Los Alamitos will run three stakes during its three-week summer meeting, which runs from June 27 to July 14, highlighted by the Grade 2 Great Lady M. Stakes for fillies and mares at 6 1/2 furlongs.

The $200,000 Great Lady M. will be run on July 6, the middle Saturday of the meeting. The $100,000 Bertrando Stakes for California-bred milers will be run on June 29, while the Grade 3 Los Alamitos Derby will be run at 1 1/8 miles on July 13.

The $150,000 Los Alamitos Derby was worth $200,000 last year and was a Grade 2, but was downgraded for this year’s running.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The $75,000 Santana Mile for 4-year-olds and up was scheduled for Sunday at Santa Anita, but drew only two entries and has been canceled, racing officials said.

The Santana Mile had 20 nominations. Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said earlier this month he hoped to start Blackjackcat, the third-place finisher in the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Mile who recently joined his stable. Blackjackcat was sixth in the Grade 3 Thunder Road Stakes on turf on Feb. 9.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Hidden Scroll isn’t the only 3-year-old who finished fourth in a major Kentucky Derby prep after setting a very fast and contested pace.

So, too, did Zenden, who posted splits of 22.79 seconds, 45.85, and 1:09.57 while pressed by Well Defined for the opening six furlongs of the Tampa Bay Derby. He led until midstretch but gradually weakened while making his first start beyond seven furlongs.

Mind Control, a multiple stakes winner around one turn, will make his next start at Aqueduct in the Grade 3, $250,000 Bay Shore Stakes at seven furlongs and not the Grade 2, $750,000 Wood Memorial at nine furlongs, trainer Gregg Sacco said Friday.

That decision effectively removes Mind Control from consideration for the Kentucky Derby. Mind Control has 30 qualifying points for the Derby, which as of Friday put him 11th in the standings under the system used by Churchill Downs to determine the 20 horses for the Kentucky Derby.

ARCADIA, Calif. – A new rule approved by the California Horse Racing Board on Thursday that will severely restrict whip use by jockeys may be months from being implemented, but was met with starkly mixed reactions on Friday from a small group of riders.

Some oppose the plan, while others realize there is little they can do to change the racing board’s direction.

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. – Global Campaign, who came out of a fifth-place finish in the Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream with a foot injury, has resumed galloping and soon will be relocated to Churchill Downs, trainer Stan Hough said Friday.

Global Campaign tore off part of his hoof in the Fountain of Youth. He has been equipped with a special shoe that has “a plate that takes the pressure off his quarter where he took it off,” Hough said.

Hough said he didn’t have a race picked out for Global Campaign, who won his first two starts impressively.

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. – Sistercharlie, North America’s female turf champion of 2018, will not make her seasonal debut in the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley at Keeneland on April 13 as expected, owing to a temperature, trainer Chad Brown said Friday.

“She spiked a fever on us, so she’s going to miss the Jenny Wiley, but she’ll be fine,” Brown said. “We’ll just regroup with her. Where she’ll start her season, I’m not sure yet, but she’s recovering very well.”

ARCADIA, Calif. – The California Horse Racing Board voted on Thursday to ban jockeys from using whips to urge their mounts, the first stage of a process that will take several months and fundamentally change the way races are ridden.

The rule will limit riders to using whips “when necessary to control the horse for the safety of the horse or rider.” The current rule allowing jockeys to use the whip three times in succession before pausing to give a horse a chance to respond will be eliminated.

Hawthorne has canceled its Friday racing program in anticipation of heavy rain, according to a track news release.

Hawthorne also has called off training Friday morning, saying 1 1/2 inches of rain were forecast for the area starting Thursday night.

The release said racing was expected to resume Saturday.

Hawthorne is experiencing an acute horse shortage. After four racing days of the spring meeting, average field size on eight-race cards stood at just 5.78 runners.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Dunbar Road, a most impressive debut winner here on March 3, was supplemented to Saturday’s Grade 2, $250,000 Gulfstream Park Oaks, and if she runs, she could be favored in the 1 1/16-mile stakes for 3-year-old fillies.

The Gulfstream Oaks is one of six undercard stakes on the 14-race Florida Derby card.
