Two also-rans in the Nov. 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile have been made the morning-line co-favorites among the individual entries for the second Kentucky Derby Future Wager pool, according to a list distributed by Churchill Downs, the administrator of the pool, on Monday night.

Chancer McPatrick and East Avenue, sixth and ninth in the Juvenile behind gate-to-wire winner Citizen Bull, were posted at 10-1 on the morning line for the pool, which opens Thursday and closes Sunday night. Citizen Bull was one of three horses among the 38 individual entries listed at 20-1.

Kenny McPeek, trainer of 2024 Horse of the Year candidate Thorpedo Anna and Kentucky Derby winner Mystic Dan, will receive this year’s Big Sport of Turfdom Award, the award’s presenter, the Turf Publicists of America, announced Monday.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Ag Bullet was listed as Hip No. 216 for the Fasig-Tipton November Sale in Kentucky on Nov. 4, two days after she finished third by a neck in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar.

Ag Bullet never left California.

“We didn’t want to sell her,” trainer Richard Baltas said.

Instead, Ag Bullet will start in her third consecutive Grade 1 race in the $300,000 Matriarch Stakes for fillies and mares at a mile on turf at Del Mar on Sunday, the final day of the track’s current autumn meeting.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Between the Saturday stakes winner Skinner, and the soon-to-return stakes winner Express Train, owners Lee and Susan Searing and trainer John Shirreffs have two prominent runners for the major races of the winter for older horses at Santa Anita.

More than likely, the two will be on similar career paths toward the Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap on March 1.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - If Michelle Nevin can keep him on the track, the regally bred Full Moon Madness could be a sprinter to reckon with this winter at Aqueduct.

On Sunday, in his first start off an 11-month layoff, Full Moon Madness won a second-level allowance race by a head over the stakes winner Surveillance. Full Moon Madness, by Into Mischief out of the Grade 1-winning mare By the Moon, was making his first start since he won a first-level allowance race here on New Year’s Day.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - The field for Friday’s $150,000 Fall Highweight Stakes ballooned to nine after a couple of horses who were entered in a since-canceled Laurel stakes race showed up in the entry box.

Dean Delivers and Witty were both entered in the Fall Highweight after Laurel canceled its weekend cards - including Saturday’s $100,000 Dave’s Friend - after complaints arose over Laurel’s main track. Additionally, Laurel officials made the decision not to bring the Dave’s Friend back at a later date.

Dylan Davis, looking to capitalize on his career-best performance in 2024, will move his tack to Gulfstream Park beginning Jan. 1, he and his agent said Sunday.

Davis said trainer Mark Casse initially brought up the idea of Davis going to Florida to ride the winter meet at Gulfstream and, after discussing it with his agent, Mike Migliore, Davis said the decision was made to do it.

Johannes, a game second to More Than Looks in the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Del Mar on Nov. 2 in his only loss this year, is scheduled to have his first start of 2025 in the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup Turf at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 25.

Trainer Tim Yakteen said on Wednesday that it was unclear whether Johannes would have a prep race in the interim, with the Grade 2 San Gabriel Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on turf at Santa Anita on Dec. 26 as a possibility.

“That would be the logical spot if we did run,” Yakteen said of the San Gabriel.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Trainer Wesley Ward won the Grade 1 Test in 2022 with Chi Town Lady - coincidentally, that mare is entered in an allowance race at Aqueduct on Friday. In Shoot It True, Ward hopes he’ll have an opportunity to win the Test again in 2025.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - The Grade 1 winner Book’em Danno is back in New York and will aim for the Grade 2, $500,000 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct, a race that could serve as an audition for the $20 million Saudi Cup in Riyadh in February 2025.
