There are times when a small change can make a big difference in a horse’s racing luck.

North Slope is a 4-year-old gelding trained by Kiaran McLaughlin who was talented enough to finish second in the Grade 3 Hall of Fame Stakes last year, but came into this month with an 11-race losing streak.

Saturday's Grade 1 $300,000 Del Mar Debutante Stakes will be quite the exciting race as nine talented 2-year-old fillies will take to Del Mar's Polytrack going 7 furlongs.

Some New York handicappers are no doubt familiar with Chairman Now. They might recall him from 2012 when he won four races.
