A side story to the saga of Spielberg will play out next Saturday at Del Mar.
The horse that was just edged by luckless Spielberg in his maiden special win--Parnelli--is in another MSW going a flat mile. He was defeated a neck and 8 clear of the the 3rd who was coming off a 75-length drubbing in his previous start and is also entered in the Saturday race.
For completeness, Parnelli, who has been dueled into 2nd in 3 straight races, was also a neck back in his previous start while again well clear of 3rd. The winner was Hot Rod Charlie, the O'Neill colt that was 100-1 when running second to the Godolphin horse in the BC Juvenile.
The race drew 7 horses, so should be good for artificially inflating the Derby dreams of any horse able to win the race by open lengths. Parnelli almost assuredly will be odds-on favorite (he's already failed once in that capacity) unless the Bob Baffert first-timer has buzz behind him (based on his works, I doubt it).
