Free: Del Mar Horses to Watch for the week of Aug. 10

KRISTI’S COPILOT

Trainer: Marty Jones
Last race: Aug. 6, 3rd
Finish: 5th by 4 3/4
Beyer: 68
First start in a year, this Cal-bred N1X colt broke in the air and was away last, and then finished steadily in the lane. This was on turf; he handles either surface. Good comeback.

SADIE CLARE

Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: Aug. 7, 4th
Finish: 1st by 3/4
Beyer: 65
This Cal-bred maiden broke last from the rail, spotted her rivals 10 lengths, then somehow rallied to win more impressively than the Beyer Figure would indicate. She needs to learn to break.

SWIPE

Trainer: Keith Desormeaux
Last race: Aug. 8, 5th
Finish: 2nd by 4 1/4
Beyer: 77
Compromised by slow fractions in a Grade 2, this 2-year-old colt was hard-held early, then finished evenly in a race that set up wrong. Upset candidate in Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity on Sept. 7?

FOUND MONEY

Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: Aug. 8, 5th
Finish: 5th by 11 1/2
Beyer: 62
A post-race exam revealed this 2-year-old colt was sick; lungs full of mucus. He set the pace in a Grade 2 and faded to fifth. He can rebound Sept. 4 in $150,000 I’m Smokin Stakes for Cal-breds.

UNFORGETTABLE U

Trainer: Richard Baltas
Last race: Aug. 9, 3rd
Finish: 2nd by nose
Beyer: 95
Much improved since moving to Baltas, this N2X sprint filly ran too good to lose. She set the pace, got collared by the favorites, and finished more than six lengths clear of third.
