Juan Hernandez rode 11 winners over the Thanksgiving weekend vaulting him past defending champion Flavien Prat into a lead in Del Mar jockey standings he would never relinquish as he won the Bing Crosby Season title with 21 victories. Prat finished second with 19. It’s Hernandez’ second fall meet riding crown and fourth title overall at the seaside oval. 

Phil D’Amato clinched the trainers title with 14 wins, including four stakes victories. It is D’Amato’s third straight fall meet title and fourth straight Del Mar trainers’ title overall. Peter Miller and Bob Baffert were the closest to D’Amato with eight wins apiece. 

Klaravich Stables of Seth Klarman of Boston, MA. secured the owners title based on earnings thanks to Surge Capacity’s run up the rail and win in the G1 Matriarch. Klaravich and trainer Chad Brown won both Grade I races on closing weekend and $360,500 during the Bing Crosby Season. Reddam Racing had the most wins by an owner with three.
