Del Mar Race 1
2 - Brainspin
Sunday's first race is a short field of six maiden runners and Brainspin is the fastest. This 3-year-old filly ran a solid third place finish first time out, and earned the quickest speed figure of the field this year. She grabbed the lead after breaking slowly from the gate, and still held on for a clear third. Fillies often show improvement in their second career start. That improvement should put her over the top for trainer John Sadler. Jockey Santiago Gonzalez has also had the hot hand opening weekend and that will continue to start Sunday.
