Del Mar Stakes Recaps (11-15-20)
Bob Hope Stakes (G3)- Winner: Red Flag ($23.40)
Spielberg was the overbet favorite for Baffert, and he turned back, returned in two weeks, and was no real threat. Surface switching turf sprint maiden winner Red Flag dominated this seven panel heat. He battled on the pace outside, and pulled clear and rolled to a strong 7-1/4 length victory for Victor Espinoza and John Shirreffs. Uncle Boogie rallied for the place and Ambivalent was best of the rest in 3rd. Spielberg was a flat 4th and Weston and Coastal City trailed.
