All-Graded Stakes Cross Country Pick 5 Pays $2,116 To Winners

Saturday's all-graded stakes Cross Country Pick 5, featuring three Grade 1s and a pair of Grade 2 contests spread between Saratoga and Del Mar, paid $2,116.75 for selecting all five winners for the 50-cent wager. The total pool was $230,194.

Saratoga hosted the first two legs of the sequence, starting with Technical Analysis capturing the $200,000 Grade 2 Lake Placid for 3-year-old fillies in Race 9. The even-money favorite, trained by Chad Brown and ridden by Jose Ortiz, bested Runaway Rumour by 3 1/2 lengths in the 1 1/16-mile Mellon turf course, completing the course in 1:46.49. Technical Analysis paid $4.20 on a $2 win wager.

In the next race, Malathaat won as the odds-on favorite, winning for the sixth time in seven career starts by posting a 1 1/2-length score in the $600,000 Grade 1 Alabama for sophomore fillies contesting 1 1/4 miles on the main track. Trained by Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher, Malathaat ran second in her previous race, finishing a head back to Maracuja in the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks in July at the Spa. Teamed again with Hall of Famer John Velazquez, Malathaat [$3.10] turned the tables on her rival, posting a final time of 2:02.59 in outkicking Clairiere. Maracuja finished last of seven.

Evening racing at California's Del Mar concluded the Cross Country Pick 5, starting with Going Global's one-length win in the $300,000 Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks for sophomore fillies competing at 1 1/18 miles on the turf in Race 9. The Philip D'Amato trainee gave the sequence its third consecutive favorite to earn a winner's circle trip, as Going Global, under jockey Flavien Prat, topped Closing Remarks, hitting the wire in 1:48.91. Going Global paid $4.80.

Tripoli was the first non-favorite to get the job done, winning the $1 million Grade 1 Pacific Classic by 1 1/4 lengths for trainer John Sadler in Race 10. Held at the classic distance of 1 1/4 miles, the Pacific Classic saw Tripoli stalk in third position before making a bid from the inside and outkicking Tizamagician. Dr Post, the runner-up in the 2020 Grade 1 Belmont Stakes, ran third. Tripoli, ridden by Tiago Pereira, paid $15 for his effort that culminated with a 2:02.37 final time.

Astronaut soared in the finale, winning the $300,000 Grade 2 Del Mar Handicap by a half-length in Race 11. Trained by John Shirreffs, Astronaut won at 24-1 [$50] under a strong ride by Hall of Famer Victor Espinoza, completing the 1 3/8-mile turf course in 2:15.97. Master Piece, off at 22-1, finished second for the high-priced exacta at $458.20 on a $1 bet.

The minimum bet for the multi-track, multi-race wager is 50 cents. Wagering on the Cross Country Pick 5 is also available on track, on ADW platforms, and at simulcast facilities across the country. Every week will feature a mandatory payout of the net pool.

The Cross Country Pick 5 will continue each Saturday throughout the year. For more information, visit NYRABets.com.

Going Global Gets The Right Trip To Win Del Mar Oaks

After finishing second to Madone in the Grade 2 San Clemente last out, Going Global (IRE) returned to the familiar confines of the winner's circle thanks to Flavien Prat's bold move between horses at the top of the Del Mar stretch. Clear of the field, Going Global drew away to win the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks by a length at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club in Del Mar, Calif.

The Phil D'Amato trained 3-year-old filly broke cleanly from the third post, with Prat putting his mount in the middle of the field early in the 1 1/8-mile G1 stakes. Javanica, coming off a wire-to-wire win in an optional claiming race in mid-July, took the lead, with Feathers, Ivy League, and Closing Remarks behind her. With early fractions of :24.35 and :48.66, Javanica ran easily on the front, Going Global still in fifth behind her entering the final turn. After a moderate three-quarters in 1:13.59, Javanica entered the stretch with the closers on her heels, Feathers trying to pass her as Prat split horses to move his filly into position.

