Del Mar Presents Stakes DoubleHeader Sunday Del Mar Newsletter Friday August 15 2014 Excerpts Del Mar Thoroughbred Club will feature a stakes doubleheader Sunday, presenting the 43rd running of the Grade III $150,000 Rancho Bernardo Handicap and the 20th running of the $150,000 Solana Beach Handicap. The Rancho Bernardo ‘Cap, a 6 ½ furlong dash carded as the fourth race, drew a field of six rapid older fillies and mares, including the defending champion, the brilliant Reneesgotzip (Corey Nakatani), making her first start since November when she was second, beaten a half-length by Mizdirection, in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. Among those opposing Reneesgotzip will be the classy Judy the Beauty, who will be conceding a pound to her rival as the 125-pound highweight. Mike Smith has the mount on Judy the Beauty, a three-time major stakes winner who will be making her Del Mar debut. The daughter of Ghostzapper has won seven of 16 career starts and $1,022,122. The Solana Beach Handicap, occupying the eighth-race spot on the program, attracted ten California-bred older fillies and mares for the one-mile test over the infield Jimmy Durante Turf Course. Co-highweights at 122 pounds are Kathleen Rose (Maldonado) and Doinghardtimeagain (Smith). Kathleen Rose was beaten a neck by Parranda in the Royal Heroine at Santa Anita in late June, while Doinghardtimeagain comes into the race off a disappointing sixth in the recent Grade I Clement L. Hirsch Stakes. In her previous effort, she won the Great Lady M. at Los Alamitos

Judy just won the Breeders cup filly mare sprint. She is named after the breeders mother who passed away from cancer. They finally told us how she got her name!
Yesterday someone (her owner?) said she was named for a very special family friend who I think died from cancer. They said they waited a long time to find a foal good enough to name for the friend.

Yep, they said it during the Breeder's Cup coverage too. I posted bout it further up.
Judy the Beauty's full brother, Z Besha, made his second start today (2/22/15) in the 5th at Santa Anita. A grey son of Ghostzapper - Holy Blitz he finished off the board in sixth. John Shirreffs trained Smart Transition was in the same race (making his racing debut) and finished a very good second.
