The $2 million Breeders’ Cup Distaff is still six weeks away, but the $1 million Cotillion Stakes at Parx – restricted to 3-year-old fillies – will be run on Saturday.

Whether the Cotillion will have any Breeders’ Cup influence remains to be seen. Neither of the country’s top 3-year-old fillies – Kentucky Oaks winner Princess of Sylmar and Oaks runner-up Beholder – will run in the Cotillion.

Princess of Sylmar will run Sept. 28 in the Grade 1 Beldame at Belmont Park, according to trainer Todd Pletcher. Her status for the BC Distaff is not confirmed.

There were two rich races for juvenile fillies on turf on Saturday, but the most important development of the day for the division came out of a race that ostensibly was for juvenile males.

Last weekend’s major preps for the Grade  1,  $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf were more about  who is not going to run in the one-mile race for 2-year-old males than who was elevated into the picture.

Saturday’s Grade 2, $200,000 Summer Stakes at Woodbine was a Win and You’re In race, but the winner, Myconquestadory, is a filly and isn’t eligible to the race. The Mark Casse-trained daughter of Artie Schiller was very impressive making her debut in the one-mile race and will be pointed to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies instead.

Dance to Bristol had her final work for the Grade 2 Gallant Bloom over the weekend when breezing five furlongs in 1:00.60 at the Bowie training center in Maryland.

Dance to Bristol will be putting her seven-race winning streak on the line when shipping to Belmont Park to run Saturday in the 6 1/2-furlong Gallant Bloom, which trainer Ollie Figgins is using as a final prep for the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita. The 4-year-old filly has not lost since she was second in the What a Summer Stakes at Laurel Park in January.

Trainer David Fawkes already has won the Breeders’ Cup Sprint once, in 2010 with Big Drama, and he’s getting excited about his prospects of repeating that feat this fall with Bahamian Squall.

Concave will train up to the Grade 1, $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita on Nov. 2, according to trainer Doug O’Neill. The winner of last month’s Grade 2 Sorrento at Del Mar, she was a closing third in the track’s Grade 1 Debutante in her most recent start Aug. 31.

“She’ll go right to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies,” O’Neill said. “We’re going to go into it fresh and ready to roll. She’s had a good campaign in a short period of time, and we thought we’d put her away and save her energy for the big one.”

Wise Dan left no doubt in Sunday’s Woodbine Mile that he will be an absolute tiger when he makes a bid to win his second straight Breeders’ Cup Mile at Santa Anita on Nov. 2. The only question now is whether he will train up to the race or make one more pre-BC start in the Shadwell Turf Mile on Oct. 5 at Keeneland.

Shanghai Bobby, who cemented an Eclipse Award by winning last year’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, could return to Santa Anita in either the Dirt Mile or the Sprint, depending on how he runs in Friday’s $100,000 Aljamin overnight stakes at Belmont Park.

After sweeping his five starts as a 2-year-old for Todd Pletcher, including the Hopeful and Champagne, Shanghai Bobby has raced only twice in 2013, suffering his first defeat when second in the Holy Bull and finishing fifth in the Florida Derby.

With three straight wins, including open-length victories in a pair of Stallion Stakes races at Calder, My Brown Eyed Guy has proven to be the dominant 2-year-old male in south Florida this summer.

His connections may try to see if he’s more than that.

Trainer Kathleen O’Connell said she and owner/breeder Gilbert Campbell are considering the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita on Nov. 2 for their gelding by With Distinction, a decision that will be based on how he fares in the $300,000 In Reality division of the Florida Stallion Stakes at Calder on Oct. 12.

Five trophies, including the 1903 Belmont Stakes trophy awarded to Africander, were stolen late Thursday night from the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., in a “smash-and-grab” burglary, the museum said Friday.
