Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 3 Journalists Posted August 3 2nd-Del Mar, $82,200, Alw (NW1$X)/Opt. Clm ($40,000), 8-3, 3yo/up, f/m, 6f, 1:09.14, ft, 6 1/2 lengths. FORMULA ROSSA (f, 3, Vekoma–Fay Na Na, by Majestic Warrior), named a 'TDN Rising Star' in a four-length debut Feb. 21 going six furlongs at Santa Anita–which netted a 91 Beyer Speed Figure–hadn't been seen since, even skipping the worktab entirely in April and May. Resuming timed works in June, she reappeared here as the 1-5 choice. Ears pinned after bumped from both sides out of the gate, she emerged from the fray in front, set :22.04 and :45.16 fractions, and suddenly widened on the turn all on her own. With Antonio Fresu sitting quietly and taking a peek under his right arm in the stretch, Formula Rossa kicked well clear and crossed the wire 6 1/2 lengths the best while geared down as the easiest of winners. Veteran Wishtheyallcouldbe (Grazen) closed from last to garner runner-up honors. Fay Na Na, Formula Rossa's unraced dam, has a 2-year-old Yaupon filly, who RNA'd for $250,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-year-old sale, and a yearling Cyberknife filly. She was bred to Good Magic for 2026. Sales History: $130,000 Ylg '23 KEEJAN; $270,000 Ylg '23 FTKOCT. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $84,600.

FORMULA ROSSA ($2.40) destroys the field in the 2nd at @DelMarRacing. @Antonio1Fresu coasted home aboard the three-year-old Vekoma (@spendthriftfarm) filly for trainer Mark Glatt.
