Del Mar: Comebacks set for All Out Blitz, Tatters to Riches

At times in the last year, All Out Bliltz and Tatters to Riches were rated as 2- and 3-year-olds to watch. Both wound up sidelined, missing vital races. Both return to racing in an allowance race with a $40,000 claiming option in Saturday's ninth race.

Tatters to Riches (1) will start for the first time since a sixth-place finish in the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity last September. Tatters to Riches was 9-2 in the race and ran near the front for a half-mile before fading. He was diagnosed with an ankle injury in the weeks that followed and has not raced since.

All Out Blitz (5) beat maidens at Los Alamitos last December and had three starts in graded stakes earlier this year for 3-year-olds - a second in the Grade 3 Sham STakes to McKinzie in January, a well-beaten third in the Grade 2 San Vicente Stakes in February and an eighth in the Grade 3 Sunland Park Derby in New Mexico in March in his last race.

They have tough assignments in a field led by Flagstaff (9), who fought to win a maiden race at 5 1-2 furlongs at Santa Anita on June 24. Tyler Baze was aboard for that win and is the regular rider of Tatters to Riches. Baze is on Tatters to Riches on Saturday, a clue the colt could be ready for a fine effort in his comeback.
