch for week of Aug. 1
LUMINANCE
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: July 27, 3rd
Finish: 1st by 1 1/2
Beyer: 97
This sprint filly scored a smashing allowance win second start back from a layoff. She was off slowly from the rail, zoomed inside to duel, gone. Better-than-looked win. Ready to return to stakes.
SUMMERTIMEMISCHIEF
Trainer: Kathy Walsh
Last race: July 27, 5th
Finish: 5th by 7 1/2
Beyer: 67
A 3-year-old maiden, she is racing into shape. Stretching out from a blah debut, she lost ground, followed the eventual winner, lost her punch in the lane. Good effort. Upset potential next out.
WITH HONORS
Trainer: Keith Desormeaux
Last race: July 29, 4th
Finish: 1st by 1/2
Beyer: 66
A first-time starter in a turf route, this War Front 2-year-old filly ran better than the line shows. Set pace, took pressure, opened up, held, galloped out well. Stakes next. Sky is the limit.
BLAME JOE
Trainer: Kristin Mulhall
Last race: July 30, 3rd
Finish: 3rd by 5 3/4
Beyer: 60
This 2-year-old debut colt got bumped early, shuffled, and finished with run in a promising debut. By Blame out of stakes-winning route mare, Blame Joe can improve with longer distance.
UNION STRIKE
Trainer: Shelbe Ruis
Last race: July 31, 3rd
Finish: 2nd by 2
Beyer: 69
This highly regarded 2-year-old filly by Union Rags broke slowly, inched closer, and narrowed the gap late in a solid debut. She may have more speed than she showed. Double-tough next out.
