[bc_video_id:316887:]HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Odds are trainer Todd Pletcher will be getting his picture taken following the conclusion of Saturday’s $200,000 Davona Dale Stakes at Gulfstream Park. But which 3-year-old filly will Pletcher be posing with in the winner’s circle after the Grade 2 stakes? Will it be the undefeated Onlyforyou or the multiple graded stakes winner Stopchargingmaria?

Winter-related track conditions caused Penn National Race Course to cancel Thursday night’s live racing program.
The track will remain open for simulcasting and will attempt to resume live racing Friday with first post time 6 p.m. Eastern.
Penn National has only been able to host one live racing card so far this month. After running on Feb. 1, the four live programs for the weeks of Feb. 5-8 and Feb. 12-15 were canceled due to a series of snow storms and below-freezing conditions.
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Two days after winning last year’s Kentucky Derby with Orb, trainer Shug McGaughey was pulling into the parking lot of the place where he gets his eyeglasses near his home on Long Island, N.Y., when the phone rang. It was his good friend, Hall of Fame football coach Bill Parcells.
“That’s just the bait,” Parcells, a two-time winner of the Super Bowl, told McGaughey.
McGaughey already knew it. Like the fish McGaughey likes to catch on his off days, he was hooked.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. – Racing in February in Nebraska can be dicey at times, but the forecast for Friday’s season opener at Fonner Park is rosy this year as the track launches its 61st season of racing.
Some snow was forecast for Thursday morning, but Friday’s forecast is for the mid 40s with sunny skies as the 31-day meet gets under way. The weather has cooperated for the trainers leading up the meet, with several days of work tabs numbering more than 80 head. Last year’s opening day was lost as a snowstorm hit the area.
ARCADIA, Calif. – Rafael Bejarano was in an awkward position after Monday’s program at Santa Anita. For the first time in 35 days of racing at the winter-spring meeting, Bejarano had gone two days without riding a winner.
“It was no good,” he said. “I thought I could win one or two, but I didn’t.”
The mini-slump, as it were, had little effect on the riders’ standings. Bejarano has been so dominant since the season began Dec. 26 that he ended Monday’s program with an 18-race lead in the standings with 48 victories. Joe Talamo is second with 30 wins.

STICKNEY, Ill. – The phrases “polar vortex” and “Thoroughbred racing” don’t mesh well, but it is into the midst of a historically brutal Chicago winter that Hawthorne’s 37-day winter-spring race meet begins Friday.
A morning-long ice and freezing rain storm in central Pennsylvania forced the cancellation of live racing at Penn National Race Course on Wednesday.

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. – The 3-year-old Mexikoma makes his return to the starting gate in an allowance race on Saturday’s Fountain of Youth card at Gulfstream Park. Last seen in November when he finished sixth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita, Mexikoma breezed a half-mile Tuesday morning at Palm Meadows in 49.05 seconds.
