I've only watched a replay. Did a report come through on Chris Dell at all? I'm wondering if the races were abandoned due to the state of the rider, rather than the track as it didn't look like a slip to me.
Debuting Friday for Mark Glatt and Muir Hut Stables, FORMULA ROSSA (f, 3, Vekoma–Fay Na Na, by Majestic Warrior) stalked off a heavily-wagered Bob Baffert runner Brilliantly (Uncle Mo), surged to the front at the quarter pole and put that rival away to cruise home a new 'TDN Rising Star'. Breaking just a touch behind the favorite, the 4-1 shot settled third as stablemates Brilliantly and Cooey (Girvin) battled into the far turn. As Cooey faded on the rail, Brilliantly pushed on and opened up a gap but Formula Rossa drew closer with an outside bid at the quarter pole and impressed in the final sixteenth to win first-time out under Mike Smith. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0.
