Thoroughbred Owners of California

🏇💨 WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BREEZE AND A REGULAR WORKOUT?

Ever wondered why trainers put their horses through timed workouts, or what they’re looking to achieve?

In the latest installment of our Behind the Scenes at @delmarracing series, top trainer @PhilDamato11 explains the difference between a routine morning of exercise and a breeze… and why both are important when preparing a Thoroughbred for race day.

🎥 A fascinating insight into the training process from one of California’s leading horsemen!

Nick Alexander is alone at the top of the leaderboard for leading owner of the @DelMarRacing Autumn Meet after a fast start across opening weekend 👏
