1993 Breeders' Cup Distaff • • • Eddie Delahoussaye dropped his whip, but Hollywood Wildcat picked up the first-place check, and that's what mattered to Neil Drysdale, the trainer of the 3-year-old filly who beat Paseana, the winner of last year's Distaff, in the 1 1/8-mile race. • • With about 20 yards to go, Delahoussaye started to twirl the whip in his right hand, but it got away from him. He slapped Hollywood Wildcat on the neck a few times in the final strides before the wire. • • Neither Drysdale nor the owners and breeders of Hollywood Wildcat, Irving and Marjorie Cowan of Hollywood, Fla., noticed Delahoussaye's mistake from their box-seat vantage point. • • I would have had a heart attack if I had seen him drop it, Irving Cowan said. • • Said Delahoussaye: Maybe it wouldn't have made any difference, but it was pretty close. As a professional rider, though, I'm a little embarrassed that it happened. I've dropped a whip before, all jockeys have, but this is the first time it's happened in a million-dollar race. • • Delahoussaye also won the Sprint with Cardmania, and Hollywood Wildcat gave him and Drysdale their fourth Breeders' Cup victory together. They previously won with Princess Rooney, Prized and A.P. Indy. • • I guess it's a good thing the filly won, Drysdale said of the dropped whip. Otherwise, we wouldn't have let Eddie forget it. • • Hollywood Wildcat, undefeated in five starts since the Cowans moved the filly from Florida to California this summer, paid $4.60 and was timed in 1:48 1/5. Paseana carried 123 pounds, three more than Hollywood Wildcat. • • http://articles.latimes.com/1993-11-0...
