Grade 3 winner Conveyance has been retired from racing and will stand the 2016 breeding season at Buck Pond Farm in Versailles, Ky., for a fee to be determined.
Five stakes winners this year are among the eight fillies and mares projected to start in Saturday’s $200,000 Great Lady M. Stakes at Los Alamitos.
Trainer Graham Motion hopes familiarity breeds success when he gives John Velazquez a leg up for the second time on the filly Token of Love in Friday’s $85,000 allowance feature at Belmont Park.
Running without blinkers on June 19, Prosecco romped by 11 1/4 lengths going 6 1/2 furlongs in a quick 1:18.10. If she comes close to the 82 Beyer Speed Figure she earned that day, she will be an easy winner of a first-level allowance race that headlines Friday’s eight-race card at Northlands Park.
Miss Temple City, who represented the United States so well when a solid fourth in the Group 1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot on June 19, likely will make her next start at Saratoga, according to trainer Graham Motion.
When Tough Sunday reaches the wire of Friday’s seventh race at Los Alamitos, chances are jockey Tyler Baze will not be in a hurry to stop. Owner Nick Alexander and trainer Steve Miyadi consider Friday’s race – an optional claimer for California-breds at 5 1/2 furlongs – a prep for the $200,000 Real Good Deal Stakes at Del Mar on Aug. 2. Ideally, Friday’s race would have carded at a longer distance, so Baze may ride Tough Sunday past the finish to gain more from the race.
The California stakes winners Ashleyluvssugar, Bolo, and Spanish Queen were back at Santa Anita on Tuesday after disappointing performances in Grade 1 stakes in New York and New Jersey last weekend. At least two of them are likely to start at the Del Mar summer meeting, which begins July 16.
Trainer Larry Jones will have the home-field advantage when he sends out two of the eight runners in the $300,000 Delaware Oaks on Saturday.
Trainer Richard Silverman will send out Thirty X in the lone $25,000 elimination, from which the top seven finishers advance to the Mistletoe Shalee final on July 18 at the Big M. Unraced at age 2, Thirty X has two wins and a second-place finish in three lifetime starts for Silverman and breeder/owner Marvin Rounick.
Firing Line, the Kentucky Derby runner-up, will get the rest of the year off and return at age 4, trainer Simon Callaghan said Wednesday at Santa Anita.
