Trainer Simon Callaghan doesn’t ride jockey Mario Gutierrez very much but when they get together it turns out decent. They are 3-for-10 the last two years at Del Mar. In today’s fifth race, Gutierrez rides Bahamian (12-1). This 3-year-old colt is making his third race off the layoff, putting blinkers on and getting on the turf course for the first time. The Maryland-sire Freedom Child gets 17 percent winners first time on the grass.

SEVENTH RACE: 1. Tiny Tina, 2. Mischievous Song, 3. Bunny Yogurt. LONG SHOT: Drift Away.

EIGHTH RACE: 1. Bellafina, 2. Dragic, 3. Del Mar May. LONG SHOT: Lady Lucy.

NINTH RACE: 1. Catch Fire, 2. Supreme Giant, 3. Twisted Road. LONG SHOT: Odyssey Explorer.

Good luck.
