Trainer Mark Glatt suspected that a try on Santa Anita Park’s 6 1/2-furlong downhill course could be just the trick for his turf sprinter Whatmakessammyrun.

Jockey Victory Espinoza kept Beyond Brilliant on a “long rein,” and Beyond Brilliant relaxed on the lead, the key to his victory, said trainer John Shirreffs.

Trainer Bob Baffert continued his reign over the Awesome Again Stakes (G1) at Santa Anita Park, winning the $300,000 race for the eighth time Oct. 1 with Defunded.

After running the quickest split of last year’s Prix de la Foret (G1) before finishing fourth, Kinross is back—having improved significantly—for another crack in this year’s edition of the about-seven furlong sprint.

J and N Stables and Diamond M Stable’s Dancing Buck broke sharply and took a lead he never relinquished Oct. 1, leading at every point of call and storming home to a five-length victory in the $200,000 Belmont Turf Sprint (G3T).

Hot Rod Charlie and Rich Strike, who previously brought cheers from Churchill Downs fans when competing in separate editions of Kentucky Derby (G1), put on another show beneath the Twin Spires, this time together in the Oct. 1 Lukas Classic (G2).

Howbeit ends a run of tough luck to win the Santa Anita Sprint Championship.

The Oct. 2 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe (G1) has always been the ultimate destination for Luxembourg, who will face the likes of 2021 winner Torquator Tasso and the brilliant racemare Alpinista among 20 horses in the ParisLongchamp feature.

Gross for the overall sale conducted Oct. 1 was $1,785,400.

Masteroffoxhounds led the way in the John Henry Turf Championship (G2T) and had just enough left to hang on at the end for the victory.
