Del Mar, CA (August 23, 2020) – Needless to Say announced her arrival on the racing scene with an emphatic victory in her career debut in the 8th race at Del Mar, a five and one-half furlong maiden special weight over the fast main track.

Our Harris Farms homebred filly had a series of strong drills leading up to her unveiling and she left the gate as the 3/2 favorite. She never gave her backers a moment’s worry. Quickly to the lead, she opened up by a length and held that margin until the top of the stretch. Under a hand ride by jockey Tiago Pereira, she opened up on the field, coming home by an unpressured three and one- quarter lengths.
