The last two preps for the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint are set for this weekend, with the Grade 2 Thoroughbred Club of America on Saturday at Keeneland and the Grade 3 L.A. Woman on Sunday at Santa Anita.

Stonetastic could be favored in a competitive field in the six-furlong TCA, which offers a Win and You’re In berth in the seven-furlong Filly and Mare Sprint. The speedy 5-year-old mare will be returning from a 10-week layoff after earning a 104 Beyer Speed Figure in winning an ungraded stakes at her home base, Monmouth Park, in late July.

The top four finishers from the Grade 1 Chandelier Stakes last Saturday at Santa Anita are under consideration for the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies on Nov. 5.

Noted and Quoted and With Honors battled from start to finish in the Chandelier, with Noted and Quoted prevailing by a half-length. The victory signaled a return to form for Noted and Quoted, who seemed flat when finishing fourth in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante. She had won a Del Mar maiden race by 9 1/2 lengths prior to the Debutante.

Spain Burg gained attention around Europe when she won three of her first four starts, all at small tracks in southwest France from April to August.

When Spain Burg won her English debut in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket on Sept. 23, a wider audience took notice – and her value soared. Last Saturday, Spain Burg was purchased by Dean Reeves of Suwanee, Ga., for approximately $1.68 million at the Arqana Arc sale in France.

Connect, winner of the Grade 2, $1.25 million Pennsylvania Derby at Parx on Sept. 24, will likely make his next start in the Grade 1, $500,000 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct on Nov. 26, trainer Chad Brown said.

Brown said the Breeders' Cup Classic is not a race he and owner Paul Pompa Jr. are focused on. Brown said the BC Dirt Mile is a possibility as is the Grade 1 Clark at Churchill Downs on Nov. 25, but the Cigar Mile appears to be Brown's preference.

Postponed, the beaten favorite in Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Chantilly Racecourse in France, is doubtful to start in the Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita on Nov. 5, trainer Roger Varian said on Tuesday.

In a brief telephone conversation, Varian said Postponed has run for the final time this year. In the Arc, Postponed finished fifth as the 15-8 favorite, beaten 6 1/2 lengths by the winner, Found.

:: Breeders’ Cup Challenge: Results, replays, charts, and more

MIAMI – Trainer Jose Pinchin said Monday that his undefeated and unchallenged 2-year-old Three Rules is definitely Breeders’ Cup bound following his easy 10-length victory in Saturday’s In Reality Stakes.

Three Rules completed his sweep of the Florida Sire Stakes series and remained perfect in five starts. He earned an 87 Beyer Speed Figure despite being geared down to the wire by jockey Cornelio Velasquez. The 1 1/16-mile In Reality was his two-turn debut.

CYPRESS, Calif. – The ways in which California Chrome has improved from ages 3 to 5 are numerous, but overcoming his apprehension at racing inside horses may be the biggest reason for his perfect record this year, for California Chrome in three of his 2016 races has overcome an inside draw and easily prevailed.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – What happened in Southern California over the weekend probably was the biggest factor in trainer Mark Casse deciding to run Tepin against her own sex when Keeneland opens this weekend.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Runhappy remains on target for the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile following a disappointing fourth-place finish for the 2015 sprint champion in the Grade 3 Ack Ack on Saturday at Churchill Downs.

Trainer Laura Wohlers said Monday from her Lexington, Ky., base that Runhappy exited the race in good fashion. The colt was making his 4-year-old debut after being away from the races since a victory in the Grade 1 Malibu at Santa Anita last Dec. 26.

Red Falx won his third consecutive race, and first in a Grade 1, in Sunday’s $1,890,292 Sprinters’ Stakes at Nakayama Racecourse in Japan.

The Sprinters’ Stakes is part of the Breeders’ Cup Win and You’re In program, offering a fees paid berth for the winner to the BC Turf Sprint at Santa Anita on Nov. 5. There is no immediate indication that Red Falx will be sent to California.
