Third BC Victory For Sadler

A 5-year-old son of Full Mast

Hronis Racing’s Full Serrano (ARG) swept to the front at the top of the stretch and had more than enough to hold off Post Time by 1 1/2 lengths to win the 18th running of the $1 million Big Ass Fans Gr1 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile to conclude the two-day World Championships programme at Del Mar.

Trained by John Sadler and ridden by Joel Rosario, Full Serrano completed the mile on a fast main track in 1:35.48.

It is the third Breeders’ Cup victory for Sadler and 16th for Rosario. Rosario previously won the Dirt Mile with Dakota Phone in 2010 and Knicks Go in 2020.

Longshot T O Saint Denis (JPN) led the field through fractions of :22.30 and :45.47 with Full Serrano lurking just to his outside.

On the far turn, Full Serrano went looking for the lead and in the stretch quickly opened up. Post Time rallied from last to get second, 2 ¼ lengths in front of favored Domestic Product.

Full Serrano is a 5-year-old son of Full Mast out of the Jump Start mare Serra Do Mar (ARG).

The victory, which came on the heels of a runner-up effort in the 1 ¼-mile Gr1 Pacific Classic, was worth $520,000 and increased his earnings to $797,223 with a record of 17-6-5-2.
