Horses representing a variety of statebred programs will face off Tuesday in a redrawn edition of the $50,000 Highland Ice Sakes at Will Rogers Downs. The race was canceled last week due to an issue with a small area of the track surface. The Highland Ice again drew six runners, led by the accomplished New York-bred sprinter Ernie Banker.

Ernie Banker is a 12-time winner who has earned more than $300,000. But there’s one thing missing from his résumé – a stakes win – and he figures to go favored when he attempts to nail one down in the Highland Ice.

A little more than a decade in, Top Line Sales has found its place among the top ranks of the 2-year-old in training consignors.

Jimbo and Torie Gladwell’s operation, which sold juveniles for the first time in 2012, counts a number of seven-figure horses among its graduates. Those include an Uncle Mo colt who topped the 2022 Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co.’s spring sale at $2.3 million, the sale-topping price and finishing as the second-most paid for a 2-year-old in North America last year. Now named Arabian Knight, the colt is an unbeaten graded stakes winner.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The complexion of Santa Anita weekend sprint stakes gained clarity from the decision to switch front-runner Sunrise Journey to turf for the $100,000 Siren Lure Stakes on Sunday, rather than keep him on dirt for the Grade 3 Kona Gold Stakes on Saturday.

Sunrise Journey’s pending scratch from the Kona Gold softens the pace scenario for heavily favored Brickyard Ride, who is expected to lead the Saturday dirt stakes gate to wire. Sunrise Journey will try to do the same Sunday on turf.

Twisted Ride seeks his fourth consecutive victory when he tackles a strong field of sprinters in the Page McKenney Handicap on Monday at Parx Racing.

The Page McKenney is one of two $100,000 stakes for Pennsylvania-breds at seven furlongs on the card, along with the Unique Bella for fillies and mares.

The Thoroughbred racing circuit in Ohio moves to Thistledown and Belterra Park as both open their meets this week.

Thistledown, in North Randall, begins its 100-day meet Monday and will run through Oct. 12. Belterra’s 93-day meet in Cincinnati opens Thursday and continues through Oct. 7.

Familiar annual stakes with six-figure purses and a new distance claiming series will highlight the 2023 season at Finger Lakes Racetrack, which opens Monday.

The 90-day season at Finger Lakes, in Farmington, N.Y., runs through Nov. 22. The schedule sports 14 stakes, with summer showcases for New York-bred sophomores in the $150,000 New York Derby on July 17 and the $75,000 New York Oaks on July 24.

Oklahoma’s top female sprinter Ragan’s Jet is part of the redrawn field for the $50,000 Wilma Mankiller on Monday at Will Rogers Downs. She will attempt to win her fifth straight race when she moves into open company for the stakes, which was canceled last week due to work being done on a small area of the racing surface in Claremore, Okla.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Jockey Isaac Castillo has had a breakout meet at Oaklawn Park and he will look to continue his run Sunday, when he rides a number of contenders on the card led by Mrs. Beans.

Mrs. Beans goes in the featured eighth race, a $32,000 starter allowance for 4-year-olds and up over six furlongs. The field of nine includes eight-time winner Jackman and nine-time winner Seven Nation Army.

Castillo has been aboard Mrs. Beans all meet long as the stable rider for the horse’s owner, Danny Caldwell, and trainer, Martin Villafranco.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Perennial leading trainer Mark Casse seems loaded for bear in the two conditioned allowance/optional claimers on Sunday’s eight-race all-Tapeta card at Woodbine.

Casse, who recently won his 15th Sovereign Award for outstanding trainer, sends out Ready for a Fight and Ghostliner in the sixth race over 5 1/2 furlongs.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Time for Trouble posted a $37.50 upset of the featured eighth race Thursday at Keeneland, but the victory will come at a cost for his jockey, Joe Talamo, who struck the Irish-bred with his whip eight times, two over the limit imposed by new crop rules mandated by the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority.

Talamo will forfeit 10 percent of his share of the purse, or $7,347, and will have to sit out one day of racing, which the 33-year-old rider said will be one of the last three cards of the Keeneland spring meet this coming week.
