Five graded-stakes winners including undefeated
Iscreamuscream are among the eight 3-year-old fillies entered for Saturday’s
Grade 1, $300,000 Del Mar Oaks covering 1 1/8 miles on the Southern California turf.
Morning-line favorite Iscreamuscream (8-5) is 3-for-3 for trainer Phil D’Amato, who has
three entrants in the race. In her stakes debut she won last out as the 6-5
favorite in the San Clemente Handicap (G2), the one-mile, opening-day feature
July 20 at Del Mar. The $330,000 Twirling Candy filly is owned by Agave Racing
Stable, Little Red Feather Racing, John Hundley, Marsha Naify and John and
Stacey Snyder. Héctor Berrios will ride Iscreamuscream again, this time from
post 1.

Her Ireland-bred stablemate Circle of Trust (6-1) is coming back
from a 1 1/4-length win June 1 in the Honeymoon (G3). This year the daughter of
Union Rags owned by James Downey is 4: 2-0-1, all at 1 1/8 miles on the Santa
Anita turf. Starting from post 2, Reylu Gutiérrez will become the seventh
different jockey in Circle of Trust’s eight races.
Also trained by D’Amato, Zona Verde (8-1) closed late in the San
Clemente to finish second, three-quarters of a length behind Iscreamuscream. Winless
in five starts since the Jimmy Durante (G3) in December, the Calyx filly has
finished second in three minor stakes this year. Owned by Benowitz family trust,
CYBT, McLean Racing Stables and Michael Nentwig, Zona Verde will break from
post 4 with her regular jockey Juan Hernández.
Whiskey Decision (5-2), the second choice on the morning line, brings a three-race winning streak into the
Del Mar Oaks. Bred and owned by Fred Hertrich and John Fielding and trained by
Arnaud Delacour, the daughter of Into Mischief won the 1 1/8-mile, $150,000
Christiana black-type stakes going 1 1/8 miles July 8 at Delaware Park. Her
turf debut in a 1 1/16-mile, first-level allowance race May 10 at Churchill
Downs resulted in a 5 1/2-length victory. That was good for an 87 Beyer Speed
Figure, according to Daily Racing Form. She broke her maiden March 23 on
the Tapeta course at Turfway Park. Umberto Rispoli, who won the Del Mar Oaks
last year with Anisette, will be paired for the first time with Whiskey
Decision and go from post 3.
Buchu (12-1), Rigney Racing’s homebred Justify filly, won last fall’s
Jessamine (G2) and this spring’s Appalachian (G2), both at Keeneland. She is 6:
3-1-1 in her native Kentucky but 4: 0-0-1 elsewhere. Trained by Phil Bauer, she
finished sixth in her two Grade 1 starts, including the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile
Fillies Turf last fall at Santa Anita and the Belmont Oaks Invitational last
month at Aqueduct. Martín García will ride from post 5.
Medoro (5-1) finished third, Sakura Blossom (20-1) fourth and Sea Dancer (20-1) eighth
in the San Clemente, and they drew the three outside posts for the Del Mar
Oaks. Medoro’s four-race winning streak to start her career was snapped by her
troubled trip in the San Clemente. Sakura Blossom was a stakes winner at Turf
Paradise who gets blinkers for the first time. Sea Dancer is an allowance
victor who has finished no better than fifth in four stakes assignments.
The Del Mar Oaks is the eighth of 10 races on the Saturday
card. It is scheduled to start at p.m. EDT.
