Monday's (9-1-08) 10-race Labor Day card from Del Mar features a competitive renewal of the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante (race 9), and #5 SAUCEY EVENING (5-1) is my horse of the day.

SAUCEY EVENING made her Colonial Downs turf sprint debut a winning one from off the pace, and she was hardly a well kept secret at 6-5.

She shipped to Del Mar for her 2nd career outing, and she overcame early trouble to finish a fast closing 2nd in a 5.5f state bred stakes sprint. Garrett Gomez knows her now, and today's added real estate should be right up her alley.

Graham Motion is a 26% synthetic trainer, and the $160k Keeneland sales grad co-tops the field with last race speed rating and late pace fig.

Day 42 Del Mar Horse du Jour: #5 SAUCEY EVENING (race 9).

Day 41 Del Mar Horse du Jour MADEO sat the right stalking trip en route to a $23.60 upset in the Grade 2 Del Mar Derby.
