England’s Tessla to Run at Del Mar
Tessla, the 2-year-old filly champion of England in 1988, will make her U.S. debut Saturday at Del Mar in the $75,000-added Osunitas Handicap for fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles on the turf.
“She was trained in England by Henry Cecil and was one of the favorites for the Oaks there,” trainer Eddie Gregson said. “I got her last winter at Santa Anita but she got a minor shin injury.”
The Kentucky-bred daughter of Glint of Gold has won three of nine starts and earned $177,422. She is owned by Yasushi Rokuroda of Japan.
