Seven Go To Post For Clement L. Hirsch<\/a> originally appeared on Paulick Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Grade 1, $400,000 Clement L. Hirsch Stakes tops a highly competitive Saturday program at Del Mar, and the filly and mare offering will be joined by the California Dreamin\u2019 Stakes on the 11-race card.<\/p>\n

The Hirsch, named in honor of one of the founders of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, is a key part of the shore oval\u2019s \u201cOak Tree Day,\u201d a salute to the racing association that is one of the sport\u2019s most generous benefactors and an organization that Hirsch helped found.<\/p>\n

The Clement L. Hirsch is a \u201cWin and You\u2019re In\u201d for the Breeders\u2019 Cup Distaff here in November.<\/p>\n

Besides the 55th edition of the Hirsch, which has drawn seven distaff runners for its 1 1\/16-mile testing on the main track, the afternoon also will feature the 20th running of the $150,000 California Dreamin\u2019, a 1 1\/16 miles turf test limited to 3-year-olds and up bred in California.<\/p>\n

The main track Hirsch features a trio of females who are all graded stakes winners \u2013 MyRacehorse or Leidel\u2019s Seismic Beauty, Spendthrift Farm\u2019s Kopion, and Hill n Dale Equine Holdings and Stud Vendaval\u2019s Richi. Four other top-notch femmes will join them in what will be race 10 on the program.<\/p>\n

The California Dreamin\u2019, which goes as race 9 on the card, has a standout in the 11-horse field in Integrity Thoroughbred Racing, the Ellwood Johnston Trust, or Tevelde\u2019s Kings River Knight, a speedy 7-year-old gelding who has been first or second in 17 of his 19 starts and is listed at even money on the morning line.<\/p>\n

The Oak Tree group hosted a race meeting in the fall at Santa Anita for 42 years from 1969 through 2010. Their charitable generosity to racing includes nearly $25 million to such activities as equine research at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, the Winner\u2019s Foundation, the Gregson Foundation, and other worthy racing organizations. Additionally, they have aided Del Mar in providing its unique feeding program to its backstretch workers for the past three years.<\/p>\n

For \u201cOak Tree Day,\u201d the group has provided $100,000 toward the purse for the Hirsch and also will present $500 to the grooms of each \u201cbest turned out\u201d horse during the 11-race program.<\/p>\n
