Write a feature that weaves together the Breeders’ Cup highlights with Del Mar’s school district performance, highlighting how community events can spark curiosity in STEM. Start with a vivid scene from the racetrack or a local school, then juxtapose racing data (odds, finishes) with CAASPP results to explore data literacy and how numbers tell stories. Include a sidebar that suggests practical classroom activities linking sports statistics to math and science careers. Conclude with a reflection on what local pride in events and schools means for student motivation and future opportunities. End with a compelling question to invite readers to engage with both sports and education beyond the headline.
