Hall of Fame jockey leads wire to wire aboard Lord Prancealot in $125,000 Graduation Stakes at Del Mar
Originally scheduled to begin a three-day suspension Thursday stemming from a July 30 incident at Del Mar, Desormeaux appealed and won three races Friday — including a wire-to-wire victory aboard the favored Lord Prancealot in the featured $125,000 Graduation Stakes.Earlier, he won the second race aboard the Bonde-trained Mr. T’s Thirsty . A race later, while subbing for Giovanni Franco, won aboard Double Jam for trainer Andy Mathis.
“He’s so quick,” said Desormeaux of the son of Sir Prancealot. “He surprised me the other day just how quick he is. Turning for home, I was just holding him up. I know he’s quick, I don’t know if he can run farther.” Three races for juveniles are on the schedule, starting with Friday’s Graduation Stakes and extending into the weekend with two key stepping-stone, six-furlong, $200,000 Grade III races — Saturday’s Sorrento Stakes for 2-year-old fillies and Sunday’s Best Pal Stakes for 2-year-old colts.
