Conquest Stable's Conquest Panthera was pounded into can't lose territory and was sent off the 1-2 chalk in the Pacific Classic day opener at Del Mar, but those who swallowed the short price were forced to hold their collective breaths for the opening two-thirds of the six-furlong affair. Bumped and subsequently steadied at the start...
Entered for main track only, Clothes Fall Off was dispatched at 7-2 while displaying a speedy worktab over this strip. Away a bit slow from her far outside draw, the bay appeared not to be taking to the slop while running several paths off the rail near the back of the pack through an opening...
Tammy the Torpedowas backed down to 2-1 favoritism to become the second winning turf firster in as many days for Chad Brown, and she did not disappoint. Away well from her far outside draw, the dark bay found a spot in midpack while racing in the two path down the backside. She began to show...
John F Kennedy, who is ambitiously named by connections, was second on debut to the potentially smart Jim Bolger trainee Hall of Fame (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}) over a mile at Leopardstown July 24 and showed how much he had learned from that experience by scoring with real authority here.

He was subsequently transferred to the barn of Tony Dutrow, but could only manage a third-place run with a wide trip as the 6-5 favorite...
The scratch of Da Jenius (Malibu Moon–Madcap Escapade) opened the door for Competitive Edge to draw into the field for Saturday's third race at Saratoga, and the striking bay colt made light work of a quality bunch to score by 10 1/4 lengths en route to a TDN Rising Star. Bred by WinStar Farm, Competitive Edge...
Basateen was green but promising when third on debut behind stable companion Lexington Times (Ire) (Paco Boy {Ire}) over this trip on a soft surface at Newmarket July 11 and broke much more professionally here to race enthusiastically in a narrow lead after the first quarter mile. Given a shake of the reins passing the...
Stonestreet Stable's homebred Tara's Tango was backed down to odds-on early in the wagering, touched 7-5 on the drift and settled at 6-5 to open her account at first asking in a very strong-looking Del Mar maiden. Away alertly to press the pace, the half-sister to Visionaire (Grand Slam, GISW, $465,882) traveled in the two...
