This would happen to be my real life birthday weekend and here in the sim I wished to spend it at the races.\u00a0 There are many wonderful races that are running this weekend which also include the Dell Web Mile for this group of turf runners.\u00a0 They will travel 8 furlongs in California across what is listed to be a firm turf track for Saturday\u2019s race.\u00a0 This is a very nice looking field of contenders that wish to add a win here to their resumes.\u00a0 I have looked over the track and watched a few last minute workings of some of these horses.\u00a0 I have spoken with some of the owners and jockeys and all seem confident that their horses are ready for this trip.\u00a0 The odds makers have posted their morning line and the post positions have been drawn.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a look at how these horses stack up and take a preview peek of the contenders here in California for the Dell Web Mile.<\/p>\n

two G2 wins this season and one of those came in his last race in Kentucky on 06\/23\/2019 in the G2, The Sparkler Handicap when this front runner closed up shop on his contenders throwing down a 119
