A maximum field of 14 was entered Saturday for Thanksgiving Thursday’s Grade III $100,000 Red Carpet Handicap, which kicks off the closing week Turf Festival of eight graded stakes in four days. First post is 11 a.m. for the holiday program.
The Red Carpet, known as the Beverly Hills Handicap for its 49 runnings, has been contested at Del Mar for the past three years. In 2016, Japanese mare Nuovo Record shipped from Santa Anita to Del Mar after the Breeders’ Cup and trained for a last-jump victory by a nose under jockey Yasunari Iwata.
The entrants include three that will be running at Del Mar for the first time – Tom Proctor-trained Earring for Glen Hill Farm, George Arnold-trained La Manta Gris for Blackstone River Stable and Victress for owner/trainer Robert Gilker.
The field from the rail: Laseen (Tiago Pereira), Dynamic Mizzes (Gary Stevens), Evo Campo (Rafael Bejarano), Victress (Stewart Elliott), La Manta Gris (Kent Desormeaux), Kiss Me Now (Brice Blanc), Responsibleforlove (Joe Talamo), Do the Dance (Tyler Baze), Galileo’s Song (Mike Smith), Earring (Drayden Van Dyke), Birdie Gold (Mario Gutierrez), Domestic Vintage (Kyle Frey), How Unusual (Corey Nakatani) and Lottie (Flavien Prat).
