One day after winning two Breeders’ Cup races for Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert at Del Mar on November 1, Flavien Prat put an exclamation mark on the final day of the Belmont at The Big A fall meet by establishing a new NYRA record for most wins by a jockey on a single card with seven - including six consecutive - victories. Moreover, his try for an eighth fell just a head short in the finale of the 11-race card on which he had 10 mounts and finished second in each of his others.
