    • Waymark (Liam's Map) made his debut a winning one as he ran to his 3-2 odds here. At the bell as a blitz for the top spot ensued, the colt watched from the outside up the backstretch. The 2-year-old flexed his muscles with a four-wide move around the far turn and picked up fellow 'Insight' runner High Camp (Instagrand). Blazing down the lane, Waymark aimed for the wire and scored, but High Camp put in a game effort with some late speed of his own. Autobahn (Nyquist), another 'Insight' horse, was fifth. The winner is a half-brother to Caddo River (Hard Spun), SW & GISP, $838,116. Shortleaf-owned Pangburn, who the farm acquired as a summer yearling from Fasig-Tipton for $130,000 in 2013 and is a half-sister to GSW Eres Tu (Malibu Moon), is also responsible for a yearling colt by Good Magic and a weanling filly by Hard Spun. She visited Charlatan for next spring. 7th-Gulfstream, $40,000, Msw, 12-28, 2yo, 6f, 1:10.87, ft, 1 1/2 lengths.

    • Champion jockey Alberto Delgado, whose Eclipse Award came in 1982 when he was crowned the Champion Apprentice Jockey, has retired from racing. “It's been coming for a long time,” Delgado said. “Over the years, I retired, but never because I wanted to. [It was] because of injuries, concussions. At some point, I was heavy, so I had to retire and get everything straight. Last year, I kept telling myself this would be my last year, and I had to build myself up for it. I still love it, but at some point you've got to step down. You can't keep this madness going.” The announcement came shortly after Sunday's second race at Laurel Park. Delgado, a second-generation jockey from Carolina, Puerto Rico, won 245 races during his Eclipse Award-winning season. That year, on Aug. 16, he rode five consecutive winners at Delaware, then drove to Timonium, where he swept the late daily double. Delgado surpassed the 200-win mark in each of the next four years. In 1995, he finished second in the GI Preakness Stakes aboard Oliver's Twist (Horatius) four weeks after he and the colt won the GIII Federico Tesio Stakes. More recently, during a stint in Southern California in 2013, Delgado rode eventual two-time Horse of the Year California Chrome in five of his first six starts. The Listed Graduation Stakes at Hollywood Park was part of that stretch. He would later be replaced by Victor Espinoza ahead of the Triple Crown bid. “I worked him for the first time, and I knew he was a super horse,” Delgado said. “I told the owner as soon as I broke his maiden that this horse would win the Derby the next year. He was something amazing.” Delgado retires with a record of 2,951 wins in 25,534 rides and career earnings of $42,072,982. He earned 115 stakes wins, including 10 graded triumphs, and captured five Maryland Million races. He reports that his next plan is to move into training horses. “This morning [Sunday], when I woke up, I was tearing up,” Delgado said. “It's funny. I've always made fun of these athletes when they retire. You see the speech, and they're crying. I'm like 'Ah, what a sissy, I can't believe he's crying'. Now, I'm in those shoes, and I know how they feel. It's tough. It's something you've done all your life. All my generation. I was like the Last of the Mohicans. I've got to step aside, and let them do their thing.” The post Champion Jockey Alberto Delgado Calls It a Career after Laurel Park’s Second Race appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • Undefeated GII Saratoga Special victor Ewing (Knicks Go) tallied his first workout Sunday morning at Oaklawn Park since arriving at the venue last Monday. Out to work four furlongs on the main track with Prairie Meadows and Will Rogers Downs riding champion Kylee Jordan in the irons, the grey went over a fast track during the 15-minute workers-only session immediately after the renovation break. Working in company with MGSP Classic Car Wash (Noble Bird), the half-mile was clocked in :47.40 and equaled the fastest time of the morning. Ewing's workmate came in at :49.20 (32/119) at the distance. “A group in front of him broke off and he kind of just wanted to go with them,” said assistant trainer Caden Arthur, who oversees Casse's Oaklawn division. “He's a racehorse. He wanted to pass them. He wanted to be in front and he did that with ease. Kylee was just trying to take it easy with him and she did a good job trying to manage that. He looked great going by.” Casse has indicated that Ewing could make a 3-year-old debut in January before bridging into a Kentucky Derby points race. The grey is unraced since his sensational Saratoga Special victory in August and was being pointed to the GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland back in October before being scratched out in favor of a freshening.
