Global Tote, one of the three major bet-processing companies in the United States, has launched an account-wagering service using the brand of Monmouth Park in New Jersey, the two companies have announced.

The new advanced-deposit wagering operation, or ADW, is a major foray by Global Tote into the account-wagering market. The operation, called Monmouthbets, is currently available to residents of Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, Global Tote said.

Trainer Whit Beckman hopes Drexel Hill is the cure for his lengthy bout with seconditis when he sends the 2025 Kentucky Oaks runner-up out as the likely favorite in Saturday’s $125,000 Wayward Lass Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs.

The Wayward Lass, at 1 1/16 miles, is the co-feature on a race card that includes the $125,000 Gasparilla Stakes for 3-year-old fillies. The $125,000 Pasco Stakes, for 3-year-old males, did not draw enough entries to fill for Saturday.

ARCADIA, Calif. – A winter sprint stakes for 3-year-olds at Santa Anita, the Grade 2 San Vicente looks the same every year – small fields, short prices, Bob Baffert-trained winners.

The cycle repeats Saturday when Grade 1-placed Buetane returns as the San Vicente favorite. The race drew five runners, which is average for the San Vicente the past decade. Baffert-trained favorites have won five of the last six; he has won the stakes a record 14 times.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – There is not a stakes race on Saturday’s nine-race program at Aqueduct, but there are a few horses on the card who will likely turn up in stakes on future Saturdays later in the meet.

In For the Ladies and Interstatelovesong, trainer Tom Morley has two 3-year-old fillies he hopes have stakes in their future. Both are entered in a first-level allowance race at six furlongs that goes as race 2. Whether both front-running types run remains to be seen, but either has the ability to win Saturday.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Even though the $100,000 Santa Ynez Stakes was postponed six days and includes the late entry of a Grade 1 winner, the season’s first dirt stakes for 3-year-old fillies in California is likely to produce a predictable result Saturday at Santa Anita.

Explora, runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies, would be the eighth straight favorite to win the seven-furlong Santa Ynez, though the race got tougher when it was redrawn.

Laurel Park will kick off its 2026 winter meet with a 10-race card Friday, featuring a $53,000 allowance for older fillies and mares and three races restricted to new 3-year-olds. In the twilight of its 115-year lifespan, the track is preparing for one of its biggest years to date.

To maximize the number of races per card during the quietest part of the racing year, Laurel will conduct racing on Fridays and Saturdays through January. Sunday cards will be added in February.
