Leucothea, Powerfulattraction among Desi Arnaz nominees
Emily Shields Leucothea drew off for an 8 1/2-length victory in Sunday's Anoakia Stakes.
The first week of the Del Mar autumn meeting, which begins its four-week run Friday, is the only one without a graded stakes. The richest race this week is Sunday’s $100,000 Desi Arnaz Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at 6 1/2 furlongs.
The race drew 16 nominees, including Leucothea, the easy winner of the Anoakia Stakes at six furlongs on Oct. 13 at Santa Anita, and Powerfulattraction, who was second in the Grade 2 Sorrento Stakes at Del Mar in August and seventh in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante on Aug. 31 in her most recent start.
