1999 Goodwood BC Handicap - Budroyale [02:28]
A Boston Red Sox fan since he was 8 years old, Ted West hit the daily double Saturday. His baseball team got back into the American League playoffs and his durable gelding, Budroyale, earned a ticket for the Breeders' Cup by knocking off General Challenge in the $498000 Goodwood Breeders' Cup Handicap at Santa Anita. Ted H. West, Ted West's son, trains Budroyale now, having taken over the stable in April when his father got into trouble with California racing authorities, but the Wests will go to Florida as a team when they try to duplicate Saturday's upset in the $4-million Breeders' Cup Classic at Gulfstream Park on Nov. 6. Ted West, 62, turned over 24 horses and Budroyale to his son when he was fined $12000 and suspended for 90 days after eight of his horses that ran in 1998 tested positive for the controversial drug clenbuterol. Horses can train but not race on the drug in California. One of West's positives came after a win by Budroyale at Hollywood Park. "We don't give it to Budroyale anymore, we'd be crazy to after what they did to me," the elder West said. "But I still believe in the medication--I think it's good for horses--and Kentucky, which is about 100 years ahead of California, just recently came out with clenbuterol rules that make more sense." It was the trainer's father who spent $50000 to claim Budroyale from trainer Nick Canani as the California-bred was winning a race at Santa Anita in February 1998. That was the last in a succession of claims for ...

1999 Hollywood Gold Cup Grade I [09:44]
With an eighth of a mile to run in Sunday's $1-million Sempra Energy Hollywood Gold Cup at Hollywood Park, Mike Pegram--the owner of 9-10 favorite Real Quiet--was hardly a fan of jockey Jerry Bailey. "I wasn't a happy camper," said Pegram, questioning the riding tactics of Bailey at that point. With an eighth of a mile to run in Sunday's $1-million Sempra Energy Hollywood Gold Cup at Hollywood Park, Mike Pegram--the owner of 9-10 favorite Real Quiet--was hardly a fan of jockey Jerry Bailey. "I wasn't a happy camper," said Pegram, questioning the riding tactics of Bailey at that point. Proving again that horses can have troubled trips no matter the size of the field--in this instance four horses--Real Quiet lacked room along the inside entering the stretch, then was blocked again while trying to rally. But room finally developed when Bailey, one of the world's best jockeys, moved back to the rail and Real Quiet got up to beat Budroyale, the longest shot at nearly 8-1, by a half-length in 1:59 3/5 for the 1 1/4 miles. This made trainer Bob Baffert a winner with his first starter in the Gold Cup and left Real Quiet, who needed every bit of the 10 furlongs to win for the sixth time in 20 starts, unbeaten in four tries at the distance. The $600000 winner's share pushed his career earnings to $3271803. Of course, it also left Pegram feeling differently about Bailey, who rode Real Quiet--the 1998 Kentucky Derby winner--for the first time Sunday after Gary Stevens decided not to ...

2000 Santa Anita Handicap Grade I [02:07]
career. That Budroyale is such a warrior. He just fights and fights. Any brown I had in my hair is just white now because of him. It's a big thrill for me to win the Big 'Cap." Day said Cat Thief, the 2.20-to-1 second betting choice, had no excuse. "Budroyale went by him and he just didn't insist. He normally plays cat-and-mouse at that point. He didn't do that today," he said. The $600000 winner's purse raised General Challenge's career earnings to $2596920. Six Big 'Cap starters went to ...
