Though she didn’t change leads properly, St. Benedicts Prep was drawing away from her competition when scoring a 10 1/2-length victory in a starter-allowance race on May 24 at Aqueduct.

Though she is technically stepping up in class in a first-level allowance that serves as the feature on Sunday’s nine-race Aqueduct card, St. Benedicts Prep does face several runners trying to turn around their form.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Though there are plenty of stakes options for 3-year-olds in the coming weeks, trainer Todd Pletcher is focused on the biggest prize – the Grade 1, $1 million Haskell Invitational on July 20 at Monmouth Park – for his trio of Mindfame, Fierceness, and Tuscan Sky.

After putting all three through workouts Friday morning in Saratoga, Pletcher sees no reason to alter those plans three weeks out from that race.

A state-mandated force out of the Rainbow 6 pool is the highlight of Sunday’s nine-race program at Gulfstream Park that also features a $48,000 allowance and optional-claiming dash for Florida-breds to be decided at 5 1/2 furlongs over the Tapeta course.

The popular Rainbow 6 wager created quite a stir here last Saturday when a mandatory payout of a pool that had grown over 24 programs to $520,101 resulted in a final jackpot of just less than $4 million and ultimately a winning 20-cent payout of $18,453 to those fortunate enough to solve the tricky sequence.

For its 123rd running on Sunday at Churchill Downs, the $225,000 Bashford Manor Stakes has drawn a field of 13 2-year-olds, all making their stakes debuts in the six-furlong race. Six members of the field are Churchill maiden winners. Of the others, just one is a maiden winner in California. One might be all a noteworthy West Coast contingent needs.

There could be an outbreak of Caitlin Fever at Los Alamitos late Sunday afternoon.

A 2-year-old filly named in honor of the popular basketball star Caitlin Clark, Caitlin Fever will make her debut in a maiden race at five furlongs, the last of eight races.

Owned by Wire to Wire Stables, Gary Barber, and Jeff Fink, Caitlin Fever has had a steady pattern of works at the San Luis Rey Downs training center since mid-May for trainer Peter Miller.
