ARCADIA, Calif. - Magician, the winner of Saturday’s $3 million Breeders’ Cup Turf at Santa Anita, will be part of a formidable team of 4-year-olds for trainer Aidan O’Brien in 2014.

O’Brien said in a press conference on Saturday that Magician will stay in training next year, as will Ruler of the World, the winner of the 2013 English Derby. Add Kingsbarns, a Group 1 winner in England in 2012, and O’Brien’s powerful stable should have strong representation in the major European stakes for older horses.

Mike Machowsky said the hoof abscess bothering Caracortado is so minor that he hopes his homebred gelding will be ready for the $100,000 Hollywood Turf Express on Dec. 8.

“It wasn’t that big a deal except for the timing,” said Machowsky. “We should have it healed up and get him back in training so that we’re ready for the next one.”

ARCADIA, Calif. - Early Sunday morning, before heading to the airport to catch a flight back home to upstate New York, trainer Jeremiah Englehart was still savoring the victory by Ria Antonia in Saturday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, not ready to look too far ahead in the filly’s future.

That’s okay; his owner was already doing that for him.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Beholder, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2012 who won the biggest race of her career in Friday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Distaff, will stay in training in 2014, trainer Richard Mandella said on Sunday.

Owned by B. Wayne Hughes, Beholder is a leading contender for champion 3-year-old filly of 2013 following her win in the BC Distaff against top mare Royal Delta and the 3-year-old Princess of Sylmar, a winner of four Grade 1 races in Kentucky and New York earlier this year.

Beholder won three Grade 1 races this year prior to Friday’s BC Distaff.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Buff Bradley thought he was having a good time all week in California, but he didn’t know for sure. Only a big effort from Groupie Doll in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint would allow him to look back and say: “That was a lot of fun.”

One evening early in the week, out on the Arcadia town, Bradley was reminiscing about one of the first times he ever won a graded stakes and how it was going to allow him to live out a fantasy. It was at the Grade 2 Indiana Derby at Hoosier Park in October 2004.

ARCADIA, Calif.  -   Did Secret Circle turn his three-week 2013 campaign into an Eclipse Award-winning campaign with his victory in Saturday’s $1.5 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint?

That will be the question voters have to answer after Secret Circle moved to the head of what has been a topsy-turvy division all season long with his game neck decision over a fast closing Laugh Track in the Sprint.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Wise Dan does not long linger over his Breeders’ Cup triumphs in Southern California. Late Saturday afternoon, for the second year in a row, he won the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile, and, just like last year, the horse left Santa Anita in the middle of Saturday night. By noon Eastern on Sunday, Wise Dan had arrived at the airport in Louisville, Ky., with only a van ride back to trainer Charlie LoPresti’s training base at Keeneland left on his travel itinerary.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The morning after reaching the pinnacle of her racing career, trainer Kathy Ritvo was both excited and contemplative over what she and her horse, Mucho Macho Man, had accomplished in winning the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday at Santa Anita.

“It’s hard to beat today, or yesterday,” Ritvo said Sunday morning as she stood near her prized horse.

It’s also, she said, hard to beat what has happened to her in the six years since she underwent heart transplant surgery.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Fueled by a carryover of $891,813 from Friday’s program, the 50-cent pick five on Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup program paid $23,665.90 on a day when the pool reached a California record $6,438,509.

The record pick-five pool was achieved on the first five races of the 12-race card.

The Breeders’ Cup had guaranteed pools on four multi-race wagers on Saturday, and all surpassed the advertised minimums. Friday, the pick six had a guaranteed pool of $1 million, but attracted only $891,102 in bets.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The upset win by London Bridge in Friday’s $500,000 Breeders’ Cup Marathon proved Breeders’ Cup winners can come from anywhere.
