Rose’s Desert, a multiple stakes winner who as a broodmare has produced five stakes winners led by $12 million earner Senor Buscador, had a debut winner last weekend at Remington Park.

The Hell We Did was a neck winner of a maiden special weight for 2-year-olds. He is a son of Authentic who races for the same connections as Senor Buscador, who also won his debut at 2 at Remington.

The Hell We Did won over six furlongs under David Cabrera.

Free Like a Girl, who rose from a $5,500 yearling purchase to become the all-time richest Louisiana-bred with earnings of $2.5 million, was scheduled to leave her homestate this week to sell at a Nov. 3 auction at Fasig-Tipton in Lexington, Ky., according to her co-owner and trainer, Chasey Deville Pomier.

“We’ll make our way to the Night of the Stars sale,” she said.

The first four finishers in the $100,000 Storm Cat will square off again in the $75,000 Jump Start Stakes on Wednesday at Parx Racing. Ninetyprcentmaddie, the 5-1 victor that day for trainer Butch Reid, will go for his second statebred stakes win in a row after snapping a losing streak that went back to October 2023.

“For his sake, as much for anybody else’s sake, he needed to get a little confidence back in himself,” Reid said. “And I think he really has. He’s trained just brilliantly since that start. He’s really back on his toes and looking like he did in times past.”

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Orlando Quinones, a member of the New York Racing Association gate crew, was suspended one year by the New York State Gaming Commission for abusing a horse while attempting to school him at the starting gate during the Saratoga summer meet.

According to a commission ruling, Quinones, while attempting to load the unraced 2-year-old, Mr. Miracle, into the starting gate, “became aggressive with the horse and caused multiple visible injuries to the muzzle and bridge of the nose area of the animal.”

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The 2-year-old colts Renegade and Paladin, separated by a head in a one-mile maiden race at Aqueduct last Friday, are likely to meet again in the Grade 2, $250,000 Remsen Stakes going 1 1/8 miles on Dec. 6, the trainers of both horses said.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Mythical Man will be taking a sharp drop in class Wednesday when he runs in a starter allowance/optional $40,000 claiming race on an eight-race card at Aqueduct.

Typically dark on Wednesdays, Aqueduct is holding this card to make up for the cancellation of the Oct. 12 program due to a forecasted nor’easter. Seven of the eight races on Wednesday were part of that nine-race program.

Explora, winner of the Grade 2 Oak Leaf Stakes on Oct. 4 at Santa Anita, worked six furlongs in 1:13.20 on Monday at Santa Anita in advance of a scheduled start in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies on Oct. 31 at Del Mar.

Explora is likely to be favored in the BC Juvenile Fillies for trainer Bob Baffert, who also plans to start Bottle of Rouge in the 1 1/16-mile race. The winner of the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante at seven furlongs on Sept. 6, Bottle of Rouge worked five furlongs in 59.40 seconds on Sunday at Santa Anita, the fastest of 75 recorded works at the distance.

A groom based at Del Mar during the summer has been suspended 10 years for possession of an electrical device in the stable area, according to a ruling published Sunday by Santa Anita stewards Grant Baker, Luis Jauregui, and Kim Sawyer.

Victor Donis was found in possession of the illegal device on July 25, according to the ruling. The 46-year-old groom, who worked for trainer Dean Pederson, found the device in the stable area “and decided to keep it,” according to a complaint filed by California Horse Racing Board investigators on Aug. 30.
