(GIII) Fluke (2011) HUMBERTO ASCANIO Birthdate: July 12, 1947 Birthplace: Guadalajara, Mexico Wife: Maureen Children: Michael, Matthew, Mark, Bridget, Olga, Humberto Residence: Arcadia Highlights After taking the reins of Bobby Frankel s stable following the Hall of Fame trainer s death due to lymphoma on Nov. 16, 2009, the longtime Frankel aide saddled a pair of Grade I winners during Hollywood Park s 2009 fall meeting: Fluke, an upset winner of the $300,000 Citation Handicap, and favored Ventura in the $300,000 Matriarch. Ventura s triumph transpired the day after Fluke had registered a 9-1 upset and marked the end of her career after Frankel had asked Juddmonte Farms to delay a projected retirement following Ventura s runner-up finish in the Breeders Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. He knew she was going to win this one, an emotional Ascanio said of Frankel following the Matriarch. They wanted to retire her a winner.

Eclipse Award winner: 2008, 2009 Eclipse Award winners trained: Curlin, 2007, 2008 Horse of the Year, 2008 Older Male; Rachel Alexandra, 2009 Horse of the Year, Year-Old Filly; Kodiak Kowboy, 2009 Sprinter Milestones: 6,000th career winner, Nov. 18, 2011, Basalt at Remington Park; 5,000th career winner, Sept. 11, 2009, Passion Rules at Woodbine Racecourse; 4,000th career winner, Feb. 17, 2008, J J s Bud at Oaklawn Park. On his 46th birthday, Nov. 18, 2011, Asmussen became the youngest and only the fifth trainer in North American racing history to reach the 6,000-win milestone when Basalt captured the first race at Remington Park in Oklahoma City. The late Dale Baird is the all-time wins leader with 9,445. When Asmussen reached the 6,000-win plateau, the others were Jack Van Berg at 6,409; King Leatherbury, 6,331, and Jerry Hollendorfer, 6,057. Baird was the previous youngest, 57, when he reached the 6,000 milestone in As an illustration of the frequency of his victories, Asmussen s 6,000th win was achieved just over two years and two months after he had reached 5,000. Earned his second straight Eclipse Award as the nation s outstanding trainer in 2009 while breaking his own single-season high with a record 650 wins from 2,944 starters and earning $21,876,405 in purses as he trained North America s Horse of the Year for a third successive year.

7 Rachel Alexandra won Horse of the Year esteem in 2009 with a perfect 8-0 season that included historic triumphs over 3-year-old males in the Preakness Stakes, Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park and against older males in Saratoga s Woodward Stakes. First Eclipse Award came in 2008 as Curlin won a second successive Horse of the Year title and Asmussen realized a personal earnings high of $24,082,524 from 618 winners. His earnings topped all North American trainers in both 2008 and He has led in victories in 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2005, 2004 and After winning the Preakness and the Breeders Cup Classic in 2007 at Monmouth Park, Curlin returned in 2008 with Grade I triumphs in the Dubai World Cup, Stephen Foster Handicap at Churchill Downs and Belmont Park s Jockey Club Gold Cup. Victory in the latter elevated Curlin s earnings over the $10 million plateau, making him the richest American-based horse of all-time. Curlin was retired to Lane s End Farm in Kentucky following a fourth-place finish in the 2008 Breeders Cup Classic. Rachael Alexandra was turned over to Asmussen following her purchase by his then main client, Jess Jackson, of Stonestreet Stable, on the heels of a 20-length victory in the 2009 Kentucky Oaks. Jackson died in April of In addition to the total of five Eclipse Awards achieved by Curlin and Rachael Alexandra, an Asmussen trainee picked up a sixth in 2009 when Kodiak Kowboy was named the nation s top sprinter. Kodiak Kowboy sped to victories in the Grade I Vosburgh at Belmont and in Aqueduct s Grade I Cigar Mile Handicap. My Miss Aurelia (Juvenile Fillies) and Regally Ready (Turf Sprint) joined Curlin as Breeders Cup champions for Asmussen at Churchill Downs in My Miss Aurelia s three-length victory extended her unbeaten record to four starts and gained an apparent lock on Eclipse Award voting. Regally Ready s win was his sixth of the year in nine starts as a 4-year-old. As evidence of the diversity of his far-flung racing operation, Asmussen was the leading trainer in 2010 at Churchill Downs, Oaklawn Park, Fair Grounds and Monmouth Park (tie). He had divisions in New York, Chicago, Kentucky, Texas and Louisiana before expanding to Southern California for Santa Anita s 2009/2010 meet where his runners won four stakes races. The Southern California operation is handled by Scott Blasi. Scott Blasi: Born Aug. 24, 1973 in Independence, Kansas... Decided to leave Oklahoma State University and join his older brother, Greg, in working for Asmussen as an exercise rider... Steve and I clicked right away, says Blasi, and it s worked out well ever since.... Relinquished role as exercise rider in 2005 to concentrate on supervising daily training, but sill rides stable pony to oversee duties... Blasi was the vast stable s trainer of record for a six-month period starting July 10, 2006, when Asmussen served a suspension for a medication violation... During that time, he claimed Golden Hare, who went on to win 14 races in 2007 and rank as North America s winningest horse before being claimed away in Saddled Appealing Zophie to victory in Grade I Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga in 2008 during Asmussen s absence... Has no plans to branch out on his own: We ve had such a good thing going and to be around these kind of horses is not something I want to walk away from any time soon. Personal Learned the business from his parents, Keith and Marilyn, both trainers. Helped his parents walk horses and muck stalls by the time he was 5. Lost part of his thumb in a childhood accident while holding a horse though a chain link fence. Took out his jockey s license at the age of 16 but outgrew the venture after riding for three years in New Mexico, California and New York. His brother, Cash, was a top rider. Cash Asmussen won an Eclipse Award as the nation s premier apprentice in 1979 before becoming a champion jockey in Europe. The Asmussen family operates El Primero Training Center in Laredo, Texas. steve asmussen

14 Eclipse Awards: 1997, 1998, Training Titles: Santa Anita: 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2011; Oak Tree: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2009, 2010; Hollywood Park: 1999 fall, 2001 fall, 2011; Del Mar: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2002, Former Quarter Horse trainer whose transition to Thoroughbreds was completed in late 1991 impacted the sport s Triple Crown races like few trainers before him between 1997 and 2002, winning an Eclipse Award three successive years during that span beginning in Fueled by Cavonnier s nose loss to Grindstone in the 1996 Kentucky Derby, returned in 1997 to win with Silver Charm before adding the Preakness, took both those Triple Crown events the following year with Real Quiet and again in 2002 with War Emblem. Meantime, his Point Given took the 2001 Preakness and Belmont Stakes. The total was eight Triple Crown victories within six years, and he had become the first trainer in history to win back-to-back runnings of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. For the third time in 2002, won the first two legs of the Triple Crown, this time with War Emblem. The colt won the Kentucky Derby at odds of 20-1 after being purchased by The Thoroughbred Corp. on Baffert s recommendation. War Emblem s bid for the Triple Crown failed after stumbling at the start of the Belmont Stakes and finishing eighth. War Emblem s failure to become the first Triple Crown champion since Affirmed in 1978 followed narrow losses by Silver Charm and Real Quiet in their similar ventures. Silver Charm came within a length when overtaken by Touch Gold in the 1997 Belmont. Real Quiet was nipped by a nose one year later when beaten by Victory Gallop in his Triple Crown quest in the Belmont Stakes. Following a six-year Triple Crown dry spell, gained his fifth Preakness victory in 2010 when the previous year s 2-year-old champion Lookin At Lucky triumphed by three-quarters of a length after being denied as the 6-1 favorite in the Kentucky Derby and finishing sixth. Lookin At Lucky, victorious in the 2009 Hollywood Futurity, went on to add Monmouth Park s 2010 Haskell Invitational to his list of Grade I achievements. Lookin At Lucky became the second horse in as many years to win both the Preakness and Haskell, a feat accomplished one year previous by Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra. Baffert took the signature stakes races at both Santa Anita and Del Mar in 2010 when Misremembered captured the Santa Anita Handicap and Richard s Kid repeated in Del Mar s Pacific Classic. The Santa Anita based trainer ranked third nationally in earnings in Lookin At Lucky, meanwhile, became the first male horse in more than 30 years to win Eclipse Awards at ages 2 and 3. In 2011, Baffert became the only trainer other than H. A. (Jimmy) Jones in 1953 to saddle the winners of Santa Anita s two marquee races when Game on Dude posted a 14-1 upset in the Big Cap and Midnight Interlude won the Santa Anita Derby at odds of While winning 44 races during the meet, the Hall of Fame conditioner gained a record ninth Santa Anita training championship. When Drill connected at 4-1 odds in the Grade I Del Mar Futurity, Baffert won Del Mar s $250,000 competition for 2-year-olds for the 10th time in the event s last 16 runnings. He picked up his eighth Breeders Cup victory when Secret Circle scored at 2-5 odds in the fledgling 2011 Juvenile Sprint at Churchill Downs to remain unbeaten in three starts. Burst onto the Thoroughbred scene in 1992 while quickly en route to becoming one of the most recognizable figures in racing. Won the 1992 Breeders Cup Sprint with Thirty Slews for owner Mike Pegram, who later would race Real Quiet. Added Breeders Cup victories in 1998 when Silverbulletday and Excellent Meeting ran one-two in the Juvenile Fillies at Churchill Downs and in 2002 when Vindication took the Juvenile at Arlington Park. Gained his fourth and fifth Breeders Cup triumphs in 2007 with Midnight Lute in the Sprint and Indian Blessing in the Juvenile Fillies at Monmouth Park. Midnight Lute became the first repeat winner in the Breeders Cup Sprint during the 2008 event at Santa Anita while Baffert became the sixth trainer in Breeders Cup history to win the same race in consecutive years with the same horse. For the second successive year, the trainer saddled a pair of Breeders Cup winners with Midshipman victorious in the 2008 Juvenile. Midnight Lute, who would be retired following his repeat victory, came into the Sprint with only one previous start in 2008, a tenth in Del Mar s Pat O Brien Handicap following recovery from a hock injury. I ve never had a horse like him, Baffert said after his final victory. He s a beast a massive, beautiful horse. The perfect Thoroughbred.

