Jockey Drayden Van Dyke wins the $1M Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint, marking his comeback.

Jockey Drayden Van Dyke, 30, achieved a notable comeback by winning the $1 million Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint aboard his long shot, Soul of an Angel. Following the tragic loss of his father, which led him to temporarily step away from racing, Van Dyke found renewed strength with the support of Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith. This victory marks a significant step in his healing journey as he aspires to match Smith's 28 Breeders' Cup wins.
