DEL MAR, Calif. – Every time one looked up it seemed like another gaggle of Breeders’ Cup runners were passing by the grandstand, going in one direction or another, many to and from the starting gate or paddock, on the main track and over the turf course as well at Del Mar on Wednesday. This was the busiest morning here by far with all the players currently on the grounds and the first Breeders’ Cup races just 48 hours away.

DEL MAR, Calif. – Sweet Azteca and Tamara do not have a chance to recapture their former glory, after all.
The two favorites for the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint both were scratched Saturday morning, leaving a field of seven. Fee Blanche was scratched early in the week.
Sweet Azteca and Tamara, Grade 1 winners in 2024 and 2023, appeared to have resuscitated their careers. Both were coming off sharp wins and were listed 2-1 and 7-2, respectively, in the Filly and Mare Sprint, race 4 Saturday. In their absence, trainer Bob Baffert has a stranglehold on the race.
DEL MAR, Calif. – Last year, a horse whose connections were intending to run in the $7 million Breeders’ Cup Classic instead detoured to the $1 million Dirt Mile and won the race.
When Full Serrano goes for a repeat in the Dirt Mile on Saturday at Del Mar, he will be facing a horse whose connections are found in similar circumstances.
DEL MAR, Calif. - Sovereignty, the dual-classic winner and morning-line favorite for Saturday’s $7 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar, will be scratched from that race after the 3-year-old developed another fever, trainer Bill Mott said Wednesday morning.
“We’re going to scratch,” Mott said. “He developed a fever yesterday afternoon, his temp shot up again, we retreated him. That basically made our decision.”

DEL MAR, Calif. – As if a $2 million purse and the honor of becoming a Breeders’ Cup winner were not enough, a division championship is also certain to be at stake when nine 2-year-old fillies square off at 1 1/16 miles Friday at Del Mar in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies.

DEL MAR, Calif. – Precise holds the distinction as the future-book favorite for the Group 1 English 1000 Guineas at Newmarket Racecourse next May, one of that country’s most historic races for 3-year-old fillies.
Precise may end her 2025 season with a piece of American racing history if she runs to expectation in Friday’s $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar.

DEL MAR - The Aidan O’Brien show, always a highlight when the potent stable takes to the track for the first time at the Breeders’ Cup no matter the venue, became Aidan and Sons this year at Del Mar.
The group consisted of 13 O’Brien horses led by Aidan’s army of eight Breeders’ Cup contenders along with five others trained by his sons Joseph and Donnacha.
DEL MAR, Calif. – Ted Noffey is on the outside, but he’s hardly an outsider.
A winner of his first three starts, all when starting from outside post positions, Ted Noffey will start as a heavy favorite in Friday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Del Mar from the outside again in a seven-horse field.
“I guess you wouldn’t be looking to dirt-school him for the first time in the Breeders’ Cup,” said Pletcher, who trains Ted Noffey for Spendthrift Farm. “He’s got enough tactical speed to get over and get in a good position, good rhythm, hopefully not complicated.”