15 Won his fourth Santa Anita Derby in 2009 with eventual Kentucky Derby runner-up Pioneerof the Nile following victories in the Robert B. Lewis and San Felipe Stakes and the 2008 Hollywood Futurity. Unleashed another crack sprinter in Zensational, a winner of three successive Grade I dashes in 2009 that included Hollywood Park s Triple Bend Handicap prior to the Bing Crosby and Pat O Brien at Del Mar where the trainer captured 5 of the track s 9 Grade I events. Ten years after winning Del Mar s Pacific Classic with General Challenge in 1999, saddled Richard s Kid to a 24-1 upset in the million-dollar event during a 2009 Labor Day weekend in which he won three Grade I races as Lookin at Lucky took the Del Mar Futurity while Zensational was victorious in the Pat O Brien. Lookin at Lucky added Oak Tree s Grade I Norfolk Stakes to his resume prior to a troubled head loss to Vale of York in the Breeders Cup Juvenile while emerging as a leader on the 2010 Triple Crown trail. Gained his third straight national earnings title in 2001 as runners earned $16,354,996. Point Given won four consecutive $1-million races that year: Preakness, Belmont, Travers and Haskell Invitational Handicap. Captain Steve captured the Dubai World Cup, the world s richest race that had been won by Silver Charm in Silver Charm was retired in June 1999 as the third-highest North American money earner with $6,944,369. Only Cigar ($9,999,815) and Skip Away (9,616,360) had earned more. Became the first trainer since Jimmy Smith (1946) to saddle the top two finishers in the Santa Anita Derby, when Indian Charlie and runner-up Real Quiet crossed the finish line 2 1/4 lengths apart in For good measure, repeated the feat in 1999 with General Challenge and Prime Timber. Point Given became his fourth Santa Anita Derby winner in Became first trainer to sweep Del Mar s five Grade I races - the Eddie Read, Del Mar Oaks, Del Mar Debutante, Pacific Classic and Ramona Handicap - in Pacific Classic winner General Challenge would give trainer his first victory in the Santa Anita Handicap one year later. Real Quiet defeated Budroyale by one-half length to provide first Hollywood Gold Cup triumph in Repeated with Congaree in Tied Gary Jones all-time record for wins at a Santa Anita meet in when saddling 47 winners. Won seventh consecutive Santa Anita title in with 43 wins to become the first trainer since R.H. McDaniel in the 1950s to win as many as five titles in a row. Set a record for wins at an Oak Tree meet in 1998 with 21, breaking Mike Mitchell s mark, and equaled that number the following year. Doug O Neill would exceed the Oak Tree mark by one victory in Became first trainer in Santa Anita history to win three stakes on one card on 1991 California Cup program. His streak of seven consecutive Del Mar training titles came to an end when supplanted by Doug O Neill in Reached plateau of 1,000 training victories at Del Mar on July 21, 2001, when Stormy Jack won the fourth race. Became Del Mar s all-time leading stakes-winning trainer on Aug. 19, 2006, when Behaving Badly won the Grade III Rancho Bernardo Handicap for conditioner s 75th stakes victory at the track, breaking a tie with the late Charlie Whittingham. Stable went bi-coastal during the summer of 2007 when trainer sent string to Saratoga where Midnight Lute took the Grade I Forego Handicap and J Be K, a 2-year-old, broke the course record with a 1:03.13 clocking for 5 1/2 furlongs in his victorious debut. Pair of victories in the Breeders Cup at Monmouth Park, including Midnight Lute s sensational score in the Sprint, gave the stable a huge lift after several subpar seasons. Won 60 races and over a half-million dollars with Quarter Horses in His best Quarter Horse was Gold Coast Express, 1986 World Champion and winner of over $700,000. Won prestigious Champion of Champions at Los Alamitos twice, with Gold Coast Express (1986) and Shawnee's Favorite (1988).

(GI-Hol) Unfurl the Flag (2005) Highlights First winner: Teri Sue at Golden Gate Fields, February, Eclipse Award winner trained: The Wicked North, 1994 Older Horse. Involved in one of the most controversial Santa Anita Handicaps in history when his The Wicked North crossed the finish line first in the 1994 Big Cap, only to be disqualified and placed fourth for interference. Stuka, who finished 1 1/2 lengths behind The Wicked North, was awarded the win amidst considerable controversy. The Wicked North nonetheless gained national honors as the year s leading older horse on the strength of victories in the San Antonio Handicap, Oaklawn Park Handicap and The Californian. The latter two races were Grade I events with the San Antonio a Grade II. Earned a Grade I win in 2005 when California-bred sprinter Unfurl the Flag captured his first graded race when victorious in Hollywood Park s Triple Bend Handicap. It was the 5-year-old gelding s fourth win in five starts at Hollywood Park and followed a two-length victory in the statebred Tiznow Stakes. In 2004, Unfurl the Flag had equaled the Santa Anita track record for seven furlongs while winning an allowance/optional claiming event. The time of 1:20.11 tied the mark set by Spectacular Bid in the 1980 Malibu Stakes (1:20, prior to timing in hundredths of a second). Of course, I was surprised, the trainer said afterward. Any time your horse equals a record by Spectacular Bid, you have to be stunned. Truly a Judge extended a winning streak to three when taking Santa Anita s San Gabriel Handicap on Jan. 1, 2004 as the 3-5 favorite after the race was moved from the turf to the main track following heavy rain. The trainer s $20,000 claim previously had won the Native Diver Handicap, also a Grade III, at Hollywood Park. david bernstein

(Dmr) Star Nicholas (2009) Highlights After Weemissfrankie had provided the trainer with not only his first graded stakes victory, but his first Grade I in the Del Mar Debutante, the unbeaten filly returned one month later in Santa Anita s Grade I, $250,000 Oak Leaf Stakes to mow down her opposition with a scintillating stretch run. She closed a couple of lengths inside the sixteenth pole to storm from third to first and defeat Candrea by one-half length. The pair of Grade I wins, on the heels of a maiden score, convinced Eurton that Weemissfrankie was worthy of becoming his first Breeders Cup starter, and she responded with a third-place finish in the $2-million Juvenile Fillies as the third choice at 5-1 behind victorious My Miss Aurelia (2-1) and Grace Hall (7-2). Her earnings in four starts rose to $535,800 Weemissfrankie, from Sunriver s first crop out of the Meadowlake mare Starinthemeadow, was purchased for $175,000 at Ocala in April. She was named for the late Hollywood actor Frank Alesia, who was part of the chestnut filly s ownership group along with his wife Sharon, Mike and Dawn Mellen s Bran Jam Stable and Joe Ciaglia s Ciaglia Stable. Eurton s best year in racing prior to 2011 was 2009 when his runners earned purses totaling $980,000 from 27 winners, 25 seconds and 26 thirds with 171 starters. His 2011 purse earnings were heightened by stakes campaigner She s Cheeky, second in Del Mar s Grade II Rancho Bernardo Handicap and third in Hollywood Park s Grade II Milady for the same connections as Weemissfrankie. Eurton s most accomplished runner prior to Weemissfrankie was Cee Dreams, winner of the $150,000 California Cup Matron Handicap at Santa Anita and the E. B. Johnston Stakes at Fairplex in Pomona in Star Nicholas became a multiple stakes winner for the trainer by taking the 2008 On Trust Handicap and the Windy Sands Handicap at Del Mar in In 2011 at Del Mar, he saddled Joker Face, Mike Smith s mount in the Battle of the Exes.

