Top Juveniles Face Off in $300,000 Del Mar Futurity

Skyway has been tabbed as the morning line favorite at odds of 7-2 for trainer Mark Casse. The chestnut son of Sky Mesa was purchased as a yearling for $165,000 by John Oxley and has won two of his three starts, both of which came over synthetics. He will have Corey Nakatani aboard for the first time following a win as the favorite in the Best Pal (G2) at Del Mar in August. The pair will break from the outside post.

Holiday Camp training forwardly for synthetic debut

Second choice at odds of 9-2 on the morning line is the Bob Baffert-trained Holiday Camp. The chestnut colt was purchased for $700,000 as a two-year-old in training in March and broke his maiden at first asking at Santa Anita in June. He was sixth and last in his stakes debut in the Santa Anita Juvenile. Since that effort, he has been training sharply at Del Mar and clocked a bullet in his most recent workout. Martin Garcia will remain aboard and the pair will break from post eight.

Seven-figure purchase Iron Fist going for maiden win

Also in the field is Iron Fist who has been installed at morning line odds of 5-1. The ridgling son of Tapit is winless from two starts for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and was last seen finishing second against maiden company. Purchased for $1,550,000 as a yearling, he is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Sweet Lulu. Mike Smith has been the pilot in his prior two races and again will be in the irons. Iron Fist is slated to break from post position five.
