He tied the mark winning the fourth race aboard Miu Miu for leading trainer Bill Mott. It was the 20th win of the meet for Mott, which also equaled the meet record, established by Todd Pletcher in 1998.

"It's great equaling the record, but the record doesn't mean a thing if I don't beat Johnny [Velazquez] for the title," said Bailey. "Right now my main goal is to finish the meet with one more win than John."

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Cashier's Dream, a Michigan-bred who launched her career racing under a $50,000 claiming tag, added her name to a list of Spinaway Stakes winners that includes champions Ruffian, Affectionately, Top Flight, and Numbered Account with an easy six-length victory over Smok'n Frolic in the Grade 1 dash for 2-year-old fillies at Saratoga on Friday.

DEL MAR, Calif.- Saturday's program at Del Mar is highlighted by a pick six carryover of $158,022 on the 10-race program.

The pick six covers the fifth through 10th races, which on Saturday includes two stakes. The carryover was caused after a string of longshots early in Friday's pick six were too difficult for bettors to link together.

Here are the changes for Saturday's pick six races:

In the fifth race, the also eligibles are scratched, leaving 10 to go a mile on turf for $45,000 to $50,000 claimers.

DEL MAR, Calif.- Unbeaten Tamara Princess dragged jockey Mike Smith to the front on the final turn of the $81,400 Torrey Pines Stakes at Del Mar on Friday and cruised to a third straight victory.
