all in Breeders' Cup

Thanksgiving dinner had a different feel to it Nov. 23 for trainer Bill Mott and his family.

As most of the family members gathered in Memphis, there was much to give thanks for.

Mott, the patriarch, is closing out one of the finest years in an illustrious Hall of Fame career that dates back to 1973 and is very likely to be rewarded with his fourth Eclipse Award as the outstanding trainer and first since 2011.

What defines a champion?

Is it talent; the raw ability that gives an athlete the ability to excel in their sport? Is it accomplishments; the record of achievements that their talent enables them to compile? Or is it something else entirely; an innate desire to perform as well as possible and give your all every time you compete?

Breeders’ Cup Saturday was just another day at the office for professional gambler Sean Boarman … until White Abarrio and Elite Power stepped in and helped make that particular day Boarman's best day at the office ever. Thanks to their victories, Boarman became another of the day's top winners at the 2023 Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita. He left the track over $642,000 richer.

White Abarrio improved his rating from a 122 to a 123 in the ninth edition of the Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings for 2023, and the 4-year-old Race Day colt is currently rated as the top dirt horse in the rankings after a win in the $6 million Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic Nov. 4 at Santa Anita Park.
