El Potente Back Home in City of Hope Mile for Del Mar Mile Rematch

BY BROCK SHERIDAN


Trainer Dan Blacker looks for Florida-bred El Potente to avenge his narrow third-place loss to winner King of Gosford (GB) and runner-up Detain (Ire) in the Grade 2 Del Mar Mile last out when he takes on many of the same rivals Saturday in the Grade 2, $200,000 City of Hope Mile on the Santa Anita turf.

R Disaster to Defend Title in Gallant Bloom at New Belmont Park

BY BROCK SHERIDAN


It will be the same race but at a different track for Florida-bred R Disaster as she goes for her second straight title in the Grade 2, $250,000 Gallant Bloom to be run Saturday at the new Belmont Park. Trained by Saffie Joseph Jr. for Averill Racing and Mattera Racing, R Disaster won last year's Gallant Bloom by three-and-a-half lengths at Aqueduct during the Belmont at Big A meet on September 27.
