Free: Los Alamitos horses to watch for week of July 1, 2019
BELLA RENELLA
Trainer: Rafael DeLeon
Last race: June 29, 2nd
Finish: 3rd by 1 1/2
Beyer: 57
A 2-year-old first-time starter, this Clubhouse Ride filly ran well. Void of speed, trailed field, took hold late, and finished super. She wants a longer distance than five furlongs.
MUCHOS BESOS
Trainer: Javier Sierra
Last race: June 29, 6th
Finish: 3rd by 4
Beyer: 74
This 10-year-old ran super in starter allowance. Dueled on fast pace, loomed, tired. Could be tough if wheels back closing weekend at Los Al, but he is winless 14 starts at Del Mar.
BIRD IS THE WORD
Trainer: Steve Miyadi
Last race: June 29, 7th
Finish: 5th by 10
Beyer: 65
Circumstances were against this late-runner in race dominated by the pacesetter. Claimed for $16,000 by Miyadi, he looms an off-the-pace longshot contender next time vs. similar.
SCHRODINGER
Trainer: Simon Callaghan
Last race: June 30, 5th
Finish: 1st by 1 1/4
Beyer: 69
Odds-on first out, this smooth-striding 2-year-old colt settled off the pace, made the lead, and won with plenty left. Loads of potential. Likely for Grade 2 Best Pal Aug. 10 at Del Mar.
VERIFIED
Trainer: Keith Desormeaux
Last race: June 30, 5th
Finish: 2nd by 1 1/4
Beyer: 65
Like many from this stable, this 2-year-old improved a ton second out while finishing eight lengths clear of third. Improving colt can run next in maiden race or stakes.