62 Highlights First winner: Glory Quest, $4,000 claiming race at Vallejo in First stakes winner: Los Gatos, 1993 West Twelve Ranch Stakes at Bay Meadows. First graded stakes winner: Freeport Flight, 1997 Princess Stakes at Hollywood. As a 3-year-old, Freeport Flight went on to finish second in the 1998 Honeymoon Handicap and Hollywood Oaks. First Grade I winner: Nashoba s Key, 2007 Vanity Handicap at Hollywood Park. Notched the biggest win of her career in stunning fashion when 25-1 shot Dancing in Silks gained his first graded stakes victory with a gritty nose triumph over Crown of Thorns in the $2 million Breeders Cup Sprint at Santa Anita on Nov. 7, Dancing in Silks, a California-bred gelding, was the second longest shot in the field of nine. His biggest previous win had been recorded one month earlier by a nose in Oak Tree s $100,000 California Cup Sprint Handicap. Nashoba s Key, a 4-year-old Warren B. Williamson homebred, did not make her first start until January of 2007, but rapidly became the best horse ever trained by Gaines while winning her first six starts including the Vanity and extending her run to the Grade II, $294,000 Clement L. Hirsch Handicap at Del Mar. She always trained like she had a lot of talent, commented the trainer. But to go from a Cal-bred maiden to a Grade I in five races, I can t say I expected that. Meanwhile, the daughter of Silver Hawk earned $623,460. After being named California-bred Horse of the Year for 2007 by the CTBA, Nashoba s Key came back in 2008 to capture Santa Anita s Grade I Santa Margarita Invitational Handicap to surpass $1.2 million in career earnings. But the 5-year-old daughter of Silver Hawk s life came to a tragic end on May 28 in a freak stall accident at Hollywood Park. She kicked the wall of her pen and broke her hind leg, explained Gaines. She was euthanized shortly thereafter. She brought a lot of joy to everyone s lives that were lucky enough to be associated with her and we will all miss her very much. Won four stakes races in 2002 with 3-year-old filly Super High, whose victories included Oak Tree s California Cup Matron Handicap and the Flawlessly at Hollywood Park. Super High was owned and bred by Harris Farms, one of trainer s principal clients. In taking Del Mar s Solana Beach Handicap that year, Super High set a stakes record of 1:33.65 for one mile on turf. In addition to Super High in the Matron, saddled Unlimited Value in the Sprint Handicap to capture a pair of Cal Cup races on the 2002 program at Oak Tree. Won a pair of Grade III stakes races on the turf in 2006 with 3-year-old filly Foxysox, Santa Anita s Providencia and the Senorita Stakes at Hollywood Park. In 2006, high percentage trainer won with 26 percent of her starters (14 of 53) at Santa Anita and with 31 percent (11 of 36) at Hollywood Park. The Hollywood Park ratio was the highest winning percentage among the meet s Top 20 trainers (Gaines placed 11th in victories).

66 First Grade I stakes win: Magical Fantasy, Grade I Del Mar Oaks in The longest shot in the $350,000 event, the Kentucky-bred British import not only scored her first U.S. win but her first stakes victory in the Grade I while paying an Oaks-record $87 for the victory. I think you have to take a shot when they re doing as well as she was, said Gallagher, who had added earmuffs in an effort to help the filly relax. Magical Fantasy continued her rise through the upper echelon of the older filly and mare division in 2009 with three consecutive graded stakes scores beginning with Santa Anita s Grade II Santa Barbara Handicap. The 4-year-old daughter of Diesis proceeded to add a pair of Grade I events: Hollywood Park s Gamely Stakes and the John C. Mabee at Del Mar.

Valbenny s win in the Miesque punctuated a most productive season for the stable in 2006 when earnings reached $3 million from 65 victories.

Less than two years after assuming care of Godolphin Racing s U.S. based-2-yearolds, saddled Tempera for her victory over stablemate Imperial Gesture in 2001 Breeders Cup Juvenile at Belmont Park. The Eclipse Award-winning juvenile filly, who set a stakes record of 1:41.49 for 1 1/16 miles in her Breeders Cup triumph, had to be euthanized in April of 2002 after being victimized by severe cases of colitis and laminitis. eoin harty

76 The one-time assistant to trainer Bob Baffert realized an epic accomplishment in 2009 when his Well Armed, third to Curlin the previous year, simply ran off with the world s richest race, the $6 million Dubai World Cup, posting a dazzling 14-length victory. The World Cup record win in the United Arab Emirates was especially meaningful for the Irish-born trainer, who had spent two years in the early 2000s handling juveniles for Godolphin in the UAE. He had been largely responsible for developing Street Cry for his triumph in the 2003 Dubai World Cup. After realizing his best earnings season in 2007 when figure exceeded $1.9 million, doubled that in 2008 with earnings of over $3.9 million due in large part to performances by 3-year-old Colonel John and 5-year-old gelding Well Armed. Following a victorious prep in the Grade III Sham Stakes at Santa Anita, Colonel John captured the 71st running of the Grade I Santa Anita Derby before finishing sixth to Big Brown in the Kentucky Derby. Colonel John s earnings topped $1.2 million for the year when he returned to win Saratoga s Grade I Travers Stakes by a nose over Mambo in Seattle. Well Armed provided over $1.4 million in earnings for 2008 while racing seven times. He captured the Grade II San Antonio Handicap and Oak Tree s Grade I Goodwood Stakes as well as the Grade II San Diego Handicap at Del Mar. His earnings were buoyed by a third-place finish behind Curlin in the $6-million Dubai World Cup and a close second to Go Between in Del Mar s $1-million Pacific Classic. He had the look of eagles today, Harty said after 21-1 shot Victor s Cry gave the trainer with his seventh Grade I victory in 2010 while nipping favored Karelian by a head in Hollywood Park s $249,500 Shoemaker Mile Stakes. Notched his first Grade I victory since the 2001 Breeders Cup when his Dubai Escapade routed her opposition by seven lengths in the 2006 running of the Ballerina Breeders Cup Stakes at Saratoga. The 4-year-old filly was retired at year s end with an ankle ailment after winning 6 of 8 starts. His Ruler s Court won the 2003 Norfolk by a stakes-record 14 lengths and established a stakes record of 1:41 for 1 1/16 miles after adding blinkers. Promising colt would suffer career-ending knee injury while training for Breeders Cup Juvenile. Conditioned Essence of Dubai and Ibn al Haitham, one-two finishers in 2001 Norfolk Stakes.

Sprint champion Kona Gold capped an extraordinary 2000 campaign when becoming the only unanimous winner in that year s Eclipse Award balloting following a track-record (1:07.77) victory at six furlongs in the Breeders Cup Sprint at Churchill Downs. Kona Gold won five graded stakes in His Breeders Cup victory atoned for two previous Sprint setbacks (second to Artax in 1999 at Gulfstream Park and third behind Reraise and Grand Slam in 1988 at Churchill Downs). Kona Gold was retired at age nine in 2003 to become a stable pony. At eight, he had joined Native Diver as the oldest horse to win Hollywood Park s Los Angeles Handicap. Kona Gold won three graded stakes at the age of seven in 2001 including Santa Anita s Grade I San Carlos Handicap and Grade II Potrero Grande. Surf Cat won those same two stakes in 2006 and seemed headed for distinction in the handicap division after stretching out to outclass his rivals in the Grade II Mervyn LeRoy Handicap and covering 1 1/16 miles in 1:40.65, just three fifths off the track record. But the five-length winner of the 2005 Swaps Stakes at Hollywood Park would have his 2006 campaign stalled by a bruised foot. Surf Cat s win in the Potrero Grande marked his trainer s sixth in that stakes race; his win in the San Carlos the trainer s fourth in that event. In 2008 Surf Cat won the San Carlos for a second time before a victory in Hollywood Park s Mervyn LeRoy Handicap sent the 6-year-old s earnings to over $1 million. But the stable star in 2008 was sprinter Street Boss, who won five consecutive races including a pair of Grade I events, Hollywood Park s Triple Bend Handicap and Del Mar s Bing Crosby Handicap. The 4-year-old son of Street Cry set a Hollywood Park track record of 1:07.55 for six furlongs when victorious in the Grade III Los Angeles Handicap. After running second in Oak Tree s Ancient Title Handicap and third in the Breeders Cup Sprint at Santa Anita, Street Boss was retired for stallion duty in His Son Of A Pistol set a Santa Anita track record of 1:13.71 for 6 1/2 furlongs in capturing the 1998 Potrero Grande Handicap. The 6-year-old went on to win the Triple Bend at Hollywood Park. Accounted for three Grade II stakes at Santa Anita with Got Koko in 2003, but the one that gained international attention was Got Koko s upset of Azeri in Oak Tree s Lady s Secret Breeders Cup Handicap as the reigning Horse of the Year s 11-race victory streak was halted. In 2002, Kalookan Queen dominated males while taking Oak Tree s Grade I Ancient Title Breeders Cup Handicap to provide her trainer with his third victory in that event. His Variety Road upset Broad Brush, Snow Chief and Ferdinand in 1987 s Grade I San Fernando Stakes at Santa Anita. In 1986, Variety Road produced trainer s first Grade I victory when winning Santa Anita s San Felipe Stakes for 3-yearolds.

79 Bertrando crushed his contemporaries when taking Oak Tree s 1991 Norfolk Stakes by a stakes-record nine lengths. Trainer rarely ships horses out of town for stakes, but supplemented Bertrando to the 1991 Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs. Was second behind a spectacular performance by Arazi. Won titles for Variety Baby as CTBA Juvenile Filly of 1987 and Variety Queen as CTBA Sophomore Filly of Also won CTBA titles with Silveyville in 1984 and 1986 as champion older horse.

Brother Derek rose to prominence by winning Oak Tree s Grade II Norfolk Stakes in After finishing fourth behind Stevie Wonderboy at odds of 56-1 in the 2005 Breeders Cup Juvenile at Belmont Park, he returned to Southern California to capture Hollywood Park s Grade I Hollywood Futurity.

One year before snuffing Silver Charm s Triple Crown bid with Frank Stronach s dramatic upsetter Touch Gold in the 1997 Belmont Stakes, toppled two-time Horse of the Year Cigar with Mrs. B. J. Ridder s Alphabet Soup in the $4-million Breeders Cup Classic at Woodbine. Stunned Breeders Cup crowd at Oak Tree seven years later when Adoration recorded the biggest shocker of the 2003 Breeders Cup by leading throughout the Distaff to win by 4 1/2 lengths and return $83.40 for the victory. When Oak Tree again hosted the Breeders Cup in 2008, pulled off yet another stunner as Desert Code rallied from far back to take the inaugural running of the Turf Sprint and return a winning mutuel of $75. Defending champion Cigar was sent off at 3-5 odds to repeat in the 1996 Breeders Cup Classic, but Alphabet Soup, tagged at 19-1, emerged from a driving four-horse stretch battle with a nose victory over Louis Quatorze. The latter edged Cigar by a head for the place with pace-setter Mt. Sassafras another halflength back in fourth. The roan Alphabet Soup had won three stakes races earlier in the year while preparing for the Classic. They included a pair of Grade II events at Santa Anita, the San Antonio and San Pasqual Handicaps. Touch Gold s denial of Silver Charm becoming the first Triple Crown champion in 19 years was accomplished while overcoming an injury to his left front hoof that had occurred when nearly falling at the start of the Preakness Stakes three weeks previous.

