This time last year, trying to find a 3-year-old with a triple-digit Beyer was an exercise in futility. The figures suggested it was a very weak group. Contrast that group with this group. Uncle Mo's 108 in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile was better than anything the winners of the 2009 Triple Crown races did in any of their races.
The Factor, who set a track record for six furlongs of 1:06.98 on Dec. 26, had his first workout since that race at Hollywood Park on Tuesday and is scheduled to make his 3-year-old debut in the $150,000 San Vicente Stakes over seven furlongs on Feb. 20.
Ten Devils faces a potentially career-altering race in Saturday’s $250,000 Robert Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita. After racing on turf in his first three starts, Ten Devils makes his debut on the main track in the Grade 2 Lewis, a key prep for the $1 million Santa Anita Derby on April 9.
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Mucho Macho Man, who finished fourth as the favorite in the Grade 3 Holy Bull in his 3-year-old debut, could make his next start in the Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds, trainer Kathy Ritvo said on Wednesday.
Wine Police, who looked like one of the better 2-year-olds at Saratoga last summer, is working steadily at Fair Grounds toward his 2011 debut.
The field for the Grade 3, $200,000 El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate on Saturday will include the third Grade 1 winner in the race’s history: Comma to the Top, the likely favorite, won the Grade 1 CashCall Futurity in December at Hollywood Park.
Dianne Cotter said she didn’t have seller’s remorse after watching Bellamy Road go through the auction ring in 2004 as a 2-year-old for $87,000 and return a year to win the Wood Memorial by 17 1/2 lengths and head to Louisville as the Kentucky Derby favorite. However, she did tell herself that if she ever got a chance to breed a mare to Bellamy Road she would keep the offspring to race.
One day after watching one of his top Kentucky Derby prospects, Casper’s Touch, suffer through a horrendous trip in his 3-year-old debut at Gulfstream Park on Saturday, trainer Ken McPeek was calm and composed discussing the unfortunate circumstances that led to the colt’s second-place finish as the even-money favorite in the nine-furlong, entry-level allowance event
Brethren, a half-brother to 2010 Kentucky Deby winner Super Saver, is being pointed for Saturday’s Grade 3, $225,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes for his 2011 debut, according to trainer Todd Pletcher.
