Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 18, 2018 Journalists Share Posted November 18, 2018 Mucho Gusto (c, 2, Mucho Macho Man-Itsagiantcauseway, by Giant’s Causeway), named a ‘TDN Rising Star’ on debut at Los Al Sept. 20, stayed perfect, but had to work for it in Saturday’s GIII Bob Hope S. at Del Mar. The 4-5 favorite was bumped at the start and held a narrow advantage through an opening quarter in :22.36. They were stacked three across the track at the top of the stretch and Mucho Gusto looked to have his work cut out for him, but he battled on gamely after a few cracks of the whip to secure a 1 1/2-length decision. Mucho Gusto becomes the first stakes winner for his freshman sire (by Macho Uno). Savagery (Bellamy Road) was second; Sparky Ville (Candy Ride {Arg}) was third. The final time was 1:23.51.
