DOWN THE STRETCH

• Unique Bella, a budding superstar, will make the fifth and perhaps most challenging start of her brief career Saturday at Santa Anita in the $100,000 Grade III Santa Ysabel Stakes for 3-year-old fillies. The race, at 1 1/16 miles on the main track, drew a field of seven, including Grade I Starlet Stakes winner Abel Tasman and Grade I Chandelier Stakes winner Noted and Quoted. Unique Bella, whose three victories have come by a total of 26 1/2 lengths, will again be ridden by Mike Smith. The Tapit filly’s top Beyer speed figure of 99 is the best among all 3-year-olds this year, male or female.

• Breeders’ Cup officials outlined ticketing information this week for the 2017 event, which will be held at Del Mar for the first time on Nov. 3-4. Beginning Monday at 9 a.m. PST, fans can purchase tickets online at breederscup.com/tickets, or by calling the ticketing office at 877-849-4287. A special pre-sale will be conducted before Monday. Fans can sign up at dmtc.com/season/breeders-cup for pre-sale access. Attendance will be capped at 37,500 both days. There will be no walk-up sales available either day. Prices range from $35-$375 on Nov. 3 and $50-$500 on Nov. 4. Two-day packages range from $85-$1,875.

• A pair of Kentucky Derby contenders, Holy Bull Stakes winner Irish War Cry and El Areeb, the Wither Stakes winner who’s won his past four starts by a combined 29 1/2 lengths, will be in action Saturday as the Road to the Derby continues. Irish War Cry headlines a field of 11 for the $400,000 Grade II Fountain of Youth Stakes at Gulfstream Park, a 1 1/16-mile race that also includes highly-regarded Gunnevera and Practical Joke. El Areeb tops the $300,000 Grade III Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct, which drew a field of 10 for the 1 1/16-mile race. El Areeb is the lone graded-stakes winner in the field.
