Free: Del Mar horses to watch for week of Nov. 14, 2018
CLYDE’S PRIDE
Trainer: Jerry Hollendorfer
Last race: Nov. 9, 6th
Finish: 1st by 7 1/2
Beyer: 86
First start since June and first since transferring to Hollendorfer, this maiden gelding set a fast pace and romped. Will be tough to beat next out in a California-bred allowance sprint.
SWEET CHARITY
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: Nov. 9, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 85
A graded stakes-placed turf mare returning from an eight-month layoff, she produced a strong finishing kick in this minor stakes race. Sharp comeback, improvement likely next out.
TRUFFALINO
Trainer: Richard Mandella
Last race: Nov. 10, 5th
Finish: 5th by 7 1/4
Beyer: 63
This 2-year-old filly made her career debut in a turf route and ran well. She lacked speed, trailed the field, finished strongly and galloped out big. One to follow.
CHOO CHOO
Trainer: Jerry Hollendorfer
Last race: Nov. 10, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 3/4
Beyer: 86
First start in six months and cold in the betting, this comebacking stakes winner rallied smartly along the inside in a restricted stakes race for 3-year-olds. This was a strong prep.
SHYLOCK EDDIE
Trainer: Brian Koriner
Last race: Nov. 11, 9th
Finish: 4th by 1/2
Beyer: 77
This filly had a tough trip in a Cal-bred allowance turf sprint. She was blocked behind runners from the quarter pole to deep stretch and never had a chance. She might have been best.
GIA LULA
Trainer: Mark Glatt
Last race: Nov. 12, 4th
Finish: 3rd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 58
A pace battle from the inside post over a track that favored outside lanes compromised this $20,000 maiden-claiming filly. Dueled, shook off her rivals, was worn down. Next time.
