Both Street Band, who won the Fair Grounds Oaks on Saturday, and Serengeti Empress, the 1-5 favorite who finished last after suffering from exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (commonly just called ‘bleeding’), were reported in good condition Sunday morning.

Street Band got a career-best 85 Beyer Speed Figure for running 1 1/16 miles in 1:44.54, turning in what obviously was a career-best performance. Her victory was the most important career win for jockey Sophie Doyle, and it gave trainer Larry Jones – who co-owns Street Band, as well – his fourth Fair Grounds Oaks score.

Instagrand, third in the Grade 3 Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct on March 9 in his 3-year-old debut, worked five furlongs in 59.40 seconds at Los Alamitos on Sunday for an expected start in early April.

Trained by Jerry Hollendorfer, Instagrand had the fastest of 14 works at the distance. Last year, Instagrand was unbeaten in two starts, including an easy win by 10 1/4 lengths in the Grade 2 Best Pal Stakes at six furlongs at Del Mar in August.

Hollendorfer said no plans have been finalized for Instagrand’s next race, expected in early April.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Over the weekend, jockey Flavien Prat was nearly everywhere Thoroughbreds race and train in California at this time of year.

Prat was winless Saturday with two mounts at Golden Gate Fields, his first rides since he was in action at Oaklawn Park on March 16. On Sunday, Prat worked two multiple stakes winners in a little more than an hour at two tracks in Southern California.

Prat worked the filly Bellafina at Santa Anita at approximately 6:30 a.m., and Galilean at Los Alamitos, about 30 miles away, at about 7:45 a.m.

NEW ORLEANS – Although they will take different paths to get there, the top two finishers in Saturday's Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds are set to make their next starts in the Kentucky Derby on May 4, and the beaten favorite, War of Will, still has the Derby in play following a freak incident leaving the gate.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Gift Box, a graded stakes winner in December in his most recent start, was declared on schedule for the Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap on April 6 after a six-furlong solo workout at Santa Anita on Saturday.

Gift Box, unraced since a win in the Grade 2 San Antonio Stakes on Dec. 26, was timed in 1:13.80.

“He got over the track very well,” trainer John Sadler said.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Jockey Martin Garcia, who has not ridden since late November at Del Mar because of a shoulder injury, resumed exercising horses at Santa Anita on Saturday with the intent of a quick return to race riding.

Garcia said he received doctor’s clearance on Friday to resume exercising horses.

“I can’t believe how long it took to come back,” he said between workouts. “Today is my first day. They wouldn’t let me get on a horse until I got clearance.”

ARCADIA, Calif. – Omaha Beach, who won one of the two divisions of the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes at Oaklawn Park on March 16, will return to that track for the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby on April 13, while stablemate Extra Hope will be pointed for the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on April 6.

Trainer Richard Mandella confirmed those plans on Saturday. Omaha Beach and Extra Hope represent Mandella’s chances for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 4.

Runaway Ghost gave former jockey Todd Fincher the biggest win of his Thoroughbred training career when he won last year’s Grade 3, $800,000 Sunland Park Derby.

Hustle Up will attempt to give Fincher his biggest win as a breeder when he runs in the same race Sunday.

Hustle Up earned a shot at the Sunland Derby after he defeated open company in the local prep, the $100,000 Mine That Bird Derby.

Southern California-based trainer Peter Miller has leading contenders in two high-end sprint features on Sunday’s card at Oaklawn Park.

Captain Scotty looks like the controlling speed in the fifth race, an optional $40,000 claiming sprint at six furlongs that carries second-level allowance options. The horse was second at a similar condition in his last start Jan. 31 at Santa Anita. Captain Scotty dueled through a half-mile in 43.60 seconds in the slop and was beaten just three-quarters of a length in the six-furlong race, which went in a blazing 1:07.41.

Springtime is showtime for Eduardo “Lalo” Luna.

The groom behind two Triple Crown winners – American Pharoah in 2015 and Justify in 2018 – Luna could again leave his mark on the upcoming classics.

Luna, who is employed by trainer Bob Baffert, has one of his top prospects in action Sunday. Chasing Yesterday, a Grade 1-winning half-sister to American Pharoah, will start in the $200,000 Sunland Park Oaks. The race is a stepping-stone to the Kentucky Oaks.
