Del Mar Race 2 - Race 2 - Maiden Claiming
GRINNELL (7) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 4/05/2025, finishing fourth and beaten 9 lengths over 1308m at Santa Anita (Dirt). Comes here with definite claims. LEAN MUSIC MACHINE (1) could only manage eighth on dirt over 1207m at Ellis Park two back then couldn't find the top-three on turf over 1006m at this track more recently. In the mix on his best efforts. MY HERO (2) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when second, beaten half a length, at Los Alamitos (Dirt) over 1609m. Should be at his peak now. HEPHEPCUTDOWNNETS (3) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a spell, beaten 5 lengths. Ready to go one better.
