Maiden winners target Labor Day weekend stakes

DEL MAR, Calif. – The recent 2-year-old turf maiden winners Arcature, Hollywood Don, and Imflatoutsweet are likely to resurface in $100,000 stakes on Labor Day weekend.

Imflatoutsweet won a one-mile race for fillies Thursday in her first start on turf. She is a candidate for the Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf at a mile Sept. 7. Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said he hopes the race will lead to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Keeneland on Oct. 30.

The colts Arcature and Hollywood Don won divisions of one-mile maiden races Wednesday and are likely to meet in the $100,000 Del Mar Juvenile Turf at a mile Sept. 5.

Hollywood Don was the quicker of the two, winning Wednesday’s fifth race in 1:35.72 for trainer Peter Miller. Arcature won the day’s eighth race in 1:37.49 for trainer Simon Callaghan.

“If he comes out of it well, that will be our first aim,” Callaghan said of the Del Mar Juvenile Turf. “We’ve always liked the horse.”
