Del Mar's Turf Gives a Freshman Sire His First Stakes Winner

Vanta, a two-year-old filly, crossed the wire first in the Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar on Sunday, delivering the milestone win on the seaside course's grass. She is out of Goodn'ready, a daughter of More Than Ready, and by Greatest Honour, whose first crop of runners produced its first stakes winner in her. The result puts sire and daughter in the record book on the same afternoon, a pairing that turf regulars at Del Mar don't see often. It is the kind of pedigree note that racing people file away and revisit the next time either name appears on a card.
