Regal Glory put an exclamation point on her career in Sunday’s Matriarch (G1) with Flavien Prat, who also rode Speed Boat Beach on a six-win closing day at Del Mar.

After scoring a Grade 1 breakthrough in last fall’s Matriarch (G1), Regal Glory prolonged her racing career with a winning spree. Now the Chad Brown mare comes full circle for a title defense in Sunday’s $400,000 renewal at Del Mar.

Odds-on favorites were upended in both of Del Mar’s graded stakes on Saturday. And Tell Me Nolies nailed the 7-10 Home Cooking in the Del Mar Debutante, and Avenue de France beat 1-2 choice Going Global to the punch in the John C. Mabee.

Returning to the site of her greatest victory, Going Global had no difficulty cruising to victory in Saturday’s Yellow Ribbon H. (G2) at Del Mar.

Del Mar’s Saturday stakes feature the distaff set, with the Yellow Ribbon H. (G2) for turfistes and the Sorrento (G2) for juvenile fillies.

In the trio of graded turf stakes on Santa Anita Derby Day, Going Global made it look easy in her Royal Heroine (G2) comeback, Kentucky invader Brooke Marie plundered the Monrovia (G2), and Cairo Memories wired the Providencia (G3).
