DEL MAR, Calif. - Trainer Julio Canani has won the Breeders’ Cup Mile twice, and he may take aim at the race again on Nov. 3 at Santa Anita with My Best Brother, who gave Canani a record fifth win in the Del Mar Derby on Sunday.

Canani’s previous Del Mar Derby winners were Blackdoun (2004), Val Royal (1999), Ladies Din (1998), and Silver Circus (1988). Val Royal won the BC Mile in 2001 at Belmont Park. Canani also won the BC Mile with Silic in 1999 at Gulfstream.

DEL MAR, Calif. – He’s as goofy as ever, with his fractured English, cheeky jokes, and oftentimes indecipherable accent, but Julio Canani can still flat-out train. He won the Del Mar Derby for the fifth time on Sunday as My Best Brother led from start to finish in the Grade 2, $300,000 turf event, erasing a bitter setback last time out in the La Jolla Handicap.

“The jockey fall asleep the other day,” Canani said, referring to jockey Martin Garcia.

SHAKOPEE, Minn.– A record Festival Day crowd of 17,053 witnessed Minnesota’s championship day of racing at Canterbury Park.  The previous record of 11,214 was shattered on a gorgeous late summer afternoon.

The large crowd saw trainer Mac Robertson and jockey Tanner Riggs sweep the two Minnesota Classics.

In the $50,000 Minnesota Classic, Coconino Slim took command early in the 1 1/16-mile race and never looked back, turning back a late run by Samendra while drawing off to win by 2 1/4 lengths as the even-money favorite paying $4.20. The time of the race was 1:44.28.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Jockey Ramon Dominguez tied one record and broke another Sunday at Saratoga.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y .-  For the second year in a row, trainer Tony Dutrow won the Grade 1 Spinaway and for the second year in a row he did so at the direct expense of a filly trained by Wesley Ward after So Many Ways parlayed a perfect trip into a 2 1/2-length victory over the 22-1 Sweet Shirley Mae on Sunday in Saratoga’s most prestigious race for 2-year-old fillies. Teen Pauline, who set a track record in her debut, finished  third as the 3-5 favorite.

Brave Dave overcame a poor start to score a wire-to-wire win in Sunday’s Grade 3, $101,000 Sapling Stakes for 2-year-olds at Monmouth Park.

Sent off as the 7-5 favorite after flashing high speed and fading late in the Grade 2 Sanford at Saratoga, Brave Dave ($5.40) stumbled badly when the starting gate opened, bumping Coach A.J., but recovered and was quickly sent to the front by jockey Paco Lopez.

“He took a really bad stumble out of the gate, but I know this horse and how fast he is,” Lopez said.  “He rebounded pretty quickly and was in front quickly.” 

ETOBICOKE, Ontario—The flashy chestnut Seen It All Before  captured  his first stakes after a perfect stalking trip Sunday at Woodbine in the $125,000 Vice Regent.

Contreras angled Seen It All Before wide early in the stretch, and he went by Jenna’s Wabbit and Ultimate Destiny with an eighth of a mile remaining en route to a 1 1/2-length tally, in 1:35.17. 

The 5-year-olds John Scott and Kettle Corn are becoming a buddy act.

After finishing second and third in the Grade 2 San Diego Handicap on July 28, they were one-two in the Harry Brubaker Stakes over a mile on Saturday. They are both being pointed for the $250,000 Awesome Again Stakes at Santa Anita on Sept. 29, a race formerly known as the Goodwood Stakes.