89 Touch Gold continued on in 1997 to win Monmouth Park s Grade I Haskell Invitational Handicap. Saddled another Stronach-owned 3-year-old, Awesome Again, to win a pair of major races that year: Saratoga s Jim Dandy Stakes and the Group I Queen s Plate at Woodbine. Following her victory in the 2003 Breeders Cup Distaff, Adoration captured three graded stakes at as many tracks including Santa Anita s Grade I Santa Margarita Invitational Handicap as the third choice among five betting interests that included an entry. After Grade I wins at Santa Anita as a 3-year-old in the 2006 Las Virgenes and Santa Anita Oaks, Balance returned in 2007 to take the Grade II La Canada and Grade I Santa Margarita Invitational Handicap, providing trainer with second victory in latter event within four years. Having returned earlier in the year from a 17-month layoff after bowing a tendon, California-bred gray gelding Greg s Gold stamped himself as one of the nation s leading sprinters in 2007 with a 1 1/2-length victory in Del Mar s $300,000 Pat O Brien Breeders Cup Handicap (Gr II) to atone for a nose loss to In Summation three weeks previous in Del Mar s Grade I Bing Crosby Handicap. J P's Gusto stamped himself among the leaders of his generation when the 2-year-old son of Successful Appeal coasted to a 4 1/2-length win in the Grade I Del Mar Futurity for his fourth straight stakes victory in The bay ridgling previously had scored in Del Mar s Grade II Best Pal Stakes, the Grade III Hollywood Juvenile Championship and the Willard L. Proctor Memorial at Hollywood Park. Sent Millennium Wind on the 2001 Triple Crown trail with a Grade III victory in the Santa Catalina Stakes at Santa Anita and a Grade I win in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland prior to a disappointing 11th-place finish in the 127th Kentucky Derby. After breaking his maiden at Del Mar at first asking in 2001, Siphonic went to Keeneland and took the Grade II Lane s End BC Futurity by six lengths. The Siphon colt then shipped to Belmont Park where he pressed the pace in the Breeders Cup Juvenile, forged a short-lived lead at the eighth pole before finishing third. Siphonic finished the year with a smashing win in the Grade I Hollywood Futurity, but his Triple Crown hopes were dashed early in 2002 by a right front ankle injury. Dramatic Gold finished third in the 1994 Breeders' Cup Classic, trainer s first Breeders' Cup starter, following victories in Woodbine s Group I Molson Million and the Grade II Del Mar Breeders Cup Handicap. Saddled His Legacy to third California Cup Starter Handicap victory in 1994 following wins in 1991 and 1992 and a second in Trainer of Individualist, whose 1992 Palos Verdes Handicap victory pushed Laffit Pincay Jr. past Bill Shoemaker's record Santa Anita win mark (2,246). Saddled Chris McCarron's 6,000th winner, Andestine, in the 1994 Milady Handicap at Hollywood Park, as well as McCarron s 6,500th winner, Le Casque Gris, on July 16, Won four consecutive stakes during a two-week span in 1990, three at Golden Gate Fields with Perforce, For My Mom and His Legacy. Capped the streak with Royal Reach in the San Jacinto at Santa Anita. Personal Introduced to racing by his father, an avid fan. Learned training basics from Gary Jones, who had been a classmate at Pasadena City College. Gave serious thought to leaving the sport in the mid-1980s before turning his career around. In 1989, had the highest winning percentage in Southern California at 28.7 percent. Son Grant obtained trainer s license in February Won with first starter, Fleotan, on Feb 15, david hofmans

Kyne (GIII-BM) Variety Road (1990, 1991) Work the Crowd (GG) You Lift Me Up (2010); U R All That I Am (2011) Highlights One month after being inducted into racing s National Hall of Fame in 2011, Hollendorfer became the fourth trainer in history to reach 6,000 victories on Sept. 3 when teaming with fellow Hall of Famer Russell Baze, aboard Just Tappin It in the sixth race at Golden Gate Fields. We did it with Russell, that s very nice, Hollendorfer said in recognizing a partnership that has accounted for more than 2,500 victories. At 65, the conditioner joined Dale Baird (9,445 wins), Jack Van Berg (6,406) and King Leatherbury (6,324) in the exclusive Six Thousand Club. Blind Luck, his 3-year-old filly champion of 2010, overcame four straight runnerup finishes to return to the top of her game in 2011 with successive wins in the Grade II La Troienne at Churchill Downs, Hollywood Park s Grade I Vanity Handicap and the Grade II Delaware Handicap while nosing out arch rival Havre de Grace. Blind Luck, I think, was the final kick in the pants that got me here, Hollendorfer said at his Hall of Fame induction. Dominated the Northern California racing scene for nearly a quarter-century before gradually beginning to shift a significant portion of his vast stable to Southern California in By 2008, he had better than one-fourth of his horses training in Southern California. Everybody would love to run in Southern California, but you have to be realistic, he told the Daily Racing Form. I never thought I had the stock to compete consistently on a daily basis. But I ve had more support from my owners. Evidence was his victory with Heatseeker in the 2008 Santa Anita Handicap, his first starter in Southern California s premier race. Heatseeker s Big Cap score was sandwiched between wins in Hollywood Park s Grade III Native Diver Handicap in 2007 and the Grade II Californian in Meanwhile, Hollendorfer, at 61, gained his 5000th career victory at Hollywood Park with Political High on Dec. 22, While continuing to enlarge his presence in Southern California, Hollendorfer s remarkable reign as king among Northern California trainers was checked when William E. Morey won the training title at the 2008 Golden Gate Fields spring meeting, thus, ending Hollendorfer s streak of 32 consecutive training crowns at the track. He had been the champion at every meet conducted at Golden Gate or Bay Meadows since In 2008, however, he realized his most lucrative year as a trainer with earnings of over $8.6 million to rank seventh nationally. He moved up to fifth in 2009 with earnings of over $7.3 million. He had earned that much by September of 2010 as Blind Luck registered three Grade I victories, including the Kentucky Oaks that came on the heels of her impressive score in the Grade I Hollywood Starlet in December of Tuscan Evening provided six stakes wins during an unbeaten season in 2010 including the Grade I Gamely at Hollywood Park following tallies at Santa Anita in the Grade III Monrovia and Santa Ana, Buena Vista and Santa Barbara Handicaps, all Grade II events. Hollendorfer s 2010 season would mark his 14th consecutive year with earnings in excess of $5 million from over 200 victories. Gained his first Breeders Cup victory in 2010 at Churchill Downs with 37-1 shot Dakota Phone, who rallied from 12th and last to take the Dirt Mile by a head under Joel Rosario. Blind Luck had to settle for second behind upsetter Unrivaled Belle as the 3-2 favorite in the 2010 Breeders Cup Ladies Classic. Saddled five winners on a single racing card for the fourth time in his career on Nov. 24, 2007 at Golden Gate Fields. His earlier five-win days occurred on May 26, 2004 at Bay Meadows, Jan. 23, 1997 at Bay Meadows, and on May 1, 1986 at Golden Gate. Won the final four races at Golden Gate on May 1, 1996 to begin a streak of eight straight race wins. jerry hollendorfer

94 First impacted the national scene with King Glorious in After setting a track record of :51 for 4 1/2 furlongs in his victorious debut, King Glorious won eight of nine starts including the Grade I Hollywood Futurity in 1988, the 1989 Ohio Derby and that year s Grade I Haskell Stakes in New Jersey. Is a two-time winner of the prestigious Kentucky Oaks, first taking Churchill Downs Grade I fixture for 3-year-old fillies with Lite Light, a 10-length winner in 1991, before returning in 1996 to score with Pike Place Dancer. His two Kentucky Derby contenders both were injured in Kentucky prior to the race. Event Of The Year suffered a slab fracture in his knee while training at Churchill Downs in 1998 after winning the Grade II Jim Beam (now the Spiral Stakes) at Turfway Park. Globalize was kicked by a lead pony in 2000 after taking the Spiral. Struggled during his early years as a trainer. For his first six years beginning in 1979, he never saddled more than 16 winners during any of those years before winning 56 in His breakthrough came in 1986 with Novel Sprite, whom he had claimed for $16,000 in She went on to earn $400,000, was named National Claimer of the Year in 1986 and provided trainer with his first stakes victory that year when taking the San Jose Handicap. One year later, Novel Sprite provided trainer with his first victory in a hundred-grander, the Sacramento Handicap at Golden Gate Fields.

