Corrina Corrina can open the Sunland Park meet on Friday by making some New Mexico-bred history when she starts in the $90,000 New Mexico State Racing Commission Stakes.

A win in the race would make her the all-time leading Thoroughbred earner among New Mexico-breds. She enters the 5 1/2-furlong stakes just $39,565 shy of Rocky Gulch’s record earnings mark of $1,151,725. A first-place finish would be worth $54,000.

Sunland is racing 55 dates through April 6. Post time is 12:25 p.m. Mountain.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – With three solid races going a mile under his belt, Emirates Road will try his luck a little farther Friday at Aqueduct when he runs 1 1/8 miles in a first-level allowance/optional $45,000 claiming race at Aqueduct.

With only five horses, this $88,000 race – the richest on the card in terms of purse – goes as the first on an eight-race program that begins at 12:40 p.m.

New Orleans native and enthusiastic home chef Wayne Catalano headed from his morning at Fair Grounds back home Wednesday, eager to check on the chuck roast he’d seared and put in a pressure cooker before leaving for the track. His New Year’s Day check-in on Gun Runner Stakes winner Built revealed the same thing Catalano has seen since Built’s breakout score in his stakes debut Dec. 21 – a colt in robust health ready for more racing.

Thus, Catalano all but confirmed Built will make his fourth career start Jan. 18 in the Grade 3, $250,000 Lecomte.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Winter racing in Southern California is changing after the collapse of the Northern California circuit. Friday at Santa Anita, that is a good thing.

A pair of 10-runner fields – the meet’s biggest fields on dirt – include an eligibility tweak. Races 4 and 6, sprint and route, are $8,000 starter/optional $10,000 claiming races. The tweak is both races are “restricted to horses and horsemen based in Northern California since Jan. 1, 2024.”

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – The older mare My Friend Amy will have the younger generation in her corner Friday when trainer Jayde Gelner legs up apprentice Erik Asmussen in the featured ninth race at Oaklawn Park.

The second-level allowance for fillies and mares will be run over six furlongs and carries an optional claiming price of $62,500. Dealing Justice finished in front of most of the runners in the field of 10 last month, when she was second by a neck at a similar level at Oaklawn.
