HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Oaklawn Park announcer Matt Dinerman could be calling Beauty Reigns and Beautiful Twice quite often during the $125,000 featured eighth race Thursday.

The 4-year-olds are chief contenders in the six-furlong allowance for fillies and mares who have never won three races. A field of seven is set to start, including overnight stakes winner Miss Martini and the stakes-placed fillies Blue Squall and Quantum Burst.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Dry Powder, who began her career locally a year ago, will return to Gulfstream Park trying to jump start her 4-year-old campaign with a victory in Thursday’s $87,000 main event, an allowance with a $125,000 claiming option going a mile on the main track.

ARCADIA, Calif. – For the fifth time in his career, California jockey Juan Hernandez won at least three stakes on the same day, on Saturday at Santa Anita.

His latest hat trick was a mix of a short-priced favorite, a massive longshot, and a mid-priced contender who could start in the Kentucky Derby.

Book’em Danno, the champion sprinter of 2025, was not entered in Friday’s Boston Handicap at Colonial Downs, so his return to the races will come in either the Carter Stakes at Aqueduct or the Commonwealth at Keeneland.

Both stakes are run at seven furlongs on April 4. The Grade 3 Commonwealth, at $350,000, is worth $50,000 more than the Grade 2 Carter.

“Whichever is the easiest of the two,” trainer Derek Ryan said. “I’ll watch the weather and stuff like that. I’ve got a couple of New York-breds that I got to bring back [to New York].”

A runner-up in three of his last four starts going one mile, Mo for the King will shorten up to six furlongs as he tries to get the second win of his career in a starter allowance for New York-breds which poses as the feature on Thursday’s seven-race Aqueduct card.

Trainer Todd Pletcher and owner Mike Repole retired Grade 1 winners Fierceness and Mindframe following 2025, but their cupboard is not bare of talented older dirt males.

Disruptor won his first graded stakes Saturday when he beat heavily favored Disco Time in the Grade 3, $100,000 Challenger Stakes. His final time of 1:41.40 was just .20 off the track record and earned Disruptor a 102 Beyer Speed Figure.

Last month, Grande won a second-level allowance at Gulfstream Park, his third victory from four career starts and one in which he earned a 105 Beyer Speed Figure.

OLDSMAR, Fla. – Rugelach has run too good to lose in her first two starts for trainer and part-owner Sam Wilensky, but the 6-year-old mare finished second in both races.

On Wednesday, Rugelach looks well spotted to earn her first victory for Wilensky – and first since Sept. 24 – in a second-level allowance scheduled for one mile on the turf at Tampa Bay Downs. Turf racing should resume Wednesday after rain forced the last race on Saturday’s card and all of Sunday’s scheduled turf races to the dirt.

Since claiming Money Run for $40,000 in June 2024, trainer Peter Miller has gradually transformed the gelding from a middling sprinter to a seasoned route runner. The culmination of that process could come at Colonial Downs on Thursday, when the 6-year-old will stretch out to 1 3/8 miles in the $100,000 Golden Horseshoe Handicap.

“Even though he’s by Runhappy, who was a champion sprinter, he really seems to like going long,” Miller said. “We’re thinking the farther, the better. He’s a horse that pretty much needs the lead, but he’s very, very fast, so we’ll let him ramble.”
