Doug O'Neill won Sunday's first and fourth races, his best day of the autumn meeting so far. He has chances to accomplish more when Takeo Squared starts as a contender in the sixth race, the Grade 3 Cecil B. DeMille Stakes at a mile on turf for 2-year-olds.
Takeo Squared (1) was third in the Del Mar Juvenile Turf on Sept. 2 after a troubled trip and was fourth, after a poor start, in the Zuma Beach Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 8. With a clean trip, he could win the five-runner DeMille Stakes.
Later, O'Neill runs Bizwhacks in the seventh race, a maiden special weight for 2-year-old filies at six furlongs.
