Del Mar

Race 8 // 8:30 pm ET // optional claiming // 5 furlongs (turf)

#6 Catemaco (4-1 ML)

His dam was million dollar-plus seller back in 2003. No foals to win on turf yet, but, to me, this one looks special. Consider grass breeding with sire, quick in maiden score, been off a while, but has been working steady since end of May. Love the blow-out in last workout. Win bet and using 3 Star Racer underneath in exotics.
