DEL MAR, Calif. – The well-traveled Banned found California as hospitable as some of the other places he has visited this year.

It was his fifth win at the New Mexico meet that closes Monday. During the season, Llano Teller also took the Grade 1, $700,000 Ruidoso Derby.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Watching Grace Hall train in the weeks following her debut win at Delaware Park gave trainer Tony Dutrow the feeling that running her in Sunday’s Grade 1 Spinaway at Saratoga was the right thing to do even though she had just the one start.
“We knew there was a lot of risk here, we knew we were in deep water,’’ Dutrow said. “I was led to believe to take the chance today; everybody supported me and here we are.’’
