Heavenhasmynikki, who ran a big third in the Grade 3, $300,000 Houston Ladies Classic at Sam Houston, is set to run next in the Grade 1, $400,000 Beholder Mile on March 16 at Santa Anita, owner Ron Paolucci said Monday.

Heavenhasmynikki set a contested pace in the Houston Ladies Classic at 1 1/16 miles on Jan. 27 and was beaten a length by multiple Grade 1 winner Midnight Bisou. She earned career-high Beyer Speed Figure of 89. One start prior, Heavenhasmynikki was fifth in the Grade 1 La Brea, a seven-furlong sprint at Santa Anita.

The young trainer Rodolphe Brisset runs a satellite string at Fair Grounds while keeping the bulk of his stock at Payson Park in South Florida this winter, and Brisset has noteworthy invaders for the multi-stakes card Feb. 16 in New Orleans.

It’s been raining runner-up finishes in the Al Stall barn for the better part of three months. Since Nov. 10, Stall’s 79 starters have compiled a crazy record of 8 wins compared to 23 second-place finishes. Bobby’s Wicked One was having none of that trend Saturday at Fair Grounds. Dropping hard in class from a solid fifth-place finish in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita into a mere first-level six-furlong allowance race, Bobby’s Wicked One cruised to a seven-length score despite Miguel Mena keeping him under a hammerlock through the stretch run.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Vino Rosso, idle since his fifth-place finish in the 2018 Travers, worked four furlongs in 49.40 Sunday at Palm Beach Downs. The work was the fourth on the comeback trail for Vino Rosso, who competed in two of the three legs of last year’s Triple Crown following his victory last spring at Aqueduct in the Grade 2 Wood Memorial.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Jorge Navarro reported Sunday that Aztec Sense, who was vanned off following his 1 3/4-length triumph in the Grade 3 Fred Hooper here on Jan. 26, should be able to race again. Aztec Sense not only recorded his ninth consecutive and most important victory in the Fred Hooper, he also gave Navarro the 1,000th win of his training career.

“He came out with a chip in his sesamoid – we removed it,” Navarro said. “He’s in Ocala, he’ll be out for 60 days, and hopefully if all goes well he’ll be back again.”

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – In a perfect world, Global Campaign would have run here last Saturday in the Grade 3 Swale off his super-impressive debut win earlier in the meet. But Stanley Hough has been training horses long enough to know there is no such thing as a perfect world in this business, which is why he’ll be going to Plan B for the promising son of Curlin’s next start.

Global Campaign launched his career with a 5 3/4-length victory going seven furlongs here on Jan. 5, earning an 85 Beyer Speed Figure while being geared down by jockey Luis Saez in late stretch.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Always Shopping on Sunday at Aqueduct gave trainer Todd Pletcher his fifth victory in the Busanda Stakes, all since 2011. That list of winners includes Princess of Sylmar, who used her victory in the 2013 Busanda as a springboard to four Grade 1 victories that year, including the Kentucky Oaks.

Always Shopping has a way to go before she can be considered in the class of Princess of Sylmar, but Pletcher and owner-breeder Mike Repole were encouraged by what they saw Sunday.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Stone Breaker, a 6 1/4-length winner for maiden $50,000 claiming on Jan. 1, is entered in a New York-bred first-level allowance race Thursday at Aqueduct.

Horseplayers will notice that his Beyer Speed Figure from his maiden win has been adjusted to an 82 from what was originally a 90.

Andy Beyer, the creator of the Beyer Speed Figures, said he was always skeptical of the 90 that was assigned by New York figure-maker Mark Hopkins.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Older fillies and mares will take their turn Thursday at Gulfstream Park in back-to-back allowances that anchor a 10-race card.

Both races are $51,000 first-level allowances, with race 8 set for 1 1/8 miles on the turf and race 9 going as a one-turn mile on the main track. Luis Saez, who led the jockey standings at this four-month championship meet with 77 winners through last week, is named to ride the morning-line favorite in both co-features, So Charming and Treasure in Heaven.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Armando De La Cerda suspected Who’s in Charge might be a good horse, considering the unstarted colt was competitive in morning works at Gulfstream West with the De La Cerda stable stars Jay’s Way and Kory.

But Who’s in Charge was matched against 3-year-old maidens from highly regarded barns in his debut last Saturday.

“I looked at the Racing Form and said, oh, too tough,” De La Cerda said. “I’ve only had the horse since late November and thought maybe I needed more time with him.”