102 One year after California Flag had faded to 10th in the Breeders Cup Turf Sprint after dueling for the early lead, the 5-year-old gelding provided the 43-year-old trainer with his biggest win when taking the 2009 running of the million-dollar event by 1 1/4 lengths while going wire-to-wire under jockey Joe Talamo as the 3-1 favorite. The difference between this year and last year is that last year we just said go, commented Koriner. This year we used our heads. Once we made the lead, it was over. He added, I m not going to be greedy, but this is what it s all about. It was the fourth straight win for California Flag following his 2008 Breeders Cup setback. The streak included victories in the Grade III Hollywood Turf Express, Del Mar s Green Flash Handicap and a repeat in Oak Tree s Grade III Morvich Handicap. Winless in three previous starts during 2008, Black Seventeen was the longest shot in the field at odds of 23-1 when capturing the Vosburgh over a sloppy sealed main track. That was a long way to come to be 23-1, said Koriner, a coowner, but this horse has won on this kind of a racetrack. Black Seventeen had provided trainer with his biggest win prior to the Vosburgh in 2007 when overcoming a stumbling start to wire his rivals in the Grade II, $300,000 Carry Back Stakes at Calder Racecourse. After the race, Koriner termed the Florida-bred sprinter the best horse he has trained. High-percentage trainer won the Grade III, $125,000 Bay Meadows Breeders Cup Sprint on June 19, 2004, with Court s in Session by 2 1/2 lengths, paying $17.80, just six weeks after claiming the 5-year-old gelding for $32,000. Journeyed to Northern California in 1987 to saddle his first Quarter Horse winner, John s Policy, at Bay Meadows in an 870-yard race he won via disqualification. When Thoroughbred racing was introduced at Los Alamitos but restricted to 4 1/2-furlong contests with a claiming lid of $5,000, he began to branch out into that area. Took seven Thoroughbreds to Northern California in 1996 when Los Alamitos was dark for three months and won with 40 percent of his runners during his first meet there. That put me on the map, he noted, and brought me some new clients. Became a Thoroughbred trainer based in Northern California. Came full circle in June of 2007 when relocated to Southern California with a string of 40 horses after running some at Del Mar the previous year. Personal Played baseball at Diamond Bar High School, and, after considering an attempt to further his baseball career in college, decided to try galloping horses at Santa Anita where his dad, Ed, had often taken him as a youngster. Found his way to Los Alamitos where he galloped horses at the age of 18 for trainers Vaughn Ellis and Scott Craigmyle. Took out his trainer s license in 1987 while based primarily at Los Alamitos and trained Quarter Horses for 10 years.

116 Was fitting that Hall of Fame induction coincided with that of John Henry in 1990 as trainer is most closely identified with the two-time Horse of the Year who was retired in 1984 with then-record earnings of $6,597,947. After joining McAnally s stable at the age of 4 in 1979, John Henry ($239,613 earned previously) won 27 of his 45 races and earned $6,358,334 during the ensuing five years. He became the first horse to win a million-dollar Thoroughbred race in 1981 when nosing out The Bart in the inaugural Arlington Million. Along the way, John Henry won 12 stakes races at Santa Anita. He became the first dual winner of the Santa Anita Handicap and won three runnings of the Grade I Oak Tree Invitational, now the Clement L. Hirsch Turf Championship. John Henry s final season at the age of 9 included a second victory in the Arlington Million. Trainer s Argentine-bred Bayakoa won Eclipse Awards as best older female in 1989 and Advised the late Frank Whitham to purchase her for $300,000 in Bayakoa won 16 of 21 starts from 1989 through 1990 including the Breeders' Cup Distaff twice. Overall, she was victorious in 21 races for earnings of $2,817,524. Bayakoa was inducted into the Hall of Fame in Another Argentine-bred, Paseana, provided third Breeders' Cup Distaff in four years in Purchased on behalf of Sid and Jenny Craig for $320,000, Paseana won the 1992 Eclipse Award as champion older female. She lost by a nose to Hollywood Wildcat in the 1993 Breeders' Cup Distaff. Retired in 1995 with earnings of $3,317,427 from 19 wins in 36 starts, Paseana was inducted into the Hall of Fame in Yet another Argentine-bred, Candy Ride, stirred memories of John Henry in the trainer s mind in 2003 after extending his unbeaten streak to six since being purchased by the Craigs. The tour de force was a smashing 3 1/4-length win over favored Medaglia d Oro in Del Mar s Pacific Classic while covering 1 1/4 miles in 1:59.11 and breaking Bertrando s track record of 1:59.55 set in Surpassed the late Charlie Whittingham to become Oak Tree s all-time leading trainer on Oct. 3, 1998, when Royal Prosper won that day s fifth race. It was his 202nd Oak Tree winner. Had become Del Mar s all-time leader the same year, passing the previous mark of 414 victories set by Farrell Jones. Trained 1995 champion turf horse Northern Spur, winner of that year s Breeders' Cup Turf at Belmont Park, and 1991 Eclipse Award-winning turf horse Tight Spot, who won eight straight turf races.

He won with 14 of 35 starters at a strike rate of 40 percent during the Autumn Meet to finish two wins behind leader Doug O Neill, who had 69 more starters. He led in purse earnings of $662,420 as Comma to the Top completed an unprecedented sweep of the Real Quiet, Grade III Generous Stakes and the Futurity.

Was the youngest student at the jockeys school in Castaic at the age of 10, but soon outgrew those aspirations. I decided training would be the next best thing, he said. While attending Beverly Hills High School, worked as a groom and hot walker during the summer for such trainers as Hal King, Joe Manzi and Mike Mitchell. Following high school, worked for two years for Charlie Whittingham. Took out his trainer s license at the age of 20 in late Worked as an assistant to Don Warren, helping train for Old English Rancho, before taking a break from the sport for three years beginning in I came back fresh in 1994, he said. Prepped horses for other trainers and served as racing manager for Golden Eagle Farm. In 2004 opened own public stable. Says his jockeys school experience has paid off in that he likes to gallop his own horses.

(Hol) Comininalittlehot (1996) Highlights First Grade I winner: Kela, Bing Crosby Handicap at Del Mar in First winner: Break a Leg at Bay Meadows in Training titles: Oak Tree: 1983, 1995-tie, 1996, 2004; Santa Anita: 1993, 2008; Hollywood Park: 1982-tie, 1983 fall-tie, 1985, 1993, 1997; Del Mar: 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1995, 1996, 2011; Fairplex Park: Placed his name in the Del Mar record books as the track s winningest trainer on Aug. 12, 2011 when Backwoods Belle won the fifth race to give Mitchell, at 63, his 437th victory at the seaside track as he surpassed Hall of Famer Ron McAnally. During a year when the high-percentage trainer s strike rate resided at about 30 percent, he won his seventh training title at Del Mar and first since 1996 with 25 wins, edging John Sadler by a single victory. Mitchell ranks No. 5 on Santa Anita s all-time list of training victories and is No. 2 at Hollywood Park. Regarded as one of the game s most astute claiming trainers, went 30 years before winning a Grade I race, and did it twice in 2004 as stable earned a career high $3,834,120 from 97 victories (25 percent). Kela s victory in the Grade I Bing Crosby Handicap preceded an upset of top sprinter Pico Central in the Grade II Pat O Brien during Del Mar s 2004 meet. Kela scored the stable s richest win in the $300,000 Texas Mile at Lone Star Park and finished second to Speightstown in the Breeders Cup Sprint. He earned $692,212 in Claimed for $80,000, Star Over the Bay provided the second Grade I victory when taking Oak Tree s Clement L. Hirsch Turf Championship after winning a pair of Grade II events, Hollywood Park s Sunset Handicap and the Del Mar Handicap. Star Over the Bay returned in 2005 to capture Santa Anita s Sunshine Millions Turf but met an unfortunate demise when injuring a sesamoid during the $1.8-million Singapore Airlines International Cup in Singapore and had to be euthanized. Leprechaun Kid, a gray front-running turf specialist like Star Over the Bay, was claimed for a similar $80,000 in 2005 at Del Mar and, in a remarkably similar tableau, gained trainer a second consecutive victory in the Del Mar Handicap. Leprechaun Kid wound up second in the Clement L. Hirsch Turf Championship in In 2007, Sun Boat, haltered for $50,000 two starts previous, gained a win in the $300,000 San Diego Handicap (Gr II) to become the trainer s fifth horse since 2004 to go from the claim box to victory in a major stakes race. He joined Leprechaun Kid, Star Over the Bay, Symphony Sid (2006 Carleton F. Burke) and On the Acorn.

