Del Mar Thoroughbred Club's 28-day summer session is off and running sans fans and horse owners but nevertheless the trainers and jockeys are putting on happy, if covered, faces and the horses are spectacular, as always. The first race was won by #4 Secret Touch owned by CRK Stable, trained by Peter Eurton and ridden by Umberto Rispoli (purple cap). Friday, July 10, 2020. The season runs through Labor Day, Sept. 7.

Grayson-Jockey Club Foundation will partner with Little Red Feather Racing and Equibase to sponsor the 'Gamble For Grayson Handicapping Challenge.'

The contest will take place Nov. 28 and 29 and will span five graded stakes races to be held that weekend at Del Mar. Representatives of Little Red Feather and Equibase will begin with $500 bankrolls, $100 must be wagered on each race on straight win-place-show bets, exactas, trifectas or superfectas. At the end of the contest, all remaining bankroll and winnings will be donated to Grayson.

The team representing Little Red Feather is Gary Fenton, managing partner of Little Red Feather; and Kenny Mayne, sports journalist for ESPN. The Equibase team is composed of Christina Blacker, TVG host, reporter, and analyst; and Ellis Star, national racing analyst for Equibase.

The races that have been selected for the Gamble for Grayson Handicapping Challenge are the GI Hollywood Derby and GI Matriarch S., the GII Seabiscuit H. and the GIII Jimmy Durante S. and GIII Cecil B. Demille S.
