Rick Sutcliffe stands for the national anthem during the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club on Friday, Nov. 1, 2024 in Del Mar, CA. DEL MAR — In the paddock at Del Mar racetrack Friday before the $1 million Juvenile Turf Sprint, 18-year big leaguer Rick Sutcliffe and current star Alex Bregman chatted.The Chicago Cubs broadcaster jokingly hinted to Bregman, who is free agency-bound, that a certain National League team might be in the hunt for a third baseman.
Bregman is co-owner of Governor Sam. Sutcliffe, who lives in Encinitas, waded into thoroughbred racing for the first time with Pali Kitten.Governor Sam, named after Bregman’s father, led nearly the entire way before being clipped by Magnum Force and Arizona Blaze at the finish.“Some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet are in the horse-racing business,” Sutcliffe said. “So it’s been an absolute blast. It’s like ‘Groundhog Day.
Sam and Alex Bregman are interviewed by NBC’s Kenny Rice during the Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club on Friday, Nov. 1, 2024 in Del Mar, CA. “It was so meaningful, especially to do it in D.C. where my dad grew up and my grandfather watched so many baseball games,” Alex Bregman said. “It was an incredible experience. My grandfather loved two things, baseball and horse racing. So I know he’s pumped that we’re here today.”Twenty-five years ago, he bought a Cardiff townhome from former Padres and Braves slugger Ryan Klesko. He and his wife, Robin, would come to the area to stiff-arm winter.
