Flavien Prat won seven races on Sunday’s card on the final day of the Belmont at the Big A meet, establishing a New York Racing Association record for wins by a jockey on a single card. 

Nineteen jockeys had won six races on a card - Ramon Dominguez did it three times - and there had been 25 occasions on which that happened. Prat won six consecutive races on the card, making him the seventh rider to do that. 

DEL MAR, Calif. - The connections of White Abarrio, upset about the circumstances surrounding the on-track scratch of their horse just minutes before the start of Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile at Del Mar, said they do plan on racing the horse again. 

“He’s definitely going to race again,” Mark Cornett, part owner of White Abarrio, said Sunday morning at Del Mar. “There’s no reason not to race the horse again.” 

DEL MAR, Calif. - She’s Quality, who was pulled up in the opening furlong of Saturday’s $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar, was euthanized on Sunday morning at a Southern California veterinary clinic because of complications from a pelvis injury.

She’s Quality’s death was reported on social media by trainer Jack Davison.

The message, in part, said, “I am devastated to report that our stable star She’s Quality has passed away, having suffered a pelvic fracture during the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint.”

DEL MAR, Calif. - Admittedly hung over, behind dark sunglasses, wearing a wide-brim hat with Torrey Pines emblazoned on it and a Shohei Ohtani T-shirt, Yoshito Yahagi could have been mistaken for any jubilant Los Angeles Dodgers fan early Sunday morning. 

Except the Ohtani shirt was underneath a red jacket with “Forever Young” stitched on it and Yahagi was addressing a gaggle of media the morning after the Japan-based and -bred Forever Young won the $7 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar. 

DEL MAR, Calif. - Tamara, scratched from Saturday’s $1 million Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint by veterinarians, will be considered for the Grade 1 Matriarch Stakes for fillies and mares at a mile on turf at Del Mar on Nov. 30 pending an examination, trainer Richard Mandella said on Sunday.

Tamara was the 7-2 second choice on the morning line for the Filly and Mare Sprint. Tamara, a winner of 3 of 5 starts, has never raced on turf.

“I’ve got to work on the turf and think about that,” Mandella said of the $300,000 Matriarch.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Despite getting an extra hour’s sleep the night before, trainer Jose D’Angelo still sounded a bit drained from the emotions of the previous afternoon when he returned to his barn early Sunday morning to check on his two Breeders’ Cup winners, Bentornato and Shisospicy.

“It was such an amazing day, so exciting, but there was also so much pressure that goes along with it just getting these horses here,” D’Angelo said. “We were supposed to go out to a party last night to celebrate. Instead, we were so tired, we just stayed in and ate dinner at the hotel.”

DEL MAR, Calif. – Last December, when he attended the Global Symposium on Racing in Arizona, trainer Todd Pletcher remembers telling fellow Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert that he was light on 3-year-olds for the 2025 spring classics.

Pletcher proved prophetic as he missed his first Kentucky Derby in 21 years and ran longshots in both the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.

“Definitely, the cupboard was pretty bare this time last year,” Pletcher said.

 DEL MAR, Calif. – Mystik Dan, the 2024 Kentucky Derby winner, was scratched out of Saturday’s $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile and Sweet Azteca and Tamara, the top two morning-line choices in Saturday’s $1 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint were all scratched out of their respective races by regulatory veterinarians Saturday morning. 

Atsila was also scratched by the vets out of the Filly and Mare Turf.

Total commingled betting on the five Breeders’ Cup races held on Friday at Del Mar in Southern California was down 10.8 percent, according to charts of the races.

The betting total for the five races was dragged down by a 30 percent drop in betting on the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, which had a six-horse field this year, compared to 10 horses last year. Betting on the Juvenile dropped nearly $2.42 million, from $8.04 million last year to $5.62 million this year.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Precise, the 6-5 morning-line favorite for Friday’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, and Blackout Time, the third choice in Friday’s $2 million Juvenile, have been scratched from their respective races, according to their connections.

Aidan O’Brien, trainer of Precise, told Matt Chapman of At the Races, that Precise coughed 10 times.

Kenny McPeek, the trainer of Blackout Time, said he was perplexed about why the vets scratched Blackout Time from the Juvenile.
