Edited from Del Mar reportsThree stakes winners head a prospective field of 10 for Saturday's grade I, $250,000 Del Mar Debutante at seven furlongs.
Bully Bones, the winner of Del Mar's grade III Sorrento Stakes on Aug. 6, is the headliner, but she'll share honors with Indian Breeze, who won Hollywood Park's Landaluce Stakes before a sluggish eighth-place finish in the Sorrento, and River's Prayer, who won Hollywood's Cinderella Stakes before being beaten by Indian Breeze in the Landaluce.
Riders for Indian Breeze and River's Prayer are uncertain at this point, as are riding assignments for prospects Calamity June and Miss Norman, both maiden winners. Rene Douglas retains the ride on Bully Bones.
Also set for the race are Diplomat Lady, Jon Court; Mystery Girl, Garrett Gomez; Golden Silk, Jose Valdivia, Jr.; Slick Road, Mike Smith; and Wild Fit, Alex Solis.
