Flavien Prat is scheduled back from a winless two-day trip to Saratoga with seven scheduled mounts on today's 10-race program, among them The Great One for Doug O'Neill in the $100,000 Shared Belief Stakes which features Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit and Santa Anita Derby winner Rock Your World at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif.
Prat, who has four summer riding titles, solo or shared, in the last five years, starts the last six days of his title defense with an eight-win margin over Juan Hernandez and Abel Cedillo (34-26).
With Prat expected to hold on, the race for second could prove to be most interesting. Hernandez (26 for 158) and Cedillo (26/165) are three ahead of Umberto Rispoli (23/141).
