Doug O’Neill saddles Del Mar-record 5 winners (The Associated Press)
Doug O’Neill saddled five winners Wednesday at Del Mar to break the track single-day record for a trainer. The 47-year-old O’Neill broke the mark of four set by Red McDaniel on Sept. 4, 1954, and matched by O’Neill two days later, and by Farrell W. Jones in 1963, Ron McAnally in 1989, Jack Van Berg in l995, and John Sadler in 2009. ”Unbelievable,” O’Neill said.
