The Turf Cup is part of Del Mar’s Fall Turf Festival, a popular destination for shippers because of the time and location of the races, said David Jerkens, Del Mar’s race secretary.

“Clearly at the end of the year, the chances of going back east are very limited,” says Jerkens. “So it fits a certain time when there’s not a lot of competition.”

If D’Amato wins a second consecutive Turf Cup, he will be the first to do so since John Gosden in the 1980s. Now known as the top English-speaking coach, Gosden was then a Southern California coach. He took home three consecutive Turf Cup winners: Alphabatim in 1984, Zoffany in 1985 and Alphabatim again in 1986. In 1986, Bill Shoemaker won over Alphabatim.
