Congrats! You now train...

In CA, there are all of 3 decent turf horses over a marathon distance. Those would be Acclamation, Champ Pegasus, and Bourbon Bay. Foolishly, the latter two, who could have put on a Blind Luck-Havre De Grace type rivalry all winter and spring in CA, decided to opt for Dubai, derailing their campaigns.

The rest of the bunch could just as easily run in a 12f $50K claimer (some of them probably have).

Buenas Dias, while no win machine, cannot run for allowance (a nw3x won't go) and given the connections, probably won't run for a tag if they can help it. Rightfully so, too. He's an in-and-outer who's hit the board in half of his 26 starts including the Del Mar Handicap and the Hollywood Turf Cup last year.

Personally, he probably fit better with Falcon Rock and Importante Purse yesterday in the Sunset (great CA stakes schedule we got there), but he's been making middle moves in a couple of his last 12f races, so perhaps they're hoping the cutback wakes him up a little (if he's entered). Even more likely, he's probably just staying in shape for the longer Del Mar Handicap, his best performance from last season.
