ARCADIA, Calif. – All the principal runners from Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita, including the victorious Fort Larned, emerged from the race in good order, and most will remain in training for next year, their respective trainers said Sunday morning.

Fort Larned left Sunday morning for a flight to Kentucky, where he will be in light training at Churchill Downs before heading to Florida during the winter to begin his 2013 campaign, trainer Ian Wilkes said.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Steve Asmussen was hoarse Sunday morning, apparently because he had rooted too enthusiastically for a horse. Asmussen seemed tired but very happy when all alone trackside at Santa Anita, just a few feet and a few hours removed from where and when he greeted the victorious Tapizar following the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Fort Larned’s thrilling victory over Mucho Macho Man in the Classic completed an all Breeders’ Cup pick six that returned $419,245 for a $2 wager Saturday at Santa Anita.

ARCADIA, Calif. - The first three finishers of Friday's Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf will scatter across North American and Europe in coming days.

Race winner Zagora is scheduled to be sold on Monday evening at the Fasig-Tipton November sale. She has likely made the final start of her career, finishing with 10 wins in 22 starts, earnings of $2,368,589 and an expected title of champion turf female of 2012.

Marketing Mix and The Fugue will be given winter rests, but they could meet again.

Total commingled handle for the 10 races at Santa Anita on Friday, including six Breeders' Cup races, was down 5 percent compared with the Friday card at Churchill Downs last year, according to figures released by Breeders' Cup.

The decline, from $50.05 million last year to $47.58 million this year, was the second consecutive drop in handle for the Friday card, which was added when Breeders' Cup expanded to 11 races in 2007. Since then, the number of Breeders' Cup races has increased to 15, with six on Friday and nine on Saturday.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said that Questing, who was eased entering the backstretch and subsequently vanned off following Friday’s Breeders’ Cup Ladies' Classic, showed no signs of any serious injury after being examined upon returning to her barn.

“She cooled out fine,” said McLaughlin, who trains Questing for Godolphin Racing. “She has no major injuries. She was never on the bridle. She just did not want to perform today.”

McLaughlin said Questing would ship out to Kentucky on Monday.

ARCADIA, Calif. - It was a disappointing ending to what had been a terrific day for trainer Chad Brown.

On top of the world after saddling Zagora to a victory in Friday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf, Brown was knocked down a few pegs when Awesome Feather, unbeaten in 10 previous starts, finished sixth, 10 lengths behind Royal Delta in the $2 million Ladies’ Classic at Santa Anita.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Three days after Hurricane Sandy ripped through New York, everything looks pretty normal at Belmont Park. More than 100 trees fell there during the storm, but by Friday morning they had all been cleared and training had returned to normal after being suspended earlier in the week.

A look across the street, though, reveals that all is not yet well. A line of cars at the lone open gas station stretches several blocks and snakes around the corner, no end of it in sight.

ARCADIA, Calif. – With the recent retirement of Chantal Sutherland, Rosie Napravnik has inherited the role as racing’s most high-profile active female jockey.

There was a time when Napravnik tried to hide the fact she was a female jockey, riding under the pseudonym A. R. Napravnik. (Her given first name is Anna).

“That was when I was trying to get myself started,” said Napravnik, who began her career on the Maryland circuit in 2005. “That was actually [trainer] Dickie Small’s idea.”

ARCADIA, Calif. – At age 8, the venerable gelding California Flag has been out to see the world. Bred and generally campaigned in California, he has traveled east the past two years to race in Kentucky. But that was nothing. During the winter of 2009-10, California Flag went the other direction when he left California, shipping to Hong Kong, where he finished a close fifth in the $1,548,000 Hong Kong Sprint, and to Dubai, where he was a good third in the $1 million Al Quoz Sprint in March 2010.
