Trainer Mike Puype reports from Southern California that Turbulent Descent, the solid favorite for the $1 million Filly and Mare Sprint, continues to thrive in her breezes. Puype planned to work the 3-year-old filly again Thursday at Hollywood Park and maintain a schedule of every six days before departing for Kentucky.

Meanwhile, another 3-year-old, Strike the Moon, is more likely to go in the Oct. 22 Raven Run at Keeneland instead of the Filly and Mare Sprint, trainer Michael Trombetta said. A Saturday work on the Keeneland Polytrack will determine her status.

Tizway, who missed the Jockey Club Gold Cup earlier this month after briefly spiking a temperature, continued to progress toward a start in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic by working a mile in 1:38.47 on the main track at Belmont Park on Wednesday morning.

Pacific Classic winner Acclamation, ranked among the leading American contenders for the upcoming Breeders’ Cup Turf, is through for the season, according to his principal owner and breeder, Buddy Johnston.

Currently stabled at Santa Anita with trainer Don Warren, the 5-year-old Acclamation displayed heat in a foot that has limited his recent activity, Johnston noted.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Majestic City, second to Dullahan in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity at Keeneland last Saturday, will be pointed to the BC Juvenile on Nov. 5 and will be considered for two other races that weekend at Churchill Downs, trainer Peter Miller said Monday.

The winner of two sprint stakes at Hollywood Park in the summer, Majestic City’s primary goal is the BC Juvenile, but Miller is not ruling a start in the BC Juvenile Turf or the BC Juvenile Sprint.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Secret Circle, the 2-year-old colt who scored an easy win in Monday’s minor Jack Goodman Stakes, left trainer Bob Baffert somewhat surprised by the result.

Ridden by Martin Garcia, Secret Circle ($3.20) stalked two pacesetters, circled those rivals and pulled away to win the six-furlong race by 5 1/4 lengths in the quick time of 1:08.27.

“I’m sort of half-shocked the way he ran,” Baffert said. “He didn’t show that in the morning. It’s amazing.”

ARCADIA, Calif. – California Flag’s record third career win in the Grade 3 Morvich Stakes at Santa Anita on Monday could lead to his fourth consecutive appearance in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5.

On Tuesday, trainer Brian Koriner stopped short of committing the 7-year-old California Flag to the BC Turf Sprint, wanting to see how the gelding reacts to the race in coming days.

“He’d had to show that he’s training great and throwing himself around,” Koriner said. “So far, everything has been good for him.”

MIAMI, Fla. – What a difference a few feet can make. That was the distance Musical Romance came from winning Saturday’s Grade 2 Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes at Keeneland and an automatic berth into the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint.

Musical Romance, who was officially beaten a head by Holiday for Kitten in the TCA, returned to Calder on Tuesday and is doing well, according to trainer Bill Kaplan, who owns Musical Romance, a daughter of Concorde’s Tune, in partnership with Pinnacle Racing Stable.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Michael Matz has an unbeaten 2-year-old colt for the Breeders’ Cup, so how about an unbeaten filly for it, too?

Matz got a tremendous thrill last weekend when Union Rags stamped himself as the likely favorite for the BC Juvenile by remaining undefeated with a romping victory in the Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park, and the widely admired trainer might be in a position for something similar Thursday at Keeneland, where he will send out Somali Lemonade as a major contender in the Grade 3, $150,000 Jessamine Stakes for 2-year-old fillies.

ARCADIA, Calif. - At 7, California Flag can still duel with the best turf sprinters at Santa Anita.

California Flag won the $100,000 Morvich Stakes for a record third time on Monday, ending a four-race losing streak dating back to the Green Flash Handicap at Del Mar in August 2010.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Secret Circle remained unbeaten after two starts, and earned a trip to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint at Churchill Downs next month, with an emphatic victory in Monday's $71,340 Jack Goodman Stakes at Santa Anita.

Ridden by Rafael Bejarano, Secret Circle stalked pacesetters Sweep Swap and A Toe by Three for the first half-mile, took the lead in early stretch and won by a comfortable 5 1/4 lengths. Secret Circle ran six furlongs in 1:08.27.
