Taylor Stakes (G1) offering a Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf berth, and the $300,000 Del Mar Oaks (G1) on turf. The Alabama Stakes boasts a strong field led by Kentucky Oaks winner Good Cheer, Grade 1 winner La Cara, and rising star Nitrogen, with trainers and jockeys optimistic about their chances. Meanwhile, the King’s Plate features filly favorite No Time, trained by Mark Casse, aiming to join recent filly winners in this prestigious Canadian Triple Crown race.
