Beverly D. (G1) winner Dalika will return to Churchill Downs and headline a contentious field of 10 fillies and mares that were entered in the Grade 3, $300,000 Cardinal Stakes on Thanksgiving Day at Churchill Downs.
The 47th running of the Cardinal will be run at 1 1/8 miles on turf and go as race 11 of 12 at 4:22 p.m. EST.
Trained by Al Stall Jr., Dalika was the half-length victor in the Aug. 13 Beverly D., which was contested for the first time at Churchill Downs. The striking gray 5-year-old mare primarily trains at the Skylight Training Center, located about 40 minutes from Churchill Downs in Goshen, Ky. Overall, Dalika has won nine of her 30 starts and tabbed $1,292,786 in purse earnings. Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. will be in the saddle for the Cardinal and break from post No. 5.
The competitive Cardinal field also includes Godolphin’s Grade 3 winner Adventuring and Grade 3-placed Lake Lucerne as well as multiple stakes winner Pass the Plate.
