INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Tres Borrachos was an overlooked 30-1 outsider when he rallied through the Churchill Downs stretch to finish third in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5.

There will be no longshot prices when Tres Borrachos starts as the expected favorite in Saturday’s $100,000 Native Diver Handicap at Hollywood Park.

DEL MAR, Calif. – It was 20 years ago this summer that Del Mar put on its first $1 million race, the Pacific Classic, an event, next to opening day, that has become the biggest day of the season here. Marty Jones remembers that race well. Just 19 at the time, Jones had a ringside seat as Best Pal, trained by his father, Gary, came storming down the stretch to win it.

“That place was just crazy that day,” Jones remembered the other day. “It was the old grandstand, and it was just packed. It had a Derby-like feel.”
