With fewer than two weeks to go before the two-day Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar, the elite superstars are training in the morning or walking the shedrow, leaving afternoon racing to run-of-the-mill, lower-class starters. Hence, more difficult, subpar racing cards like today. As for Friday, jockey Luis Saez won three consecutive races, while Tyler Gaffalione, fresh off his two-day suspension, won a pair.
