Del Mar Race 8
5 - Blackjackcat
This 4-year-old gelding has really turned the corner with back-to-back hard fought victories and now moves up the class ladder. Blackjackcat is the hot horse in the field and that cannot be underestimated - even defeating one of today's favorites Vyjack last time out in the Wickerr Stakes. Trainer Mark Glatt shows a ton of confidence moving his horse from the Claiming ranks to this Grade II event since July. Blackjackcat doesn't have the highest speed figures in the field, but will make up for it with a perfect trip under jockey Kent Desormeaux. Look for the 4-year-old to sit behind Midnight Storm, make a move around the final turn, and continue this hot streak with another victory as the hot horse in the field.
