Solid Wager will try to make it a Cary Grant triple

DEL MAR, Calif. – Solid Wager will seek to win the $100,000 Cary Grant Stakes for the third straight year when he makes the 39th start of his career in the seven-furlong race for California-bred sprinters on Sunday.

Solid Wager is one of three horses trainer Peter Miller said he will run in the Cary Grant, along with California Diamond and Prime Issue.

Others under consideration for the race include Edwards Going Left, Green With Eddie, Jimmy Bouncer, Love My Bud, Smokey Image, Tribal Storm, and Well Measured.

On Saturday, Midnight Bisou, an unlucky loser at Santa Anita of her Oct. 27 debut, will be given a chance to get her first win in a stakes race when she makes her second start in the $100,000 Desi Arnaz Stakes for 2-year-old fillies.

Midnight Bisou, trained by Bill Spawr, made a strong late run and dropped a nose decision to odds-on favorite Dream Team, who is among Midnight Bisou’s possible rivals in the seven-furlong Desi Arnaz.

Others being considered for the Arnaz include Just a Smidge, Ms Bad Behavior, One Fast Broad, Secret Spice, Smiling Tigress, and Steph Being Steph.
