Irideo 10/1

Du Jour 4/1

Du Jour had a great showing in the Wickerr, winning the event by a solid margin. However, he has had mixed results lately but now is the time for him to break out of his slump.

I'm A Gambler 8/1

I’m A Gambler is racing in his third event in the US. He has a handful of graded stakes in Great Britain and was third in the Wickerr event recently.

Count Again 4/1

Count Again’s last race was a fourth place finish at the Eddie Read (G2). This was his first race since his victory at the Shoemaker Mile back in 2022.

The following odds are provided by MyBookie for the 2023 Del Mar Mile. Below features the full projected lineup of horses for this event.

Exaulted 3/1

Exaulted is earning his 16^th start of his career and has been a consistent presence in each race he has competed in. So far, he has five victories, three runner-ups, and four third place results.

He has yet to lose on turf and has not lost with jockey Juan Hernandez. This is a competitive situation for a horse that thrives in this environment, so expect him to do well here.
