Good afternoon and welcome to Del Mar
Where the surf meets the turf
And 10 have come to run for Glory

Our Feature Event celebrates the “ Dog Days Of Summer “ {7/23–8/11}
The “ WOOF WOOF “ Stakes

Will A COLT Dog Honor The Woof Woof
Or A FELINE FILLY Finish First

The answer will soon be known as the tenacious 10 are in the gate

And Away they go in the “WOOF WOOF “ Stakes

It’s a speedy trio out for an early lead
Digger between 2 Feline Fillys = Ruffian The Cheetah + Tiger Dancer
Thunder Cat is moving up quickly to join that trio
As this fearsome foursome heads to the turn

OUT OF THE TURN THEY COME

It is now Thunder Cat on the lead with Digger right at Her tail
Roamin Is catching up quickly along with Ruffian

There is a huge gap back to the rest of the field who are slow to get started

Real Quiet, Tiger Dancer Post Time Mike, Blunny
And FAR Back, Dusty + Cruzan

They’re At The Top Of The Stretch

Things have dramatically changed as now There is a fierce battle at the front
Roamin — Post Time Mike — Thunder Cat — Digger

Dusty and Tiger Dancer on the move
Real Quiet, Ruffian and The Not-So-Energized Blunny far back
Even Farther Back … Cruzan just meandering along

AND DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME

A 3-Way Battle at the Front — Neck + Neck
Roamin 🏎 ~ Post Time Mike ~ (DC) Thunder Cat

Digger with a Loss of momentum after jumping a shadow on the track is next

It’s another 8 Lengths back to Dusty
Followed by Tiger Dancer, Real Quiet Ruffian Blunny

And trotting along in another time zone is Cruzan in no hurry at all

Here Comes The Wire and A Photo Finish For Sure
