Hirsch Stakes, at Del Mar Race Track. The race is set to go at 1 1/16 miles on the dirt, and the winner earns an automatic berth into the 2017 Breeders' Cup Distaff.

There will be no shortage of challengers when superstar sprinter Drefong makes his 2017 racing debut on Saturday at Del Mar Race Track in the $300,000 (G1) Bing Crosby Stakes, with 10 others going to the gate to take on the 2016 Breeders' Cup Sprint champ.
