State Bred Stakes On Tap Today at Beach & Spa

After a steady stream of graded races at Saratoga and Del Mar, a pair of state bred stakes top the cards at both summer racing venues today.

Del Mar
The $100,000 Solona Beach Handicap for California bred fillies and mares three years old and upward at 1 mile on the turf is today's feature to end the week at Del Mar.
