This Saturday at Del Mar, the $400,000 Bing Crosby Stakes will draw attention to the top sprinters from the West Coast. The six-furlong, Grade 1 stakes race, which will feature a strong field of 10 competitors and provide fans a wide-open betting opportunity, will feature a free, expenses-paid trip to the Qatar Racing Breeders' Cup Sprint in November to the winner.

Let's Get Lucky (6-1) was given a break after a busy winter and early spring that was topped by a second in the Count Fleet Sprint Handicap at Oaklawn Park. Off the strength of the fact that some top-tier horses have emerged from those contests, he merits consideration.

1. Desmond Doss (10-1 morning-line odds): Has two recent impressive stakes victories over state-bred opposition. Although he is moving up a class, his speed tests are good, and a train ride could improve his chances.

Florent Geroux plays hockey; Steven Miyagi trains him.

2. Shaaz (7-2): After finishing third in the Steve Sexton Mile Stakes, he rejoins Baffert's stable. He works in a way that suggests he is ready for a significant effort and is best at sprint distances.

Juan J. Hernandez and Bob Baffert are the jockeys.

3. Bagboss (8-1): Bagboss is a contender after two recent swift victories at Churchill Downs. It is his first start in stakes, which is problematic. And Grade 1 company is often reasonably strong.

He was a Grade 1 winner at age three the previous year and had a good reason for finishing fourth in the Smile Sprint Invitational Stakes on his most recent run.

Drayden Van Dyke is the jockey; Saffie Joseph Jr.

5. Principe Carlo (6-1): Comes a valiant effort in Grade 2 Triple Bend Stakes defeat he suffered in late May. In the Grade 2 San Carlos Stakes, placing second. FanDuel had presented it before.

Though he has been absent for a few months, he poses a serious threat to this area at his peak.

Victor Espinoza is a jockey, and Librado Barocio is a trainer.

Howbeit (20-1) finished sixth in the seven-furlong Pat O'Brien Races at Del Mar last year. Ten months later, he ran again in ungraded stakes, losing his rider and falling. It isn't easy to believe he will be prepared for a strong showing off with such a little body of recent work.

Tyler Baze is a jockey, and Brian Korner is a trainer.

8. Diamond Oops (12-1): You can't throw out the 7-year-old gelding because he continues bringing home small checks.

However, two-fourths and a fifth in his previous three attempts in Grade 2 company suggest that his most okay days at this level are likely behind him.

Ryan Curatolo plays hockey; Patrick Biancone is his trainer.

9. American Theorem (4-1): He faced up against Principe Carlo in the Triple Bend stretch and won by a hair. He was 13-1 on that particular day, and it might be challenging to match that performance, but his success in the May stakes was too impressive to pass up.

Joe Bravo plays; George Papaprodromou trains.

10. Get Her Number (12-1): At age 2, Get Her Number won a Grade 1 race around two turns before switching to sprints for his next two outings.

You have to question if six furlongs could be too short for him, given that he came back to win by a neck at seven furlongs the last time.

Ramon Vazquez, jockey; Peter Miller, trainer
