Mrazek, My California headline state bred stakes races at Del Mar

Mrazek is the 3-1 morning line favorite in Wednesday’s Real Good Deal while My California was tabbed the 7-5 morning line choice by oddsmaker Russ Hudak for Friday’s CTBA in Del Mar’s stakes offerings during the first three days of the meeting’s Week 3 programs.

 

Owned by J. Paul Reddam and trained by Doug O’Neill, Mrazek won the 2015 Graduation Stakes in his only Del Mar appearance. The 3-year-old son of Square Eddie drew the No. 7 post in a field of 10.
