CYPRESS, Calif. – Galilean, an unraced Uncle Mo colt purchased for $600,000 at the Barretts April sale of 2-year-olds in training, is one of six probable starters in Saturday’s $100,000 Barretts Juvenile at Los Alamitos.

The Barretts Juvenile, restricted to 2-year-olds who were offered at an auction conducted by Barretts, is the final stakes of the Los Angeles County Fair meeting at Los Alamitos, which ends on Sunday.

Galilean is owned by West Point Thoroughbreds and trained by Jerry Hollendorfer.

CYPRESS, Calif. – Dabster, who has won consecutive stakes at Del Mar and Los Alamitos in the last month, is a candidate for the Grade 2 Marathon at Churchill Downs on Nov. 2, trainer Bob Baffert said on Wednesday.

Dabster won the $75,000 Harry Brubaker Stakes at a mile at Del Mar on Aug. 22 and the $100,000 Los Alamitos Special at 1 1/4 miles last Sunday. The $200,000 Marathon is run at 1 3/4 miles on dirt on Breeders’ Cup Friday.

“It sounds like a good idea,” Baffert said.

The Del Mar summer meeting ended more than two weeks ago, just as trainer Michael McCarthy’s stable was showing strength. He won seven races at the 36-day meeting, finishing tied for 10th in the trainers’ standings.

McCarthy won three fewer races this summer at Del Mar than he did in 2017 but finished the recent meeting with five wins from his last 20 runners in the final month of the season.

“We started off a little quiet,” he said. “We won better races and more quality races this summer. That’s the objective.”

Sippin Fire will be the star of the show Sunday, the final day of racing this year at Emerald Downs. The 3-year-old gelding by Harbor the Gold will be gunning for his fifth stakes win at the meet in the $100,000 Getaway Stakes for 3-year-olds.

If he is victorious in the 1 1/16-mile Getaway Stakes, he would tie Noosa Beach for the record of most stakes win in a single meet at Emerald.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Trainer Wayne Catalano is contemplating a turnback in distance for his stable star Farrell, the speedy 4-year-old filly who has run at a mile or longer for most of her 18-race career. Catalano said the seven-furlong Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint here Nov. 3 is under consideration for her.

“I’m still not sure what we’ll do,” Catalano said Wednesday. “We might prep at Belmont, maybe Santa Anita, maybe just wait for the Breeders’ Cup.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Seeking the Soul, winner of the Grade 1 Clark Handicap here last fall, is one of 25 nominees to the Lukas Classic here Sept. 29, but trainer Dallas Stewart may opt instead to run him at a one-turn mile in the Grade 3, $100,000 Ack Ack, one of three other stakes on the card.

Seeking the Soul faded to finish 13th as the second wagering choice in his last start, the Sept. 1 Woodward at Saratoga. In his four prior starts, the Charles Fipke homebred had earned triple-digit Beyer Speed Figures.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Tyler Gaffalione has picked up the mount on Mind Your Biscuits and will be at Churchill Downs to breeze the heavy favorite for the Sept. 29 Lukas Classic early Friday morning under the lights.

Joel Rosario has ridden Mind Your Biscuits, the all-time leading New York-bred earner with more than $4.1 million, in his last three starts, but is committed Sept. 29 to Accelerate in the Awesome Again at Santa Anita.

Jessica Krupnick’s second-place finish in the Roamin Rachel Stakes at Parx Racing last weekend put her on the lead for the Mid-Atlantic Championships overall title, which will be decided Saturday on the De Francis Dash card at Laurel Park. The owner of the overall series champion will earn a $50,000 bonus, and the winning trainer will receive $25,000.

Parx has pulled out all the stops for its premier racing program of the year Saturday, which is topped by the Pennsylvania Derby and Cotillion, both $1 million Grade 1’s.

Also slotted are the Grade 3, $300,000 Gallant Bob, a competitive six-furlong sprint for 3-year-olds; the $150,000 Pennsylvania Derby Championship, a 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-olds and up; and the Alphabet Soup, a 1 1/16-mile turf race for Pennsylvania-breds.

The card includes four first-level allowance races, a second-level optional claimer, and a 2-year-old maiden race.

Nobody has come closer to beating 3-year-old filly division leader Monomoy Girl this season than Wonder Gadot, who finished second to her by a half-length in the Kentucky Oaks. On Saturday, Wonder Gadot will try Monomoy Girl again in the Grade 1 Cotillion at Parx Racing.

Monomoy Girl is 5 for 5 on the year, with four of her wins coming by two lengths or more. In the Kentucky Oaks, she came into the stretch on a clear lead before being taken on by Wonder Gadot from the outside. The pair brushed repeatedly through the final furlong, with Monomoy Girl edging away late.
