2014 Del Mar Futurity Race Favorite Entries

Skyway - impressive Mark Casse trained colt has three career starts with two wins and a third place finish. Last time out was one of those wins - by an impressive 1 1/4 lengths in the Grade 2 Best Pal Stakes on this track August 3 after a third in the Grade 3 Bashford Manor Stakes at Churchill Downs in June and a maiden score at first asking - at Keeneland in April. Corey Nakatani has been tabbed to ride the 7-2 morning line favorite from the outside post.

Holiday Camp - another Bob Baffert pupil - he debuted with a maiden score at Santa Anita June 7 and then made a rather unsuccessful step up into stakes company last time out where he finished sixth in the minor Santa Anita Juvenile Stakes June 22. Holiday Camp looks to bounce back from that poor effort with Martin Garcia aboard from post 8 as the 9-2 slight second choice.

The Doug O'Neill trained colt gets a second crack at Skyway and is seen to be possibly his biggest threat. Tyler Baze gets the mount from post 6 at 5-1 odds.

Iron Fist - Jerry Hollendorfer trainee is coming off a second in a MSW August 9 after a fourth in a similar race July 19 - both results on this track. Mike Smith has been tabbed to ride from post 5 as Iron Fist looks for his first ever victory Wednesday at 5-1 on the morning line.
