TRAINER JOCKEY STANDINGS

SURPRISES TOP JOCKEY, TRAINER STANDINGS AFTER FIRST WEEK

The first week of the meeting brought surprises, and not just from the weather. Take a look at the jockey and trainer leader boards.

Flavien Prat, a Del Mar regular for the first time, tops the rider standings after the first week of the 76th summer meeting. While Jeff Mullins, who won the 2005 training title but concedes he doesn't have the horses (numerically) to harbor thoughts of such an accomplishment in 2015, matched defending co-champion Peter Miller win-for-win.

Prat rode winters and springs at Hollywood Park or Santa Anita since 2009 but returned to his native France for summer assignments. A decision to remain stateside this year and settle in at Del Mar, paid immediate dividends with six wins in the first four days of the meeting. It was one more score than Santiago Gonzalez, who notched four of his five wins on Sunday, among them the San Clemente Handicap aboard Prize Exhibit for trainer Jim Cassidy.

Joe Talamo also had five and three-time defending meeting riding champion Rafael Bejarano won four.

Mullins sent out seven horses the opening week and won four times. Two of the victories came in stakes races, the Oceanside on Opening Day Thursday with Soul Driver and the Grade I Eddie Read on Saturday with Gabriel Charles.

Miller saddled 24 horses and won four races as well. His 2014 co-titleist Jerry Hollendorfer won three races from 10 starters.
