Sunday’s Del Mar Futurity brings a compact but prominent field of five 2 year olds to the main track for the final major juvenile test of Del Mar’s summer meet.
The Grade 1 race is worth $300,000 and is run at seven furlongs. Hughes, trained by Bob Baffert, drew post 4 and is joined by stablemate Domus from post 5. Doug O’Neill counters with Phone Booth, High Pronto and Dang Son.
