Well-matched seven vie for Eddie Read
|
A field of seven has been entered to go nine furlongs on Del Mar's turf in Sunday's $300,000 Read H. (G1), and any one of the group could find himself in the winner's circle at the conclusion of the race. VICTOR'S CRY (Street Cry [Ire]) will be looking to add yet another Grade 1 to his resume following a head score in the Shoemaker Mile (G1) at Hollywood Park in late May. The Eoin Harty charge just got up in that one-mile event, and could enjoy the stretch-out here. Fourth in last year's Del Mar Mile H. (G2), the dark bay five-year-old broke his maiden at Del Mar in 2008 and will keep Corey Nakatani in the saddle.

The Eddie Read has proven to be the site of the ACCLAMATION (Unusual Heat)--HYADES
(Aldebaran) rematch. The pair met up in the Charles Whittingham Memorial H. (G2)
on June 5, with Acclamation leading every step of the way. Hyades settled for
second in that 1 1/4-mile test, then cut back to nine furlongs for the American
H. (G2) last out and just missed by a half-length in third. Acclamation wound up
last of nine in the United Nation S. (G1) in his most recent start. Christian
Santiago-Reyes has the return call on Acclamation while Hyades will get a jockey
switch to Martin Garcia.

LOUP BRETON (Ire) (Anabaa) also ran in the Charles Whittingham, filling the four spot there after a close third in the Woodford Reserve Turf Classic (G1). He'll be making his Del Mar debut in this spot. CROWDED HOUSE (GB) (Rainbow Quest) will be making his U.S. bow in the Eddie Read and the Brian Meehan charge will be looking for his first win since taking the 2008 Racing Post Trophy (Eng-G1). Rounding out the field will be THE USUAL Q. T. (Unusual Heat), hero of last year's Hollywood Derby (G1) and fourth in the Dubai Duty Free (UAE-G1) two back, and ENRICHED (High Brite), a 9 1/4-length allowance victor most recently.

Earlier on the card, U R ALL THAT I AM (Valid Wager) heads an overflow field
of 12 distaffers in the $75,000
Osunitas S. going 8 1/2 furlongs on the grass. The four-year-old ran third
in the Royal Heroine Mile S. (G2) and will face-off with that race's runner-up
BURG BERG (Johannesburg) in this one. Also entered is Beverly Hills H. (G3)
fourth PRINCESS HAYA (Street Cry [Ire]) and FORTUNIA (Leroidesanimaux [Brz]),
second by a neck in the Ouija Board Distaff H. (G3) last out.
