Important late season test for soph gals, and an outstanding cast has come together for this edition including Together, Coolmore’s runner up in last week’s First Lady. Naysayers are lined up to bet against Winter Memories, with the Del Mar Oaks trioka led by Summer Soiree appearing to be the key. Last year, Shirreffs won this with Harmonious as she and Evening Jewel — coming out of the DMR Oaks — ran 1-2. The decision that is toughest is what to do with the 2 Shirreffs horses today. In the meantime, Tom Proctor sneaks Pucker Up winner Marketing Mix into the fray, and at 20-1 with Gomez, I’m very interested in taking an alternative position with her and the O’Brien run-back..
