Just Grazed Me Steps Up in Pines

Nick Alexander's Just Grazed Me (Grazen) will put her unbeaten record on the line when she tackles open company for the first time in Sunday's GIII Torrey Pines S. at Del Mar. The Phil D'Amato trainee romped home a 6 1/4-length debut winner over fellow Cal-breds going 6 1/2 furlongs at Santa Anita June 24. She returned to take the seven-furlong Fleet Treat S. at Del Mar July 29 and will be adding an extra furlong in the Torrey Pines off a best-of-63 drill in 1:00 flat Aug. 17. Jay Em Ess Stable's Aunt Lubie (Uncle Mo), who opened her career with a pair of starts in Arcadia this spring, graduated at the Torrey Pines' track and distance when scoring by 1 3/4 lengths Aug. 10 for Richard Mandella. Also coming off a win over track and trip is Zayat Stables' Lemoona (Lemon Drop Kid), who graduated at Aqueduct last December for trainer Bill Mott, returned to take a July 27 optional claimer for Richard Baltas last time out.
