It also sports a raised horse and rider on its front splitting engraved text that reads: “Del Mar 1987 Del Mar Debutante.” It too was won by “Lost Kitty” this time ridden by Gary Stevens with a winning time of 1:36.00.

This third trophy is a pewter bowl made by Tiffany's & Co. (956g) that stands five inches high and 10 inches in diameter and represents a victory by “Best Pal” at the 1990 Del Mar Futurity Stakes. The horse was ridden to victory by Pat Valenzuela with a winning time of 1:36.40.
