1999 Ramona Handicap [03:22]
The only Del Mar record that might approach the one trainer Bob Baffert set Saturday is jockey Bill Shoemaker's 94-win season in 1954. Among trainers, Baffert's feat stands alone. They ran five Grade I races here this summer, and Baffert won them all, concluding with Tuzla's survival in a four-horse scramble to the wire in the $400000 Ramona Handicap. To win all the Grade I's Del Mar had to offer, Baffert's stable needed a cross-section of good horses. Preceding Tuzla, a 5-year-old grass mare, were Joe Who in the Eddie Read Handicap, Tout Charmant in the Del Mar Oaks, General Challenge in the Pacific Classic and Chilukki in the Vinery Del Mar Debutante. Chilukki was the only favorite in the quintet. Tuzla, who had been favored in seven of her last eight starts, went off at 4-1 in the Ramona, having been beaten here three weeks ago and suspect at the 1 1/8-mile distance. "She's got so much heart," Baffert said. "When you have a win machine, it makes my job a lot easier. Dana Barnes, who gets on her in the mornings, got her to relax and told me the mile and an eighth would be no problem." At the wire, Tuzla was a head better than Happyanunoit, who was a head in front of Spanish Fern. Que Belle, who finished fourth, was only another neck back. Tranquility Lake, the even-money favorite, finished fifth after leading in mid-stretch. Bobby Frankel, a three-time winner of the Ramona, trains Happyanunoit and Spanish Fern, and Julio Canani, who trains Tranquility Lake, used to ...

1997 Queen's Plate Stakes - Awesome Again [02:30]
When Awesome Again made his unheralded arrival for the 1997 Queen's Plate, he had a bankroll of $25000 from two career starts, both in California and both in the five weeks before the Plate. A year later he would retire as the richest Canadian-bred in history with earnings of more than $4.3 million. The rookie won the Plate by almost four lengths in his only appearance on Canadian soil. Owner Frank Stronach felt the colt could challenge the best in the US, which he did. At age 4 he was undefeated in five races before facing one of the greatest fields ever assembled in the $5 million (US) Breeders' Cup Classic in Louisville, upsetting Silver Charm, Swain, Victory Gallop, Skip Away, Gentleman and Touch Gold. Awesome on the track, the son of Canadian champion sire Deputy Minister was also awesome in the breeding shed, siring Breeders' Cup winners Ghostzapper and Wilko.
