DEL MAR, Calif. – Late-August stakes at Del Mar are ideal for Fed Biz.

In 2012, Fed Biz won the $100,000 El Cajon Stakes for 3-year-olds over a mile Aug. 31. On Sunday, he won a more valuable prize, the $251,750 Pat O’Brien Stakes over seven furlongs.

Fed Biz set a track record of 1:21.12, slightly faster than the 1:21.17 mark set by Lewis Michael in the same race in 2008. The victory gave Fed Biz a fees-paid berth to the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita in November. Last November, Fed Biz finished eighth of nine in the BC Dirt Mile at Santa Anita.
