We’re back at DEL this weekend for one of the biggest races of the meet, the $500.000 DEL Handicap, for fillies and mares. When this race first appeared on the schedule in 2006, it had a $1,000.000 purse associated with it, but would lose $250.000 in 2010, and then sunk all the way to $400.000 last year, so at least we can say the purse is going in the right direction.

Saturday Khartoum Gets It Done Again, Wins Foster
