King Glorious Stakes at Hollywood Park is won by 60-1 shot Weewinnin
The final day of the 24-day Betfair Hollywood Park autumn meeting Sunday produced a 60-1 shocker in the $200,000 King Glorious Stakes. Weewinnin, under jockey Jose Valdivia Jr., pulled off the upset in the seven-furlong race for Cal-bred 2-year-olds.
Weewinnin, trained by Brian Koriner, returned $122.00, $54.20 and $20.40. Fighting Hussar finished second and Monument third.
The riding title was won for the first time by 30-year-old jockey Edwin Maldonado, who finished one victory ahead of Rafael Bejarano. Maldonado also won at Fairplex Park.
It was another sign that the decision of jockey Joel Rosario to leave for the East Coast in October has opened up the jockey competition. Joe Talamo won the Santa Anita autumn meeting.
Bob Baffert won the training title.
After a week off, racing moves to Santa Anita for the 76th season of racing, scheduled to begin at noon on the day after Christmas and run through April 21.
