Spotlight Race:
$100,000 Betty Grable Stakes, 7 furlongs on the dirt at Del Mar.
Date:
Sunday, November 9 (Race 8, 7:00pm ET)
What to do with a $20 Bet:
$5 Late Double #4 Grand Slam Smile with #1 Lady Rider, #4 Lady of Power, #6 Morgan’s Bluff, #11 Sexzie
The Reason:
Grand Slam Smile is proven on the dirt and will be out for revenge after a narrow loss last time out. The next race is a bit of a tough one to unpack, but we will go with a quartet of hopefuls who each have as good a shot as any.
