Hello from sunny Del Mar! Great to be here however before we discuss the excitement of Breeders’ Cup, myself and the ITM team would like to send out our condolences to the family and friends of jockey Miguel Mena. The racing industry is a community and a family. At a time of year where we celebrate some of the best athletes in our sport, we lost a very special one this week. Our thoughts go out to his family, friends and the entire Kentucky racing community at this time.
On the racing scene here in California, Future Stars Friday is getting ready to kick off proceedings to start two of the best days of racing around the world. Thrilled to be in Del Mar and have thoroughly enjoyed seeing many colleagues and fans so far this week. The buzz around Del Mar is contagious and continues to ramp up each day as post time draws near. Make sure to check out all of the coverage of Breeders’ Cup this week, as well as the ample amount of great content put out by our ITM Plus team.
Hope everyone enjoys the next few days of world class racing! If you make it out to Del Mar make sure to stop by and say hello, I’ll be there enjoying the racing and of course recovering from my hot air balloon expedition!
Happy Breeders’ Cup!!

Talk Racing To Me with Naomi – Ep 59 Sophie and James Doyle
In 2015 the brother-sister combination of James and Sophie Doyle made history by competing together at the Keeneland hosted Breeders’ Cup. This time around, at Del Mar, the pair will be riding on the same day, with Sophie getting the leg up on Tough to Tame in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, while the Godolphin retained rider James follows in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf on Dubawi Legend.
The pair talks candidly about their upbringing, how their mother, former trainer Jacqueline Doyle, has guided them throughout their careers and how they both got started riding out in Eastbury and Lambourn. They have continued to support each other throughout their lives, of course combined with a touch of healthy sibling rivalry.
