DEL MAR, Calif. - For Voodoo Dancer, Del Mar was better the second time around. The beaten favorite in last year's Del Mar Oaks, Voodoo Dancer made a triumphant return to this track on Sunday when she unleashed a powerful rally to capture the $150,000 .
The Palomar, a Grade 2 turf race for older fillies and mares, was an afterthought for trainer Christophe Clement. He called an audible and sent Voodoo Dancer back to California after an intended start in the Ballston Spa Handicap at Saratoga was washed away by the rain that fell on Travers Stakes day.
