Sunday’s Rancho Bernardo H. (G3) was a virtual match race between defending champion Edgeway and prime challenger Slammed, both in the betting and on the racetrack.

About three hours after the Ballerina (G1) at Saratoga Sunday, Del Mar hosts the Rancho Bernardo H. (G3) with Breeders’ Cup implications in the same division.

The opening day of Santa Anita's fall meet on Friday will feature three Breeders' Cup Challenge preps for two-year-olds, as well as a potentially key prep for the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint (G1).

Grace Adler dominated the Del Mar Debutante (G1), longshot Liam’s Dove broke her maiden in the Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf, and unbeaten sophomore Flightline also grabbed attention on the Sunday card.

Two-year-old fillies are in the spotlight in Del Mar’s Sunday stakes, with the $100,000 Juvenile Fillies Turf serving as a warm-up act for the $300,000 Del Mar Debutante S. (G1).