121 On the Acorn, claimed for $40,000 in November of 2006, captured both Santa Anita s San Juan Capistrano Invitational Handicap (Gr II) and Hollywood Park s Jim Murray Memorial Handicap (Gr II) while earning $398,400 within the next six months for Indizguys Stable. California-bred filly Romance Is Diane provided third Grade I victory in 2006 when posting a 14-1 upset in Hollywood Park s $459,250 Hollywood Starlet after taking the Cal Cup Juvenile Fillies in her previous start at Oak Tree. Added two more Grade I victories to his dossier in 2008 when Ever a Friend, yet another Mitchell claim taken for $62,500 three months earlier captured Santa Anita s $300,000 Frank E. Kilroe Stakes while making his first graded stakes start. British import Monzante, transferred to the Mitchell barn the previous fall, was victorious in Del Mar s $400,000 Eddie Read Handicap to account for the other Grade I. The trainer scored repeat victories in a pair of marathon Grade II stakes in 2008 as Big Booster, a $62,500 claim, upset favored stablemate On the Acorn in the San Juan Capistrano at Santa Anita. The latter came back to repeat in Hollywood Park s Jim Murray Memorial Handicap while nosing out odds-on favorite Champs Elysees. Big Booster s San Juan Capistrano score served to punctuate Santa Anita season for Mitchell as his 33 wins provided first training title at track since Following peak earnings year in 2007 when runners banked $3.8 million, surpassed that with $4.5 million in purse earnings in Claimed Kessem Power for $50,000 at the 1997 Del Mar meeting and developed the New Zealand-bred into a top distance turf runner. Won Santa Anita s $250,000 San Luis Rey Stakes in 1998 and the 1999 San Luis Obispo. Sent out 3-year-old Skip to the Stone to a pair of Grade III stakes wins in 2001: Santa Anita s Baldwin Stakes and the Bay Shore at Aqueduct. His 19 wins at Oak Tree in 1983 remained the highest total at that meet until surpassed by the 21 of Bob Baffert in When capturing his fourth Oak Tree training title in 2004 with 13 wins from 30 starters, his winning ratio was a remarkable 43 percent. One of ten trainers ever to saddle four winners in a day (Jan. 13, 1995) at Santa Anita. Registered first victory in a hundred-grander in 1984 when Distant Ryder won the California Derby at Golden Gate Fields. Comininalittlehot set a course record in Oak Tree s 1996 Morvich Handicap, covering the about 6 1/2 furlongs on turf in 1: One of trainer s most challenging assignments involved Speedratic, a speed horse he was able to calm down long enough to win Hollywood Park s Grade III Affirmed Handicap in Claimed Banker John for $10,000 during early career. Banker John went on to earn over $130,000. Personal Son of former Gem State Stable conditioner Earl Mitchell. Walked hots for Farrell Jones and groomed for late mentor Willard Proctor, who loaned him four stalls at Hollywood Park after he obtained his trainer's license in One-time pony boy for Ron McAnally. mike mitchell

First stakes winner: Sentimental Value, Oak Tree s Harold Ramser Sr. Handicap on Oct. 14, Victories in Santa Anita s San Vicente and San Rafael Stakes followed by a second in the 2004 Santa Anita Derby earned Imperialism a trip to Louisville, Ky. The one-eyed gray colt thus gained an opportunity to make his trainer the youngest, at 21, to win the Kentucky Derby as well as the first female. Imperialism finished strongly to place third behind Smarty Jones and Lion Heart in the 130th Run for the Roses. Having held a trainer s license for less than two years in 2004, the daughter of former trainer Richard Mulhall saw her runners earn over $1.8 million that year as Puerto Banus won Santa Anita s Grade II San Luis Obispo Handicap, Cheiron took Hollywood Park s Snow Chief Stakes and Tronare captured the Golden Gate Breeders Cup Handicap. In her first full year as a trainer in 2003, saddled four stakes winners. Puerto Banus was victorious in Hollywood Park s Grade II Sunset Handicap, providing trainer with her first graded stakes victory while one week shy of her 21st birthday. Added another graded win when Mister Acpen took the Grade III Bay Meadows Breeders Cup Handicap. Horses earned more than $1 million. Following his stellar 3-year-old season, Imperialism returned at 4 to win Del Mar s Grade II Pat O Brien Handicap. He would compete in the 2005 Breeders Cup Sprint, but finished a non-threatening eighth. kristin mulhall

The year before, he had struck with another 30-1 shot, Irish-bred Castledale. Buddy Gil began the streak in 2003 at the more modest odds of 6-1. Each earned a trip to the Kentucky Derby with Buzzards Bay s fifth-place finish the best showing of the three. Dealt a crushing blow on the morning of the 2009 Kentucky Derby when his I Want Revenge, the 3-1 morning line favorite, had to be scratched due to a filling in his left front ankle. It was the first time in Derby history that the morning line choice had been withdrawn on the day of the race. I Want Revenge was coming off impressive victories in Aqueduct s Grade III Gotham Stakes and the Grade I Wood Memorial to gain favoritism in the historic event. Won four consecutive stakes races with Battle of Hastings in 2009, culminated by a head victory in the Grade II, $750,000 Virginia Derby at Colonial Downs, before being nipped by a nose by 22-1 outsider Rendezvous in the Grade II Del Mar Derby.

Only Best Pal, but in varying years, had won all three races previously. Lava Man opened 2006 by taking Santa Anita s Sunshine Millions Classic. The Big Cap victory provided his second consecutive million-dollar win. He took the Khaled Stakes and Grade I Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap on grass at Hollywood Park before returning to dirt to win his second Hollywood Gold Cup despite stumbling at the start. Lava Man s victory in Oak Tree s Goodwood Breeders Cup Handicap in October boosted his earnings from a seven-for-seven year to $2,770,000, his record earnings since being claimed to $3,706,103, and his lifetime bankroll to $3,804,706 from 14 victories in 34 starts. The 5-year-old gelding s streak ended when seventh in the 2006 Breeders Cup Classic. In 2007 at the age of 6, Lava Man joined legendary Native Diver as the only horse to win the Hollywood Gold Cup in three consecutive years when prevailing by a nose over A. P. Xcellent. The record-equaling performance followed his becoming only the third horse to win the Santa Anita Handicap twice while joining legendary John Henry and Milwaukee Brew for that distinction. The Gold Cup victory elevated his career earnings to $5,189,706, all but $98,603 since the claim. It also established him as the first horse to win Grade I events over dirt, grass and synthetic surfaces. Lava Man s bid for a repeat sweep of Southern California s signature races failed when he finished sixth in the 2007 Pacific Classic. After finishing sixth and last in Del Mar s Grade I Eddie Read Handicap on July 20, 2008, Lava Man was retired and permanently pensioned to Old Friends, a retirement facility in Georgetown, Ky. He concluded his remarkable career with seven Grade I victories among 17 wins in 47 starts. He left with earnings of $5,268,706 over six seasons, $5,180,678 of it constituting a record amount for winnings following a claim. doug o'neill

Lava Man s victory in the 2005 Hollywood Gold Cup was accomplished by a stakes record margin of 8 3/4 lengths in the event s 66th running.

Claimed for $40,000 on behalf of Lee and Ty Leatherman in October of 2002, Fleetstreet Dancer subsequently earned $1,084,000, much of it achieved by a nose victory at odds of 48-1 in the 2003 Japan Dirt Cup with a total purse of $2 million. Win was the trainer s first in a Group I event. His first U.S. Grade I victory was accomplished later in 2003 when Avanzando won Oak Tree s Ancient Title Breeders Cup Handicap. Classy Cara, a $20,000 purchase by owner John Zamora, won a trio of stakes in 2000, including the Grade II Fantasy at Oaklawn Park and the Grade II Honeymoon at Hollywood Park.

141 The prolific stakes-winning trainer finally filled the most glaring gap in his resume in 2010 when Super Saver captured the 136th running of the Kentucky Derby at odds of 8-1 under Calvin Borel. Despite having won eight different Kentucky Derby preps with six different horses, Pletcher had gone 0-for-24 in the Derby and his early favorite in 2010, Eskendereya, would miss the classic event with an injury following decisive wins in the Grade II Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream Park and Aqueduct s Grade I Wood Memorial. Quality Road, who missed the 2009 Kentucky Derby with a foot ailment after being the early favorite, captured three Grade I competitions in 2010 including Gulfstream Park s Donn Handicap, the Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont and Saratoga s Woodward Stakes. Geared up for another serious 2011 Triple Crown run when undefeated 7-5 choice Uncle Mo ran off with the 2010 Breeders Cup Juvenile by 4 1/4 lengths to assume early favoritism for the following May s Kentucky Derby. Pletchertrained youngsters captured two other Breeders Cup events in 2010 when Pluck took the Juvenile Turf and More Than Real won the Juvenile Fillies Turf. The Pletcher three-bagger in the two-day championships at Churchill Downs brought his career Breeders Cup victory total to six. Would up 2010 as the national leader in purse earnings with a total take of $23,157,098, while outdistancing runner-up Steve Asmussen by nearly $7 million. His abundance of riches during the year, including his Kentucky Derby score and three Breeders Cup victories, propelled him to his fifth Eclipse Award as the nation s leading trainer. Misfortune, however, struck the following May when Uncle Mo, second choice in the wagering, was scratched out of the 2011 Kentucky Derby due to illness. The overall strength of his stable nevertheless had Pletcher en route to another national earnings title in Gained his first Triple Crown victory in 2007 when Santa Anita Oaks and Kentucky Oaks winner Rags to Riches went on to capture the Belmont Stakes while outdueling Preakness champion Curlin and becoming the first filly to win the marathon event in 102 years. Rags to Riches provided trainer with his first Triple Crown triumph after he had raced five colts in the 2007 Kentucky Derby, Circular Quay s sixth-place finish the best showing. Secured his third Breeders Cup win in 2007 when English Channel took the Turf. His 10 runners at Monmouth Park on Breeders Cup Day brought home five checks totaling $2,394,250.

Finished 2006 with 56 graded stakes victories while training a pair of Eclipse Award winners: older female Fleet Indian and 3-year-old filly Wait a While. The latter was victorious in Hollywood Park s American Oaks while Fleet Indian took Belmont Park s Beldame Stakes and the Personal Ensign Handicap at Saratoga. Those three victories contributed to 17 Grade I wins for the year. Ran a Breeders Cup record 17 entrants in the 2006 event while his three seconds and three thirds (placings worth $2.16 million) served to elevate his record earnings for the year to over $25 million after he had broken his own 2005 earnings record of $20,867,842 on Oct. 7 when Balletto won the Grade I, $600,000 Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park. Broke Lukas record (92) for stakes wins in a season when Scat Daddy accounted for No. 93 by taking Belmont Park s Grade I, $400,000 Champagne Stakes on Oct. 14. To be honest, I didn t think it was an attainable record, he said afterward. It s a little bittersweet because I hold all of Wayne s accomplishments in high regard. We ve had one of those remarkable years when everything has been clicking and horses have been running well. Displaced Bobby Frankel in 2004 as the nation s leader in purse money when horses earned $17,511,923. His first Breeders Cup victories by Ashado, Juvenile Fillies, and Speightstown, Sprint, at Lone Star Park helped boost earnings total as he won with 24 percent of his starters and gained his first Eclipse Award. Realized second Eclipse Award in 2005 when earnings broke Frankel s record of $19,143,289 set in 2003 as he won eight Grade I stakes with five different horses, Ashado winning three of them.

