From Santa Anita Publicity ARCADIA, CA (Sept. 25, 2025)—Few in history have had as massive an impact on California’s Thoroughbred industry as John Harris. Up until his death in July at the age of 81, the late owner of Harris Farms in central California remained immersed in all facets of the sport he loved. To honor Harris’s immense legacy, Santa Anita on Saturday will host what is now known as the John C. Harris Stakes. For 3-year-old fillies at about 6 ½ furlongs on Santa Anita’s unique hillside turf course, the race was previously named the Unzip Me Stakes in honor of the top racemare Harris co-bred and campaigned in partnership. “John Harris’s contributions to the Thoroughbred industry in our state cannot be overstated and his support was unwavering,” Santa Anita said in a statement. “The green and white Harris Farms silks were omnipresent in Santa Anita’s Winner’s Circle and the legacy of the man they represent will be everlasting.” In addition to being one of California’s top owners and... ...

By DRF.com ARCADIA, Calif. (Sept. 21, 2025) — California-bred Lovesick Blues will take a downhill detour on his path to the Breeders’ Cup Sprint. After his $39.20 upset in the Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes on July 26 at Del Mar, plans called for Lovesick Blues to train into the BC Sprint three months later on Nov. 1 at Del Mar. Then trainer Librado Barocio reconsidered. “The more I thought about it, it’s a long road, and if he’s going to be on his game (for the BC Sprint), I need to tighten him up a little bit,” Borocio said Sunday at Santa Anita. “I think I’ll run him down the hill.” Rather than train Lovesick Blues into the BC Sprint, Borocio will start Lovesick Blues in the $100,000 California Flag Handicap on Oct. 11 at Santa Anita. A hillside turf sprint for Cal-breds might seem an unorthodox move for a BC Sprint candidate, but turf to dirt worked perfectly this summer. :: Access the most trusted data and information... ...

By DRF.com CYPRESS, Calif. (Sept. 11, 2025) — Daytime racing at Los Alamitos resumes Friday without the pomp of Del Mar summer or Santa Anita fall, but at least Los Alamitos will enter its September meet with momentum. Los Alamitos is fresh from a field-size windfall at its June-July meet, with 7.64 horses per race marking the highest average field for a June-July meet since day racing began 12 years ago. The increase, from 6.91 last year, was due to the Northern California shutdown, which caused horses to trickle to Los Alamitos races. “As far as the inventory that’s available to race, it’s been a phenomenal change,” Los Alamitos racing secretary Randy Valdez said. “We had really good fields at the [June-July] meeting, and that had a lot to do with the horsemen from up North.” The two-week Los Alamitos meet that begins Friday is the first September meet at Los Alamitos since Northern California racing ended. Valdez is hopeful the uptick in field size will continue. “It’s hard to predict... ...

By DRF.com DEL MAR, Calif. – It is widely known 3-year-old fillies have few stakes opportunities on dirt in summer at Del Mar, and they receive even less recognition. It’s unfortunate, because the $150,000 Grade 3 Torrey Pines on Saturday includes two bright lights in the filly dirt division.

The stakes is the first leg of the pick six and Del Mar’s only graded stakes on dirt for 3-year-old fillies.

By DRF.com DEL MAR, Calif. (Aug. 27, 2025) – For much of the summer, California-bred Boss Sully was scheduled to be sent to Kentucky Downs for Saturday’s Grade 2 Turf Sprint and a chance to chase a $2 million prize. As the race neared, however, trainer Brian Koriner reversed his decision. Boss Sully has remained in California for Saturday’s Grade 3 Green Flash Handicap at Del Mar, which is worth a mere $150,000. Travel concerns and confusion regarding whether Boss Sully would gain a position in the field of 12 at Kentucky Downs factored into staying at Del Mar, Koriner said. “It became a mess,” he said on Thursday. “We decided to stay home.” The long-term objective remains the same: getting Boss Sully to the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar on Nov. 1.

By DRF.com DEL MAR, Calif. (Aug. 3, 2025) — Favorites always win the Graduation Stakes in summer at Del Mar, so the pressure is on 2-year-old Hero Or Zero for the second start of his career on Friday.Runaway debut winner at Santa Anita, Hero Or Zero is likely to start favored in the $100,000 Graduation, a five-furlong stakes for Golden State Series-rligible 2-year-olds shortened this year from 5 1/2 furlongs.

By DRF.com DEL MAR, Calif. (July 23, 2025) — The simple approach with California-bred Pushiness for Saturday’s $100,000 Daisycutter Handicap at five furlongs on turf at Del Mar is to let the four-time winner take her customary position as a pacesetter. How she does over the next 55 seconds or so is slightly harder to assess. “There is not really a strategy,” trainer Michael McCarthy said. “We’ll let her run away from there. She’s naturally fast.” So is Imaboutago, who could pressure Pushiness in the Daisycutter, which drew a field of 10 fillies and mares, including fellow Cal-bred multiple stakes winner Chismosa. :: Play to Win at Del Mar!

By Drf.com DEL MAR, Calif. – Two fillies from opposite sides of the country and with opposite styles of running share the same objective Friday at Del Mar – win the $150,000 Fleet Treat Stakes for Golden State Series-eligible 3-year-old fillies bred in California.
