Midtown went 2 for 2 as a 2-year-old while racing seven furlongs on racecourses with plenty of cut in the ground. Sunday at Deauville, he makes his first start at age 3 racing seven furlongs over a racecourse with plenty of cut in the ground.

A pair of Class 1 handicaps and a third start from the exciting 3-year-old Blaze Warrior highlight Sunday’s final Sha Tin race card of the 2020-21 Hong Kong season.
The 11-race program starts earlier than usual, 12:30 a.m. Eastern on Saturday night. You can catch all the action at DRFBets.com.
The Class 1s, both for horses rated 115-90, are races 8 and 10, the earlier heat carded for 1,600 meters, race 10 over 1,200 meters.
Eight days later than scheduled, the undefeated Australian filly Palaisipan will have her stakes debut in the Group 3 Winx Stakes at Sunshine Coast Racecourse on Sunday.
The one-mile Winx Stakes was scheduled for July 3, but the program was postponed because of wet conditions.
The lineup for the Winx Stakes has changed slightly since entries were initially taken earlier this month. Palaisipan rates as a leading contender along with the filly Dzsenifer. Tamilaide was the favorite on July 3, but won the Grafton Guineas on Wednesday and is not part of Sunday’s Winx field.
Mother Earth returns to the scene of her English 1000 Guineas win Friday when she starts in the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes.
The Falmouth, a straight-course mile, marks the first fairly important sex-restricted race in England where 3-year-olds tackle their elders, and eight members of the sophomore set face five older horses, the older fillies and mares giving nine pounds to their younger rivals.

Top Australian jockey Jamie Kah can make history at Sandown Racecourse in Melbourne on Wednesday.
Through Saturday, Kah had won 99 races this season at Melbourne city tracks such as Caulfield, Flemington, Moonee Valley and Sandow.
Kah is one winner behind Brett Prebble, who holds the record of 99.5 wins set in the 1999-2000 season at Melbourne city tracks. In Australia, a dead heat counts as half of a win.
A trio of Class 3 handicaps bring to a close the third-to-last race card of the 2020-21 Hong Kong season, and race 9, the finale, looks the most interesting of them.
All three contests are for horses rated 80-60, races 7 and 8 carded for 1,200 meters, race 9 at 1,650 meters, one circuit around the Happy Valley course. First post for the program is 6:45 a.m. Eastern with live video and wagering at DRFBets.com.