His Jersey Girl won seven straight races in 1998 before sidelined by injury. Her last six wins came in stakes races including three Grade I events: the Acorn, Mother Goose and the Test Stakes.

Training titles: Santa Anita: ; ; 2011 (Autumn); Oak Tree: 2008; Hollywood Park (spring/summer): 2008, 2009; (fall) 2007, 2009; Del Mar: 2008, Clearly stamped himself as the winningest trainer in Southern California in 2009 when, after rallying to edge Mike Mitchell by a single victory for his first Santa Anita training title, 40-39, repeated as the training leader at Hollywood Park s spring/summer meet and at Del Mar. His run on training titles began with Hollywood Park s 2007 fall meeting. When he won 31 races at Del Mar for a second successive year (15 clear of runner-up Bob Baffert in 2009), the title was his seventh of the past nine major titles on the Southern California racing circuit. His dominance extended to nine of 12 meet training titles in 2010 after he won a second successive Santa Anita championship (43 wins to 41 for Baffert) that had followed the title at Hollywood Park s fall meet (15 wins to 14 for Baffert). Two offspring of Candy Ride were instrumental in propelling Sadler in Sidney s Candy ran away with the Santa Anita Derby after a victory in the Grade II San Felipe Stakes. He shifted his success to grass at Del Mar when victorious in the Grade II La Jolla Handicap. Meantime, Twirling Candy took flight. Following a win in the Oceanside Stakes, Twirling Candy was an easy winner of the Grade II Del Mar Derby at odds of 1-5 to extend his unbeaten streak to four. Including the Santa Anita Derby, the trainer reached a career high five Grade I wins in 2010 following Evita Argentina s win in Santa Anita s Grade I La Brea Stakes to close out Other Grade I wins: Santa Anita Oaks, Crisp; Arkansas Derby, Line of David; Del Mar Debutante, Tell a Kelly, and Churchill Downs Humana Distaff, Mona de Momma. After realizing increased earnings each year beginning in 2003 and hitting $5.4 million in 2007, his stunning 2008 season landed him among the nation s Top Ten trainers at the age of 52. His purse earnings stood at $6.6 million with two months to go in the year. Had already saddled 20 stakes winners, including three Grade I events, and captured training titles at Hollywood Park s Spring/ Summer meet and at Del Mar after having gained his first career championship at Hollywood Park s Autumn Meet in Completed the year with earnings of over $7.3 million and 21 stakes victories. Following a seventh-place finish nationally in 2010 with earnings of just over $7.3 million, Sadler was on target for another Top Ten finish in 2011 following a terrific start during the Santa Anita meet which included victories in four Grade I stakes. His Switch was victorious in the La Brea and Twirling Candy won the Malibu on the meet s opening day while Sidney s Candy took the Grade III Sir Beaufort. Additional Grade I wins were provided by Switch in the Santa Monica and by Zazu in the Las Virgenes. After finishing second to Mike Mitchell at Santa Anita in 2008, Sadler topped the Hollywood Park standings by winning 30 races, seven more than Doug O Neill, and also led in stakes wins with seven. He proceeded to run away from the competition at Del Mar where his 31 victories bested runner-up Mitchell by 12. The victory total was the highest at Del Mar since john sadler

152 His season got off to a rousing start at the tail end of 2007 when Dearest Trickski captured her first of four stakes wins, the Grade I La Brea Stakes on the second day of Santa Anita s meet. After taking the Grade II Beverly Hills Handicap at Hollywood Park, Black Mamba added the Grade I John C. Mabee Handicap at Del Mar. Recent claim Cost of Freedom captured Oak Tree s Grade I Ancient Title Stakes. Black Mamba s win in the Beverly Hills capped an outstanding weekend for Sadler, who won three stakes (Dearest Trickski, Grade II A Gleam Handicap; Whatsthescript, Grade II American Handicap, and Emmy Darling, Landaluce Stakes) on the previous day s Hollywood Gold Cup card and enjoyed a trio of Grade II wins during the weekend that began June 28. The victory by Cost of Freedom in the Ancient Title illustrated the trainer s success at the claim box, especially on behalf of brothers Gary and Cecil Barber. After being haltered for $50,000 during the Del Mar meet, Cost of Freedom won a Grade I two races later. Zappa, claimed for $32,000 by the Barbers, was victorious in the Grade II San Pasqual Handicap at Santa Anita in Stunning win in 2005 Sunshine Millions Classic victorious Musique Toujours paid $ at Gulfstream provided second upset victory in million-dollar race within two years after Our New Recruit had taken the $2-million Dubai Golden Shaheen on the 2004 Dubai World Cup program following a third-place finish in the 2003 Breeders Cup Sprint. Our New Recruit s victory in the Golden Shaheen accounted for trainer s first Group or Grade I victory not long before Victory Encounter added another when capturing Hollywood Park s 2004 Vanity Handicap. With the momentum from Musique Toujours victory in the Sunshine Millions Classic, barn posted career high earnings of over $3.6 million in 2005 as Healthy Addiction became a multiple stakes winner highlighted by a victory in Oak Tree s Grade II Lady s Secret Breeders Cup Handicap. Came back in 2006 to establish new career highs of $4,122,831 in earnings and 92 victories as Healthy Addiction became trainer s third Grade I winner when victorious in Santa Anita s Santa Margarita Handicap. She also provided a repeat victory in the Lady s Secret at Oak Tree. Trainer was headed toward another finish among the country s Top 20 in 2007 when 10 different runners captured stakes races for him. His Get Funky, claimed as a maiden for $62,000 earlier in the year and immediately moved to turf, posted a 6-1 upset in the 2006 running of the $400,000 Del Mar Derby one day after his unheralded 3-year-old Cindago spoiled the return of Grade I winners Brother Derek and Bob and John in the El Cajon Stakes. Tizbud s 10-1 upset in the $250,000 California Cup Classic in 2003 was the centerpiece of a year that included Taste of Paradise s 37-1 score in Del Mar s $250,000 San Diego Handicap and Hombre Rapido taking Hollywood Park s $200,000 Los Angeles Handicap. Stable earnings exceeded $2.9 million in Another notable upsetter was Ceeband who rewarded $91.20 when upsetting eventual Breeders Cup Sprint champion Squirtle Squirt in the 2001 running of Hollywood Park s Grade II Triple Bend Breeders Cup Handicap. Gained a reputation early for his effectiveness with sprinters. Trained unbeaten sensation Melair, who defeated Snow Chief in Hollywood Park s 1986 Silver Screen (now the Affirmed Handicap) in 1:32 4/5, a record for one mile on dirt by a female. Olympic Prospect, claimed for $50,000 in 1987, was developed into one of the nation's top sprinters the following year with earnings of $311,090. Won the first match race in Santa Anita history in 1991 when Valiant Pete defeated champion Quarter Horse Griswold in the $100,000 winner-take-all World Record Challenge. Valiant Pete equaled the world record of :44 2/5 for four furlongs. His Track Gal won Del Mar s Rancho Bernardo Handicap for the third straight year in The 6-year-old mare joined Native Diver and Flawlessly as the only horses to win the same stakes event three times at Del Mar. Developed Christmas Boy, who broke his maiden for $25,000 as a 4-year-old, into a top sprinter on the circuit in Christmas Boy finished second to Mazel Trick in Hollywood Park s Triple Bend before winning the Bing Crosby at Del Mar. Sprinter Ceeband won Oak Tree s California Cup Sprint in 2001, the California Sprint Championship at Bay Meadows and the Triple Bend at Hollywood Park.

153 Personal A former show horse rider who once tried out the U.S. equestrian team, began walking hots for trainer Tom Pratt at Santa Anita while in high school. Left the University of Oregon to become a veterinarian's assistant to Dr. Jack Robbins. Later served as an assistant to trainer David Hofmans and got started on his own when taking a string of horses from the late Eddie Gregson's barn to the Bay Area. john sadler

