ARCADIA, Calif. – Schoolofhardrocks, considered one of the leading contenders in the Grade 1, $250,000 FrontRunner Stakes for 2-year-olds on Saturday at Santa Anita, was scratched from the race on Saturday morning because he was “a little off behind,” according to his trainer, David Hofmans.

“We scratched, to be cautious,” Hofmans said. “We’re going to do some diagnostic work on him in the next couple of days.”

Hofmans said that, at this point, he could not pinpoint with specificity what was ailing Schoolofhardrocks, hence the need for diagnostic work.

Newmarket Racecourse in England hosted three group stakes Saturday, and the race with Breeders’ Cup implications was not the one you’d expect.

Berkshire won the Royal Lodge Stakes, a Breeders’ Cup Challenge Win and You’re In race, but probably won’t start again until 2014. Sky Lantern, who traveled to Santa Anita for the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf last season, powerfully won the Sun Chariot Stakes, but her major late-season international goal is Hong Kong, not California.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Groupie Doll had her final workout for the Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes, breezing a half-mile in 48.20 seconds early Saturday over a fast main track at Churchill Downs. Regular exercise rider Jada Schlenk was aboard.

“I told Jada to let her work on a little today,” said trainer Buff Bradley. “The mare galloped out real strong and came back full of energy. That’ll sharpen her up. She’s ready.”

ARCADIA, Calif. – There was a sense this summer at Del Mar that the leading 2-year-old males were a solid, but not spectacular, bunch, a theory that seemingly was confirmed in the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity, which Tamarando, a horse yet to be nominated to the Breeders’ Cup, won with a moderate Beyer Speed Figure of 78 in a race where the first six finishers were separated by two lengths after seven furlongs.
