Aidan is now the most winning Breeders' Cup trainer. He's simply a superb trainer, his work ethic is incredible. You have to love what you do to be successful. Tomorrow we've got Minnie Hauk (IRE) so hopefully we'll have a winner or two."

Balantina heads out for the post parade. Winning jockey Oisin Murphy said, "Irad (Ortiz Jr.) broke inside me but he didn't have a great start and I was able to get up inside him and save ground on the first turn. Got in the back of the favorite (Ultimate Love) and when he switched out turning in I was able to go up the inside, but I had the horse though. She's a great athlete and that's why she was able to handle the track so well."

Cy Fair heads out for the post parade. Winning trainer George Weaver, celebrating his first Breeders' Cup win said, "We've come a couple of times, and they're really tough races to win. You've got to bring the right horse and you've got to have some luck. But it's an exciting thing for me, our team, my family and Cindy. That's why we do what we do. I told the jockey not to get into a speed duel, and he made a move with the filly that was unexpected. And when she came around the bend, turned for home and exploded like that, I was, like, wow. It wasn't really a fast pace. He took her off what wasn't a really strong of a pace, and just like when she exploded like that, I was, like, man, we got a real chance over here."


Kicking off the weekend's stakes action was the $200,000 Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Stakes with 8 two-year-olds going 1 mile on the turf. Jockey Hector Berrios sent 8-5 second choice Conducted to the lead first time by through fractions of 23.69, 48.77, and 1:13.15 while pressed by 6-1 Proton and stalked by 37-1 Migo. Into the stretch Conducted opened up a 1 1/2 length lead through 7f i 1:24.79 and held off Proton the rest of the way to win by 1 1/2 lengths in 1:36.53. It was another length back to late-running 6-5 favorite Plutarch third.

Winning trainer O.J. Jauregui said, "I let Hector (Berrios) do whatever he wants to do. If there were a lot of horses going for the lead, he was going to let the other ones go and if nobody goes, he goes. It looked like everybody was walking there and he went on with it. The horse is getting better. (Early on) He wasn't focused yet. We wanted to run him in a maiden, but he couldn't get in, so I ended up going in the (Del Mar Juvenile Turf) and it turned out to be a race he learned a lot from."

The $175,000 Golden State Juvenile Fillies featured 11 California bred or sired 2-year-old fillies sprinting 7 furlongs on the main track. Jockey Tyler Gaffalione sent 15-2 Cashed to the lead out of the chute through fractions of 21.90 and 44.61 while pressed by 7-2 third choice Too Sassy and stalked by 9-5 favorite Mohaven. Into the stretch Mohaven gained the lead through 3/4 in 1:10.23. Kept to task by Hector Berrios, Mohaven drew off to win by 4 1/4 lengths over Cashed in 1:23.88. It was another 1/2 length back to 9-2 fourth choice Liberation third.

Winning trainer John Sadler said, "She came in a little bit, the other one came out a little bit. They touched but then she straightened right up and won easily so it looked like a good call to me. This is the best draw she's gotten. I know she was on the rail the last race down here (at Del Mar). She ran three good races here, two seconds and a win. Now we had a little time to freshen her and get ready for this one."

The $200,000 Senator Ken Maddy Stakes presented by Breeders' Cup Charities featuring a field of 7 older fillies and mares sprinting 5 furlongs on the turf. 31-1 Marian Cross and 9-1 Jungle Peace dueled for the lead through an opening quarter of 22.32 while stalked by 19-2 Great Venezuela.

It was another 3/4 length back to 5-1 Nay V Belle third.

Winning trainer Jeff Mullins said, "I could see she was full of run behind horses. All she needed was somewhere to go and when Juan angled her out, I could see she had a big head of steam coming. I was pretty sure she was going to get there."

The $175,000 Golden State Juvenile featured a field of 10 California bred or sired 2-year-old males sprinting 7 furlongs. After 17-2 Pavlovian hopped at the start unseating jockey Juan Hernandez, 17-1 Southern Melodee and 4-1 third choice Sammy Davis dueled for the lead through fractions of 22.32 and 44.95 while stalked by 3-1 second choice Thirsty Rebel.

It was another 1/2 length back to 10-1 Can't Help Myself third.

Winning trainer George Papaprodromou said, "He rated right and when Umberto wanted to go he slid right out and made a move at the end and won the race. He's a nice 2-year-old. He's improving with every race. Like today, even Umby said he didn't care about the crowd and showed class. I think he can go longer but for now we'll take it day by day."
