ELMONT, N.Y. - Trainer Bill Mott has run at least one horse in each of the last 17 runnings of the Breeders' Cup. If he were to keep that streak alive, his representative this year would most likely be Stroll in the Mile.
Stroll registered his fourth consecutive victory on Sunday, slipping through an opening along the rail in upper stretch and drawing clear for a two-length victory in the Grade 2, $200,000 for 3-year-olds at Belmont Park. Kicken Kris, the Grade 1 Secretariat winner, held off Joe Bear, the Secretariat runner-up, for second by a nose.
SAN MATEO, Calif. - Jockey Omar Figueroa was taken to Peninsula Hospital for X-rays on his left shoulder and wrist, while jockey Joe Castro apparently was uninjured after a horrific spill in Sunday's seventh race at Bay Meadows.
Figueroa's mount Always the Winner suffered a compound fracture of the left front leg at the quarter pole of a 1 1/16-mile race for $16,000 claimers.
SAN MATEO, Calif. - Blue Blood Boot ($10.60), a maiden making only his third start, overpowered his rivals in the lane to win the $68,550 Half Moon Bay Handicap at Bay Meadows on Sunday.
Blue Blood Boot relaxed nicely behind Obermeister and Standard Setter, who engaged in a pace duel before Standard Setter took a bad step near the half-mile pole and was eased.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Winter Whiskey mowed down the fading speed under Jono Jones to post a big upset in Sunday's $134,250 Swynford Stakes at Woodbine
Winter Whiskey raced far off the dueling favorites, Estevan and San Diego Blowout, in the seven-furlong dash for 2-year-olds. He loomed into contention while four wide midway on the turn, and overhauled Estevan nearing the eighth pole before drawing off to prevail by three and a quarter lengths.
SAN MATEO, Calif. - Ihla Grande ($45) unleashed a strong late kick, catching favored Lindsay Jean near the wire as she won the $60,950 Hillsborough Handicap by a head at Bay Meadows on Sunday.
"I did what the boss said," winning jockey Francisco Duran said of a morning phone call with trainer Paulo Lobo. "He said to save as much ground as I could."
Lindsay Jean looked as if she would win her second straight stakes over the Longden Turf Course as she sat in fourth behind a quick, contested pace involving Marty's Zee, A B Noodle and Pheiffer.
BOSSIER CITY, La. - Ten Most Wanted solidified his status as a Breeders' Cup Classic contender on Saturday when he edged past Soto under a hand ride for a half-length win the Grade 2, $500,000 on Saturday.
