2017 All American Stakes Entries at Golden Gate Fields

Alert Bay 2-1

Won four straight turf races in 2014/2015 including the G3 British Columbia Derby and BC Premier's Handicap at Hastings, the G2 Mathis Brothers Mile at Santa Anita and California Cup in January, 2014. He also won the G2 City of Hope Miles at Santa Anita in September, 2015. Alert Bay has been good again lately and enters on a nice two race win streak. Last time out was in the G3 San Francisco Mile April 29 (for the second year in a row) and before that was an Allowance April 2 - both in this track. Before that were two straight fourths - the G3 Longacres Mile and the minor California Dreamin' Stakes at Del Mar July 24. He now has 14 wins, seven seconds and two third place finishes in 31 career starts and will be looking for a third straight win Monday from gate 6. Juan Hernandez gets the call on the morning line favorite.

Flamboyant 7-2

French bred Patrick Gallagher trained gelding has been up and down in his career and enters this week in typically inconsistent form. Last time out was an ugly twelfth in the G2 San Luis Rey Stakes at Santa Anita March 25 after consecutive thirds - the G2 San Marcos Stakes at Santa Anita February 4 and in the G2 Hollywood Turf Cup at Del Mar November 25. He wasn't great before that - consecutive eighths including the G2 John Henry Turf Cup at Santa Anita October 2 and the G2 Del Mar Handicap in August followed an OK third in the G3 Eddie Read Stakes at Del Mar July 17 and a quality fifth in the Group 1 Dubai Turf at Meydan March 26 against some of the best turf horses on the planet. He won the G2 San Marcos Stakes in February of last year and the 2016 San Gabriel Stakes at 46-1 odds last January as well but hasn't been the same since. Flamboyant now has five wins, three seconds and seven third place finishes in 26 career starts and has been OK in two of his last three starts overall. Brice Blanc will be in the irons hoping to gain a little momentum - from gate 8.

G. G. Ryder 5-1

Won this race in 2015 and finished an ugly eleventh last year for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer - he also won the G3 San Francisco Mile in 2015 and has been competitive since. He enters off a second-place finish behind Alert Bay in the G3 San Francisco Mile here April 29, a third in an Allowance April 2, an Allowance score February 26, a second in an Allowance January 6 and another runner-up finish in the G3 Berkeley Handicap in November - all on this track.

Dalmore 6-1

Before that was a fourth in the minor Zia Park Derby November 23, a respectable second in the G3 Super Derby at Louisiana Downs September 10, a fifth in the G1 Pacific Classic in August and two straight wins - the best being a terrific score in the G3 Affirmed Stakes with an impressive 103 Beyer Speed Figure at Santa Anita last July.
