Three weeks ago, jockey agent John Salamone was looking for a rider for the Monmouth Park meet. Jomar Torres, whose business in Maryland had slowed, was thinking how he could get rolling again.

When trainer Jeremiah O’Dwyer came to Laurel Park in the spring of 2017 he had three horses. Today he has 19, and when Silverbulletday winner Needs Supervision rejoins his barn later this month she’ll make an even 20.

O’Dwyer, a 37-year-old native of Tipperary, Ireland, is on an 8-for-17 run. On May 1, he won the $125,000 Kentucky Juvenile at Churchill Downs with Rookie Salsa and the next day sent out the Maryland-bred 2-year-old filly Punk Rock Princess to win a maiden race at Laurel. Jockey Angel Suarez was aboard for both wins.

It was a good weekend for Brown’s long-distance male turf runners. Brown won the Grade 1 Old Forester Turf Classic with Bricks and Mortar and the Grade 3 Fort Marcy at Belmont with longshot Olympico.

Those two horses as well as Turf Classic fourth-place finisher Raging Bull and Fort Marcy fifth-place finisher Robert Bruce are all being pointed to the Grade 1, $1 million Manhattan on the Belmont Stakes undercard.

Bricks and Mortars is now 3 for 3 this year.

Newspaperofrecord, who suffered her first defeat when second to Concrete Rose in the Edgewood Stakes at Churchill Downs on May 2, will likely make her next start in the Grade 3, $200,000 Wonder Again Stakes at Belmont on June 6, trainer Chad Brown said Tuesday.

In her first start since winning the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf, Newspaperofrecord appeared to be cruising on the front end in the Edgewood. But she weakened in the stretch and gave no resistance to Concrete Rose who galloped past Newspaperofrecord to win by 3 3/4 lengths.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Sistercharlie, the reigning female turf champion, put in her first workout in nearly two months on Tuesday, breezing a half-mile in 48.92 seconds over Belmont Park’s main track.

Unable to get on the turf course over the weekend due to rain, trainer Chad Brown elected to put Sistercharlie on the dirt Tuesday. She worked in company with the Group 1-placed filly Homerique, the pair going an opening quarter in 23.98 seconds and the second quarter in 24.94.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – The promising California-based ridgling One Bad Boy is one of four 3-year-olds who were supplemented to the $1 million Queen’s Plate on May 1 at a cost of $5,000.

Owned by Sayjay Racing and trained by Richard Baltas, One Bad Boy was a distant second to the future Arkansas Derby winner Omaha Beach at Santa Anita on Feb. 2. In his third and most recent race there April 6, he romped on the front end in a one-mile maiden special, earning an 85 Beyer Speed Figure in his turf debut.

Philip Teinowitz, who campaigned Grade 1 winners Cryptoclearance and Strategic Maneuver, has died at age 92.

Teinowitz, a Chicago businessman and real estate developer who was involved in the development of the Sears Tower, died Sunday at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, according to the Chicago Sun Times.

Teinowitz's most successful runner was Cryptoclearance, who he purchased for $190,000 at the 1985 Keeneland September yearling sale. The horse went on to earn more than $3.3 million.

Jose Ortiz will ride Anothertwistafate in the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the Triple Crown, on May 18 at Pimlico, trainer Blaine Wright said Tuesday.

Anothertwistafate most recently finished second in the Lexington Stakes on April 13 at Keeneland behind Owendale, who also is bound for the Preakness. Javier Castellano rode him that day for the first time, replacing his initial rider, Juan Hernandez, who was aboard Anothertwistafate when he finished second to Cutting Humor in the Sunland Park Derby and when he won the El Camino Real Derby.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Javier Castellano, Florent Geroux, Irad Ortiz Jr., Jose Ortiz, and Ricardo Santana Jr. are the finalists for the 2019 Mike Venezia Memorial Award, the New York Racing Association announced Monday.

The Venezia Award is given to a jockey who displays extraordinary sportsmanship and citizenship. The award is named after Venezia, who died as the result of injuries suffered in a spill here in 1988.

The award is determined by fans, who can vote online at NYRA.com/Venezia.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Hawkish, a narrow winner over Projected in Saturday’s Cliff Hanger Stakes at Monmouth Park, will be pointed to the Grade 3, $300,000 Poker Stakes at Belmont on June 16, trainer Jimmy Toner said Monday.

Hawkish won the Cliff Hanger after finishing second in the Appleton Stakes at Gulfstream Park to begin his campaign.

“He got tied up in traffic, he was in tight all the way,” Toner said. “It opened up a bit when they straightened away for home. He was able to split horses and get up. It was a good first effort and he came back and got the job done Saturday.”
