DEL MAR, Calif. – It is true California-bred 2-year-olds sprinting in a pair of early stakes Friday at Del Mar will receive less attention than 2-year-olds running in five Breeders’ Cup races in late afternoon.What’s also true is both California-bred stakes include longshot contenders that might slip through the cracks, the same type of overlays that bettors look for in Breeders’ Cup races.A maiden second-time starter is poised to upset the Golden State Juvenile Fillies, race 3, and a trouble-prone stretch-runner will try for the same in the Golden State Juvenile, race 5. Both races are seven furlongs with purses of $175,000. The girls go first.Hot Girl Walk is favored in the Golden State Juvenile based on two sharp wins from three starts, including the Generous Portion Stakes for California-bred fillies Sept. 2 at Del Mar. However, Grateful My Love ran better than looked in her debut Sept. 28 at Santa Anita. She finished fifth with a mere 45 Beyer Speed Figure, a number that might deter some bettors. Others loved her debut.Grateful My Love broke slowly in the six-furlong maiden race. Her trainer, Michael McCarthy, described her trip. “Lost contact with the field early, sort of [started] picking it up coming to the quarter pole, leveled off, and finished up nicely through the lane and galloped out well.”Trainers occasionally overstate their runner’s trips, but Grateful My Love ran precisely as McCarthy described. Next to last by 16 lengths at the quarter pole, she took off in the stretch. John Velazquez guided her through traffic, she split rivals, and galloped out in front of the field.It was a super debut that sets up Grateful My Love for a second-start victory. Velazquez is back aboard; the longer distance is a benefit. Grateful My Love is listed at 6-1 in the program and will try to follow 2016 Golden State Juvenile winner How About Zero, who scored her first career win in the stakes.Hot Girl Walk, the favorite, raced three times in six weeks during the Del Mar summer meet, an ambitious campaign not typical for her trainer. “It’s against my grain doing that,” Carla Gaines said. “But she was there, she was happy, she was healthy. What else am I going to do with her?”Gaines ran her. Debut runner-up, maiden winner second out, stakes winner third out. But after breaking from posts near the outside in her first three starts, Hot Girl Walk is buried on the rail Friday in the nine-runner field. The program favorite might be good enough to overcome the draw under jockey Antonio Fresu. Gaines said Hot Girl Walk is “a little hot-headed around the barn and the paddock, but once she’s on the track, she’s serious. She’ll turn off, she’ll turn on. She can sit, wait, and make a run.”Beyond contenders Grateful My Love and Hot Girl Walk, the Golden State Juvenile Fillies includes stakes winner In the Air Tonight, potential pacesetter We the Free, and last-out maiden winners Pavel Is Appealing and Rizzleberry Rose.Race 5 is the Golden State Juvenile, won by favorites six times in the last 10 years. The program favorite this year is Luis Mendez-trained allowance winner I’m a Bad Boy, though stakes winner R Heisman will vie for favoritism while dropping from graded stakes for trainer Peter Miller.Phil D’Amato entered two, including Shea Brennan, 10-1 in the program. Shea Brennan drew inside posts his first three starts, a debut win and two thirds. He had early trouble in all three. “He just needs to get off the rail,” D’Amato said before the draw. “If he ever gets an outside post, I think he’ll be much more effective. He likes to come with a big, sweeping run.’Wish granted. Shea Brennan drew post 5 in the middle of the 10-horse field, switches riders to Flavien Prat, and could score an upset from off the pace. If not Shea Brennan, then D’Amato-trained Speedy Wilson has a shot at 6-1.“He’s a similar kind of horse. I think he’s definitely a two-turn kind of horse,” D’Amato said. “They breezed together.” Speedy Wilson was given 1:01.20 for five furlongs on Oct. 26; Shea Brennan was given 1:01.60.The next two-turn stakes for California-bred 2-year-olds that would be ideal for both Shea Brennan and Speedy Wilson is the $100,000 King Glorious on Dec. 8 at Los Alamitos. That is the race Mark Glatt-trained Golden State Juvenile runner Call Me Sir also may target.
