The undefeated and highly regarded Malibu Prayer will get tested for class while battling conceivable horse racing favorite Switch in the Torrey Pines Stakes at Del Mar this Sunday, September 5th.
Malibu Prayer was green in her form race, an $80,000 optional claimer on the turf at a mile, but found a way to win by ¾ lengths after running the primary quarter in :22 and 1. The fact that she hung on makes her a serious player to win the Torrey Pines on Sunday.

Of course, because I believe her odds are going to be extremely low based on her actual chances to win, I’m going to have to pass on betting Malibu Prayer to enter the winner’s gird in the Torrey Pines on Sunday. As opposed to, I’m going to put my faith in a different horse.

Torrey Pines Stakes

1 mile over all-weather Polytrack
pp. 8-Washington Bridge – - 7/2 fair betting odds
There should be sufficiently despatch in this racecourse to set things up for tracker Washington Bridge. The Jerry Hollendorfer trainee finished second to Emmy Darling in her mould race, a 1-mile jaunt over the Poly, in August. Jockey Mike Smith stays aboard and Hollendorfer must be feeling pretty good about Washington Bridge’s terrific work on August 27th where she busted 4 furlongs in :48. It was the 7th fastest work out of 53 at the stiffness that day. Washington Bridge could absolutely be the upsetter to the horse racing favorite’s quest someone is concerned glory on Sunday.
pp. 6-Switch – - 4/1 fair betting odds
Graded stakes winner Divert might just win this horse-race based on the fact that she won’t demand to face Evening Bijou or Blind Luck in this. Switch actually beat Blind Chance, a certain of the top-rated female runners in the Unified States, at Hollywood Park in June in the Grade II Hollywood Oaks. Granted Blind Luck is more of a dirt horse than a plastic, loving animal, but Switch still did something that very few horses deliver done. Deviate showed nothing when facing Evening Jewel in her last but that race was over the turf and a return to the plastic might help Switch benefit to the winner’s circle.
pp. 2-Malibu Pier – 5/1 good-looking betting odds
Carl Gaines switches the daughter of Malibu Moon from the – turf to the all-weather. She definitely has a shot to win this, but the Bob Baffert trained Ellafitz is going to test her on the front-end and Malibu Prayer might need more experience before tackling a field like this. Then again, she showed incredible heart in her eventually race and heart can go a long way on the plastic at Del Mar.
