One in Vermillion, winner of five stakes in four states including the Grade 1 H. Allen Jerkens Memorial at Saratoga last August in his final start, was euthanized Friday because of the effects of laminitis, according to owner Jonathan Kalman.

One in Vermillion, who was 4, sustained a fetlock injury in a workout at Zia Park in November that led to his retirement. In late December, One in Vermillion was being prepared for a trip to Kentucky for the Keeneland January sale when a horseshoer noticed that the colt was suffering from founder in his opposite foreleg.

Jeffrey Englehart, a trainer who primarily runs horses in New York and Pennsylvania, has been notified by the Horseracing Integrity and Wagering Unit of a positive test for clenbuterol in a horse he trained, in a case that features a number of unusual circumstances.

Retired trainer Donald Richardson, whose George Royal carried Hall of Fame jockey Johnny Longden to victory in the final mount of Longden’s career, passed away Jan. 22, according to published reports. Richardson was 89.

Richardson, born July 11, 1934, was a jockey and trainer in Western Canada and spent much of his career at Exhibition Park (renamed Hastings Park) in Vancouver, British Columbia. His final starter was in 2008, according to Equibase. Richardson also started horses in Southern California at Hollywood Park, Del Mar, and Santa Anita.

Owners who have 3-year-olds with trainer Bob Baffert that were nominated to the Triple Crown did not move those horses to other barns by Monday, meaning they will not be eligible to run in the Kentucky Derby on May 4.

Baffert is still under suspension by Churchill Downs Inc. for the post-race positive incurred by Medina Spirit who crossed the finish line first in the 2021 Kentucky Derby, but was disqualified after testing positive for a therapeutic substance that is not permitted to be in a horse’s system on race day.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Though it hasn’t been a great start to the year for trainer Chad Brown, the performances Saturday by Francesco Clemente and I’m Very Busy at Gulfstream Park give him optimism for the future in the older male turf division.

Francesco Clemente displayed a strong closing kick to win the Grade 3, $200,000 William L. McKnight by 2 1/4 lengths. Francesco Clemente, a 5-year-old son of Dubawi, earned a 97 Beyer Speed Figure for the performance, his first U.S. stakes win.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Recently elected Juvenile champion Fierceness will make his much-anticipated 3-year-old debut as expected Saturday at Gulfstream Park in the $250,000 Holy Bull Stakes. The Grade 3 Holy Bull drew a field of eight to go 1 1/16 miles and will be run as the final event on a 12-race program that includes four other stakes, all for 3-year-olds.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Before Friday’s program, trainer Brendan Galvin had never won a race at Santa Anita and had not had a face-to-face meeting with Richard Meyer, his client who races as Four Quarters Corp.

Dazzle the Command changed all of that with a win in his 13th career start in a maiden race on turf.

“That was the first time I met the owner,” Galvin said on Sunday morning. “It was a good day. It’s good to be here.”

ARCADIA, Calif. - The Grade 2 San Pasqual Stakes at Santa Anita on Saturday was designed as a prep for the Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap on March 2. Instead, it will have greater ramifications for the Dubai World Cup program in the United Arab Emirates on March 30.

Race winner Newgrange, who has won two stakes this winter at Santa Anita for trainer Phil D'Amato, is scheduled to make his next start in the $12 million Dubai World Cup, while third-place finisher Mixto will be considered for a race on the same program.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – The decision to delay Southwest Stakes Day a week after a winter storm impacted training at Oaklawn Park paid dividends at the entry box Sunday, when 12 horses were entered for Saturday’s Southwest on a 12-race card that drew a total of 139 horses.

“That’s a lot of horses,” Oaklawn racing secretary Pat Pope said.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla.  - Watching his Senor Buscador get within 2 1/2 lengths of the 5-2 favorite National Treasure at the eighth pole after having trailed by more than a dozen lengths in the run down the backstretch, trainer Todd Fincher admitted he was feeling pretty good about his chances of pulling off the upset in Saturday’s $3 million Pegasus World Cup Invitational.
