ARCADIA, Calif. – Comma to the Top, who has emerged as the leading 3-year-old in California in the last two months, is likely to make his next start in the $200,000 El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Fields on Feb. 12.

Trainer Peter Miller said Thursday that the El Camino Real Derby over 1 1/8 miles on Golden Gate’s synthetic Tapeta Footings surface is preferred to the $250,000 Robert Lewis Stakes over 1 1/8 miles on a dirt track at Santa Anita the same day.

“At this point, we’re leaning toward Golden Gate,” Miller said. “We know he likes that track.”

ARCADIA, Calif. − Comma to the Top, the top 3-year-old in California, will make his 2011 debut Feb. 12 in a stakes at Santa Anita or Golden Gate Fields.

Trainer Peter Miller said Wednesday that the $250,000 Robert Lewis Stakes over 1 1/8 miles at Santa Anita or the $200,000 El Camino Real Derby over 1 1/8 miles at Golden Gate Fields will be Comma to the Top’s next start.

The decision will be based on how Comma to the Top works later this month on Santa Anita’s newly installed sand-and-clay track, Miller said. The El Camino Real is run over a Tapeta synthetic surface.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The Sunday program at Hollywood Park was canceled following the second race after jockeys deemed the course unsafe because of persistent rain through the day.

Jockey Mike Smith, who was among a group of riders who inspected the course after the second race, said there was an area on the backstretch, where the chute joined the main track at the six-furlong pole, concerned the riders.

“Coming out of the chute, it was just too deep,” Smith said.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Well, that was worth the wait.

Comma to the Top, who delayed the start of the CashCall Futurity because of a protracted shoe repair, won the Grade 1, $750,000 race on Saturday at Hollywood Park to record his fifth straight victory and move to the top of the West Coast’s 2-year-old division.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Two months ago, Comma to the Top was believed to be best as a sprinter. It was the right assessment at the time, but it needed revision. Comma to the Top has developed into a successful router and taken an important role in major two-turn races at the end of his 2-year-old season.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Comma to the Top is proving to be a throwback. His victory in the Generous Stakes on Saturday was his fourth straight, and came in his turf debut. It was his ninth start of the year, and he’s not done yet. His trainer, Peter Miller, said Comma to the Top will make his 10th start of 2010 on Dec. 18 in the Grade 1, $750,000 Cash Call Futurity. It’s quite an unusual schedule for most horses of this era, particularly a 2-year-old.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The vastly improved Comma to the Top won his fourth straight race, and first in graded company, leading from start to finish in the Grade 3, $100,000 Generous Stakes for 2-year-olds on the turf on Saturday at Hollywood Park.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The former maiden claimer Comma to the Top won his first stakes in Saturday’s $100,000 Real Quiet Stakes at Hollywood Park, the gelding’s first start beyond seven furlongs.

Ridden aggressively by jockey Corey Nakatani, Comma to the Top ($10.20) led throughout the Real Quiet over 1 1/16 miles, setting a quick early pace and drawing off to win by 6 1/4 lengths in 1:43.56.