His patient, skilled handling of Zenyatta led to what became a burgeoning sports phenomenon in 2010 as the charismatic mare s undefeated record reached a record equaling 19 races before her stunning run from last fell inches short behind Blame in pursuit of unprecedented perfection and a successful encore in the $5-million Breeders Cup Classic held at Churchill Downs. She again was breathtaking with Grade I victories in Santa Anita s Santa Margarita Handicap, the Apple Blossom at Oaklawn, Hollywood Park s Vanity Handicap, the Clement L. Hirsch at Del Mar and ultimately Oak Tree s Lady s Secret Stakes at Hollywood Park, a thrilling triumph that matched the unbeaten streak of Peppers Pride, whose wins had come in races restricted to New Mexico breds. Zenyatta took career earnings of over $6.4 million and the sentiments of countless admirers into the Nov. 6 Breeders Cup less than one week after millions had become enthralled with her majesty via an adoring feature on television s 60 Minutes. While storming from some 16 lengths behind, Zenyatta s heroic effort in the Classic did little to dim her gleaming reputation. Her legacy was enhanced in defeat, noted ESPN s Bill Nack. I don t know how she made up that ground. Concluded columnist Art Wilson of the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group, Zenyatta was a gift from heaven, and God further blessed us by giving her to John Shirreffs. He was the perfect man for the job. This is as good as it gets, the taciturn ex-marine said following a dream weekend climaxed on Nov. 7, 2009, by Zenyatta s sterling triumph against males in the $5-million Breeders Cup Classic to close out her 2009 run to perfection with a 14th straight win that left over 58,000 fans thrilled by one of the great displays in the sport s history. Twenty-four hours earlier, younger stablemate Life Is Sweet, at odds of 8-1, had succeeded 5-year-old Zenyatta as winner of the $2-million Breeders Cup Ladies Classic to score by 2 1/2 lengths with a dramatic last-to-first rally, a stylish precursor in the Sheriffs arsenal of what was in store on Saturday. As the first member of her sex to capture the Breeders Cup Classic in the 26 years of its existence, Zenyatta became the richest North American based female with career earnings of $5,474,580 and the first horse to ever win two different events in the Breeders Cup World Championships. In the process, she defeated eight Grade I winning males. Undefeated in nine prior starts, the statuesque daughter of Street Cry began her 2009 campaign with a win in the Grade II Milady Handicap at Hollywood Park on May 23. She followed with repeat victories in Hollywood Park s Grade I Vanity Handicap, the Grade I Clement L. Hirsch at Del Mar and in Oak Tree s Grade I Lady s Secret. Three years after his Giacomo posted a resounding upset in the Kentucky Derby, masterfully managed the imposing 4-year-old bay filly Zenyatta through a dominant season in It was culminated by a stirring victory in Oak Tree s $2-million Breeders Cup Ladies Classic at Santa Anita that pushed her unbeaten record to nine, seven of them graded stakes events, and staked a strong claim for her being named Horse of the Year.

159 Zenyatta s remarkable run had begun with a maiden and allowance victory in 2007 before a succession of stakes triumphs in 2008 that started with Santa Anita s Grade II El Encino. It continued through the Grade I Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn, the Grade II Milady and Grade I Vanity Handicaps at Hollywood Park, the Grade II Clement L. Hirsch Handicap at Del Mar, and Oak Tree s Grade I Lady s Secret prior to the Grade I Breeders Cup event formerly known as the Distaff. Sent off as the 1-2 choice in the Ladies Classic, the daughter of Street Cry purchased by Jerry and Ann Moss for $60,000 at the 2005 Keeneland September Yearling Sale elevated her earnings to $2,144,580 via her 1 1/2-length comefrom-behind victory. Whatever is going on, the normally reserved Shirreffs was moved to remark, you just look at her and you know something fantastic is going to happen. After being transferred to Shirreffs barn to begin her 2009 season, 4-year-old filly Life Is Sweet swiftly became a multiple graded stakes winner. She returned from over seven months on the bench to take Santa Anita s Grade II El Encino Stakes prior to successive victories in the Grade II La Canada and Grade I Santa Margarita Invitational Handicap. The Breeders Cup upset followed four setbacks; three of them losses to Zenyatta and the other a third against males in the historic Hollywood Gold Cup. Stunned the sports world in 2005 when Giacomo, his first starter in the Kentucky Derby, captured the 131st running at odds of 50-1 to pay $ to win, second only to the $ returned by Donerail in Giacomo earned $1,639,600 for his first victory other than a maiden win in eight starts. After finishing third to Afleet Alex in the Preakness Stakes and seventh to that one in the Belmont Stakes after leading briefly entering the stretch, Giacomo was sidelined with bone chips in an ankle and a knee. Following surgery, he returned eight months later to run third in Santa Anita s Strub Stakes and fifth to Lava Man in the Santa Anita Handicap. Giacomo returned to the winner s circle on July 22, 2006 at Del Mar when the gray colt rallied from behind to score a head victory over Preachinathebar in the Grade II, $300,000 San Diego Handicap under Mike Smith, who was aboard for the Kentucky Derby upset. Later on the same day that Giacomo won the Kentucky Derby, his trainer watched on television as Hollywood Story rallied to win Hollywood Park s Grade III Hawthorne Handicap after clipping heels on the clubhouse turn and nearly falling. Two years previous, Hollywood Story had become the first maiden to win Hollywood Park s Grade I Hollywood Starlet for 2-year-old fillies. Racing in the same silks as his half-brother Giacomo for owner-breeders Jerry and Ann Moss, Tiago won the 2007 Santa Anita Derby in just his fourth start for trainer. Following a troubled seventh-place effort behind Street Sense in the Kentucky Derby, Tiago finished third behind Rags to Riches and Curlin in the 2007 Belmont Stakes. Tiago returned to California to register a 2 1/2-length victory in Hollywood Park s Grade II, $366,250 Swaps Stakes for 3-year-olds before capturing Oak Tree s Grade I, $500,000 Goodwood Stakes by a nose over Awesome Gem. He earned a try in the Breeders Cup Classic, finishing fifth behind Curlin. As a 4-year-old in 2007, After Market rose to the forefront of North America s turf runners when achieving his fourth consecutive victory in Del Mar s Grade II Del Mar Handicap at odds of 2-5 following back-to-back Grade I victories in Hollywood Park s Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap and Del Mar s Eddie Read Handicap. This horse is amazing, Shirreffs commented following the Del Mar Handicap. He just has it. While serving as the private trainer for Ed Nahem and Marshall Naify s 505 Farms beginning in 1994, assumed responsibility for multiple graded stakes winner Bertrando following the California-bred s two-length defeat by Arcangues in the 1993 Breeders Cup Classic. Saddled him to win the Wickerr Stakes at Del Mar on the grass and to a neck victory over Dramatic Gold in Oak Tree s Goodwood Handicap prior to a sixth-place finish in the 1994 Breeders Cup Classic. An early development for 505 Farms was Borodislew, who won Oak Tree s Lady s Secret, Hollywood Park s Hawthorne and Del Mar s Chula Vista handicaps before her retirement following the 1996 season. Trained multiple stakes winner Radu Cool, who won the 1997 Chula Vista Handicap at Del Mar before finishing fourth in that year s Breeders Cup Distaff. john a. shirreffs

160 Sent out talented filly Manistique to a 4 1/2 length win in the Grade I Vanity Handicap at Hollywood Park in 1999, making her eight-for-eight in California. Her victories included Santa Anita s Grade I Santa Margarita Handicap that year. The huge filly later lost for the first time in California in the Chula Vista Handicap at Del Mar. Manistique returned to win the Lady s Secret at Oak Tree, but was a disappointing eighth in the Breeders Cup Distaff.

Underwood (GIII-Hol) Bordonaro (2005) Highlights First winner: Cuda May, Bay Meadows in First hundred-grander: Mister Gennaro, 1986 Phoenix Gold Cup at Turf Paradise, returning from a six-month layoff. Training titles: Santa Anita: 1991, 1996; Oak Tree: 2000, 2001; Del Mar: tie, Reached the pinnacle of his industrious career in 2011 at the age of 68 when his Amazombie was a neck winner of the Breeders Cup Sprint at Churchill Downs, the 5-year-old gelding s fifth stakes victory of the year. Amazombie, co-owned by Spawr in partnership with Tom Sanford, was a virtual throw-in with another yearling purchased for $5,000. Raced 15 times before winning a stakes race, the Sunshine Millions Sprint at Santa Anita on July 29, He s just one of the coolest little horses I ve been around, said jockey Mike Smith after Amazombie won Santa Anita s Grade II Potrero Grande Stakes. He s just so full of class, and he knows what he s out there for. The California-bred son of Northern Afleet continued his dramatic ascent in 2011 with wins in the Tiznow and Grade III Los Angeles Handicap at Hollywood Park. But it was his solid victory in the Grade I Ancient Title Stakes during Santa Anita s Autumn Meet that put the Breeders Cup Sprint squarely in Amazombie s sights. He ran huge in that race, Smith recalled immediately following the Breeders Cup. Bill has done an amazing job getting this horse better and better and better every time. When Amazombie got back to Santa Anita, he ran the prep he needed to run. Today, he just knocked it through the wall really.

Bordonaro won six of eight starts in 2005, including Hollywood Park s Grade III Vernon O. Underwood Handicap, before returning the following year to win the Sunshine Millions Sprint at Gulfstream Park. The 5-year-old gelding provided trainer with his second win, and first since 1994, in Oak Tree s Grade I Ancient Title Breeders Cup Stakes while covering seven furlongs in 1: The performance earned a trip to the Breeders Cup where Bordonaro ran fourth in the 2006 Sprint. Maintained a close relationship with jockey Laffit Pincay Jr. during the 1990s, not only as Pincay became the world s winningest jockey but during some lean times as well. When Pincay won five races during Oak Tree s Cal Cup Day in October of 2002, rode a pair of winners for Spawr while surpassing the 9,000- win plateau that day. Enjoyed his most lucrative year in 2001 when runners earned $2,762,746. Ranked 46th nationally in 2000 when earnings reached $2,544,907 with 83 wins from 372 starters, a winning ratio of 22 percent.

I just think he s matured this year into his full potential. It s that and figuring out what he likes to do. He likes to be out there in front. While his connections were contemplating whether to run Acclamation in the 2011 Breeders Cup Classic or in the Turf, he developed a foot problem that sent him to the sidelines for the remainder of 2011 after having earned over $1.1 million within five months. With his stable star out of action, Warren saddled another Old English runner, Norvsky, to win the $175,000 California Cup Classic at Santa Anita. don warren
