Big Macher possible for Cary Grant

Big Macher, who finished ninth in the $1,380,000 Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Santa Anita last Saturday, may start at the Del Mar autumn meeting.

Trainer Richard Baltas said Big Macher will be considered for the $100,000 Cary Grant Stakes for California-breds over seven furlongs on Nov. 23. The Cary Grant was formerly known as the On Trust Stakes when run in the past at Hollywood Park.

Big Macher stumbled at the start of the BC Sprint and never recovered. He was last of 14 until early stretch and was beaten 4 1/4 lengths by the 19-1 winner Work All Week.

“I don’t know what happened,” Baltas said of the BC Sprint. “He picked a bad time to break last.”

Big Macher, 4, has won 5 of 13 starts and earned $496,678. He won the Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes at Del Mar in July, one of three stakes wins this year for the former maiden claimer who races for Tom Mansor and Tachycardia Stables.
