Of the three Breeders’ Cup Challenge Series races last weekend at Woodbine, trainer Mark Casse won two of them: the Grade 1 Johnnie Walker Natalma Stakes with And One More Time and the Grade 1 Rogers Woodbine Mile Stakes with Win for the Money. Casse also swept first, second, and third in the Natalma while earning his eighth career victory in the race.

In addition to Casse’s win with Win for the Money in the Woodbine Mile, he also finished second with Filo Di Arianna. On the same day, almost 600 miles south in Louisville, Ky., Casse won the Grade 3 Pocahontas Stakes with La Cara, who earned 10 points at Churchill Downs in the first “Road to the Longines Kentucky Oaks” race.
