Bloom Racing Stable LLC's Soul Driver (Street Boss) ran down pacesetter

Forest Blue (Tale of Ekati) to take Thursday's

Oceanside S. on the opening day card at Del Mar.

With jockey Mike Smith aboard, the Jeff Mullins trainee finished a mile on

the firm turf in 1:35.86 to secure his second straight stakes victory. Soul

Driver drew off to a 4 1/2-length score in the Singletary S. at the same

distance on Santa Anita Park's turf last out on June 20 with Gary Stevens

aboard.

This time around, Stevens opted to ride Papacoolpapacool (Temple City), who

was sent off the 6-5 favorite and finished fifth.