Javanica could not hold on to her lead as Going Global found clear running off the rail, passing the former front-runner and striding out to a one-length victory. Closing Remarks was second, with Fluffy Socks third and Feathers fourth. Madone, Javanica, Ivy League, Soaring Sky, and Tetragonal rounded out the field.

The final time for the 1 1/8-mile G1 Del Mar Oaks was 1:48.91. Find this race's chart here.

Going Global paid $4.80, $3.00, and $2.40. Closing Remarks paid $5.40 and $3.40. Fluffy Socks paid $2.80.

Bred in Ireland by N. Hartery, Going Global is by Mehmas out of Wrood, by Invasor. She is owned by CYBT, Michael Dubb, Saul Gevertz, Michael Nentwig, and Ray Pagano. Consigned by the Castlebridge Consignment, she was purchased by Pioneer Racing for $16,987 at the 2019 Goffs Sportsman's Yearling Sale. With her win in the G1 Del Mar Oaks, Going Global has five wins in six starts in 2021, for a lifetime record of six wins in 10 starts and career earnings of $468,792.

Prat Increases Lead In Del Mar Jockey Standings, Looks To Add More Saturday

With two wins yesterday, Flavien Prat increased his lead from four to six victories over Abel Cedillo and five to seven over Juan Hernandez atop the jockey standings entering the final 11 days of the 31-day meeting. Prat is looking to make it three straight riding titles at the summer meeting and five of the last six either taken outright or shared.

Prat has recorded six stakes victories, working toward the record 14 stakes in a season he established last year.

And, in terms of quantity and quality, the 29-year-old native of France appears positioned to advance toward both those goals with his mounts on the TVG Pacific Class Day program that is the annual highlight of the season.

Prat has mounts scheduled in all 11 races, five of which are stakes. In the six non-stakes events he is booked on two morning-line favorites – Barbwire (5th, 3-1) and Dream Shake (8th, 7-2) — and has no mounts higher than 4-1 in the early odds. During the run of five stakes in six races, here are Prat's runners on oddsmaker Jon White's morning line:

Race 6, Torrey Pines – Private Mission for trainer Bob Baffert, 9-5 favorite.

Race 7, Del Mar Mile – Mo Forza for trainer Peter Miller, 8-5 favorite.

Race 9, Del Mar Oaks – Going Global for trainer Phil D'Amato, 9-5 favorite.

Race 10, Pacific Classic – Tizamagician for trainer Richard Mandella, 4-1, co-fourth choice.

Race 11, Del Mar Handicap – United for Mandella, 2-1 favorite.

Of course, all that stands in the way of Prat's success today is 83 other horses and 22 other riders intent on success of their own.

Del Mar Oaks Serves as Tie Breaker for Madone and Going Global

Madone (Vancouver {Aus}) and Going Global (Ire) (Mehmas {Ire}) have one win each from their two prior meetings and look to break that tie Saturday in the GI Del Mar Oaks.

Starting off her sophomore season with a victory in the GIII Senorita S. at Santa Anita May 1, Madone faded to sixth behind Going Global in the GIII Honeymoon S. going nine panels there 21 days later. The dark bay rallied strongly to turn the tables on that foe with a half-length success in Del Mar's one-mile GII San Clemente S. July 24.

Previously campaigned in Europe, Going Global captured her American debut in the GIII Sweet Life S. Feb. 14 and followed suit with victories in the China Doll S. Mar. 6, GIII Providencia S. Apr. 3 and the Honeymoon. Madone ended that streak last out, but Going Global has already proven twice that nine furlongs is right up her alley.

Chad Brown can never be ignored in a turf stakes and he ships in from the East Coast with Fluffy Socks (Slumber {GB}). Winner of the GIII Jimmy Durante S. on her last trip to this oval in November, the bay rallied to be a head second in Aqueduct's Memories of Silver S. Apr. 18. She was fifth in Belmont's GIII Wonder Again S. June 3 and closed to be second to her GII Lake Placid S.-bound stablemate Technical Analysis (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) in Saratoga's GIII Lake George S. July 23.
