Mucho Macho Man won the biggest race of the Breeders’ Cup, and nobody should be surprised that he earned the biggest Beyer Speed Figure at Santa Anita, a 112.  But racing fans who examine all the figures on Saturday may suspect an error in the stakes for 2-year-olds.  How could New Year’s Day win the Juvenile in slower time than the Juvenile Fillies and earn a higher figure?

New Year’s Day received a figure of 88 after running 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.52. She’s a Tiger and Ria Antonia each got an 82 after covering the same distance in 1:43.02 and finishing a nose apart.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez will remain in a Pasadena hospital for four or five more days after undergoing emergency surgery Saturday afternoon to remove his spleen, according to his agent, Angel Cordero Jr.

In addition to having his spleen removed, Velazquez needed fluid drained from his pancreas, according to Cordero, who has kept in contact with Leona Velazquez, Johnny’s wife.

“They might let him out in four or five days if everything goes well,” Cordero said. “It’s nothing life-threatening.”

ARCADIA, Calif. - A roller-coaster day of experiences and emotions ended on a down note for trainer Bob Baffert, who watched Game On Dude finish far back as the 8-5 favorite in Saturday’s $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita.

Contesting a hot pace while three-wide under Mike Smith, Game On Dude faded to ninth in the stretch, beaten 11 1/2 lengths.

ARCADIA, Calif. – A massive carryover of $891,813 in the 50-cent pick five gives bettors an early jackpot wager to conquer on Saturday’s star-studded Breeders’ Cup program at Santa Anita.

Other major bets were hit on Friday’s Breeders’ Cup program, with lucrative payoffs. The $2 pick six paid $106,839 on a day when the pool failed to reach the guaranteed $1 million, drawing $891,012 in wagers.

ARCADIA, Calif. - The two beasts of the East, Royal Delta and Princess of Sylmar, faded away in Friday’s Breeders’ Cup Distaff as gently as the late-afternoon sunshine slipping from the Southern California sky.

With a half-mile to run in the Distaff, Royal Delta, a two-time champion and two-time Breeders’ Cup winner, already had started losing position. She finished fourth. Princess of Sylmar, so special winning the Kentucky Oaks, the Alabama, and the Beldame, barely got out of a gallop, checking in last of six.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Beholder strongly enhanced her chances of being named champion 3-year-old filly with an overpowering victory in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff on Friday at Santa Anita, a day when the speed-biased nature of the main track was a major talking point.
