The parent company of Santa Anita plans to launch later this year a counterpart to the Pegasus World Cup program held at Gulfstream Park on Saturday.
Belinda Stronach, the chairwoman of the parent company for both tracks, 1/ST Racing, told the Associated Press on Friday that the California Crown for 3-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles will be held at Santa Anita on Sept. 28, the first weekend of the track’s autumn meeting.
PALM BEACH, Fla. – Nearly three decades after winning his first Eclipse Award for outstanding trainer, Bill Mott won his fourth for the job he did in 2023, campaigning three individual champions including Cody’s Wish, who was also crowned Horse of the Year.
Mott, who the Eclipse Award in 1995, 1996, and 2011, became the seventh trainer to win at least four Eclipse Awards, joining Todd Pletcher (8), Bobby Frankel (5), Laz Barrera (4), D. Wayne Lukas (4), Bob Baffert (4), and Chad Brown (4).
PALM BEACH, Fla. - Cody’s Wish, whose bond with a young man stricken with a rare genetic disorder became a feel-good story for horse racing the last two years, was honored for his on-track achievement in 2023 by being named Horse of the Year, it was announced Thursday at a black-tie ceremony held at The Breakers resort.
Cody’s Wish received 134 of the 219 ballots cast, outdistancing fellow finalists White Abarrio (37) and Idiomatic (21). Also receiving votes were Up to the Mark (9), Arcangelo (6), Auguste Rodin (6), Elite Power (4), and Practical Move (1).

The repeat win by Cody’s Wish in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile has been named the NTRA Moment of the Year, the administrators of the award announced on Wednesday, one day prior to the Eclipse Awards ceremony, where the connections of the horse will be acknowledged.
The administrators of the $20 million Saudi Cup, the richest race in the world, will recommend the disqualification of Maximum Security from the colt’s 2020 win in the race on charges that his trainer, Jason Servis, committed “substantial breaches of the rules” for the race related to his arrest and conviction on drug misbranding charges in the United States.
Bob Baffert and Zedan Racing will drop their appeal of a ruling by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to disqualify Medina Spirit from the 2021 Kentucky Derby and issue Baffert a 90-day suspension for the horse’s positive drug test after the race, Baffert said in a social-media post Monday night.
It is expected to be another big night for Godolphin Racing when the Eclipse Awards for outstanding achievement in Thoroughbred racing in 2023 are announced Thursday night at the Breakers Palm Beach in South Florida.
In 2022, Godolphin, the racing arm of Dubai’s ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, won Eclipse Awards for outstanding owner and breeder and had its Modern Games recognized as champion male turf horse.
Idiomatic, all but certain to be named champion older female of 2023 at Thursday’s Eclipse Awards, is returning for another season of racing as a 5-year-old of 2024.
Garrett O’Rourke, general manager of Juddmonte USA, said in a Monday morning text message that Idiomatic was in light training at Juddmonte and would join the Fair Grounds string of trainer Brad Cox in two weeks.
