From Del Mar Publicity
DEL MAR, Calif. (Nov. 8, 2014) — One week ago California-bred Big Macher, winner of last summer’s Bing Crosby Stakes, finished ninth in the $1.5 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint after stumbling at the break. Fifteen days from now, the Richard Baltas-trained 4-year-old son of Beau Genius could be seen here in the $100,000 7-furlong Cary Grant Stakes for fellow California-breds.
“He came out of the race very good,” Baltas said earlier this week. “Had a bad break but ran a great race. I just (concluded) that I wasn’t supposed to win.”
The timing for the Cary Grant appears very favorable.
“He had two months off between the Del Mar races and the Breeders’ Cup,” Baltas pointed out. “He’s a fresh horse. He doesn’t need a rest. We’re not resting him.”
