TRAINER Peter Eurton can only hope that the Del Mar meet this summer can approach that of 2011.
Eurton elevated his stature from solid Southern California conditioner to Grade 1 winner through the accomplishments of Weemissfrankie, who captured the Del Mar Debutante for two-year-old fillies last September.

The 300-acre, 17 barn, two-track training facility has had its ups and downs during its 28-year history, but it is now regarded as one of the country’s most thriving Thoroughbred establishments. And that’s down to the people who have worked there for many years.

These days, Al Stall Jr.’s barn is awash with the sweet smell of success. Blame it on Blame. If you want to get literal about it, the scent is coming from the bale-sized hay steamer by the office, where the warm mist creeping out the sides of the box indicates that it’s removing dust and allergens from the hay that is specifically fed to Grade 1 winner Blame. But you wouldn’t be wrong to look down this shedrow accentuated by the bright, historic colors of Claiborne Farm, broken by the occasional head poking over the webbing, and think there’s something more magical in the air than the effects of a hay steamer at work.

When trainer Carl O'Callaghan returned to Hollywood Park from England with sprinter Kinsale King in July, a surprise gift awaited them. Three six-packs of Guinness ale and a cooler sat in O'Callaghans stable office in Barn 53 North with a note from Joshua Christian, racing program manager for Breeders Cup Limited:
A fan-favorite on the U.S. steeplechase racing circuit, Danielle Hodsdon is known to give the boys a run for their money, routinely ending high in the standings in a male-dominated sport.
