Horse
Horse Profile: The Waco Kid
Palmer’s other runner, The Waco Kid, comes off a front-running coup in the Somerville Tattersall (G3) at Newmarket. If that career high may have been aided by soft going, he has also won on good-to-firm, and his pedigree is favorable for adapting to Del Mar.

Horse Profile: Meta Max
Owned by Susumu Fujita, who sponsors the Sprint through his Cygames company, Meta Max is likely to be an anticlimax after Fujita’s Forever Young contests the Classic.

As a confirmed front runner, Don Frankie promises to add fuel to the pace fire in the Sprint.
Breeders Cup
Horse Profile: South American imports
South American imports Mufasa and Full Serrano have done enough stateside to gauge their ability.
Racing
Horse Profile: Remake
With a superabundance of early speed on tap, deep-closing Remake will get the right set-up if he can mobilize quickly enough down the Del Mar stretch.
Breeders Cup
Horse Profile: Soprano
Soprano faces an obvious distance question here. The prospect of a strenuous pace will ruthlessly expose any stamina limitations.

Horse Profile: Beach Bomb
A homebred for Gaynor Rupert’s Drakenstein Stud, Beach Bomb now runs in the name of its British arm, Cayton Park Stud.

Horse
Horse Profile: Ushba Tesoro
Fifth in last year’s Classic at Santa Anita, Ushba Tesoro hopes for better luck with the venue switch to Del Mar.
Racing
Horse Profile: Forever Young
Trained by international maestro Yoshito Yahagi, Forever Young has the advantage of being proven in U.S. conditions.
International
Horse Profile: Wingspan
As a gritty front runner, Wingspan will be prominent for a long way, but her efforts might ultimately play into the hands of venerable stablemate Luxembourg.
Racing
Horse Profile: Jayarebe
Trainer Brian Meehan has won the Turf twice with relative outsiders, and Jayarebe will try to give him a third.
Racing
Horse Profile: Rousham Park
If Shahryar is the well-traveled Japanese contender with all of the requisite credentials, Rousham Park is the up-and-comer with a world of potential
Breeders Cup
Horse Profile: Luxembourg
If the erstwhile glamor colt doesn’t occupy the same Ballydoyle pedestal as in former years, Luxembourg remains a threat when he lands in the right spot to do himself justice.
Racing
Horse Profile: Shahryar
A terrific third at 25-1 in last year’s Turf despite a last-prep hiccup, Shahryar returns off a smoother build-up to try again.
Breeders Cup
Horse Profile: Rebel’s Romance
Godolphin’s 2022 Turf hero has regrouped from a star-crossed 2023 and arrives with strong claims to regain his crown
Horse
Horse Profile: Che Evasora
Che Evasora’s flop in her stateside prep in the Zenyatta (G2) did nothing to answer the question marks about her Breeders’ Cup potential.
Breeders Cup
Horse Profile: Alice Verite
Having raced exclusively on the Japanese turf so far, Alice Verite had the Filly & Mare Turf as her first preference at the pre-entry stage.
