ELMONT, N.Y. – Mike Lakow is coming home.

Lakow, the racing secretary at the New York Racing Association from 1995 to 2005, is returning to NYRA to be the racing secretary for Aqueduct and Saratoga.

This summer, Lakow will serve as the associate racing secretary at Saratoga as Martin Panza, the senior vice president of racing operations for NYRA, will write the condition books for the 40-day meet that begins July 20. Lakow will take over as racing secretary at Aqueduct when that meet begins Nov. 2.

ELMONT, N.Y. – The New York State Gaming Commission denied jockey David Cohen a license to ride in New York because he failed to comply with licensing requirements, according to a ruling issued on Thursday.

Cohen applied for a New York license on April 18 and was given what’s known as a valid receipt to ride while his application was reviewed. Cohen owes the commission some paperwork, and he may have an issue regarding financial obligations from a prior relationship, according to a source.

Cohen couldn’t be reached for comment.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Gotham Stakes winner Enticed was turned out about a month ago and will be getting 30 to 60 days off, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said.

Enticed, who finished 14th in the Kentucky Derby, had been pointed to the Dwyer Stakes, but he hadn’t been training to McLaughlin’s satisfaction.

“We weren’t real happy with him,” McLaughlin said. “He’s okay. Got checked out, no surgery required.”

McLaughlin said the length of Enticed’s time away would decide whether he has a chance to return to the races this year or will be aimed at a 4-year-old campaign.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Recent allowance winners White Flag and Blacktype are likely headed back to stakes company, trainer Christophe Clement said Thursday.

On Wednesday, White Flag won a third-level allowance race by 2 1/4 lengths, running seven furlongs in 1:20.59 while earning a 95 Beyer Speed Figure. It was his first victory since he took the Allied Forces Stakes here last September.

“I thought he was very impressive yesterday,” Clement said. “He looked like a winner every step of the way.”

The agenda for a Monday meeting of the New York Gaming Commission does not include an item sought by supporters of the banned trainer Rick Dutrow to reconsider his 10-year penalty.

Carol Cedeno set a record for wins in a day by a rider at Delaware Park on Wednesday, scoring with seven of her nine mounts on the 10-race card.

The former record was six victories, which had been accomplished seven times. Michael McCarthy rode six winners twice, once in 1997 and again in 1998. The other riders are Joe Rocco Jr. (2011), Jimmy Edwards (1984), Greg McCarron (1974), George Cusimano (1968), and Eldon Nelson (1958).

Cedeno rode six Thoroughbred winners and one Arabian. The other riders won solely Thoroughbred races.

King Zachary raised his game to new heights with a highly rated win June 16 in the Grade 3 Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs, and he will try to repeat that performance and win the Grade 3, $500,000 Indiana Derby on Saturday night at Indiana Grand.

Hay Dakota, Majestic Pride, Ibaka, and Patriots Rule – all of whom raced June 23 in the $100,000 Mystic Lake Mile – are matched in race 4, a high-end turf allowance feature, Friday night at Canterbury Park.

Hay Dakota won the 2017 Mystic Lake Mile and finished second in last month’s edition, beaten a half-length by My Bariley. He deserves to be favored in the Friday feature, but lacks positional speed and is back on relatively short rest following one of the stronger races of his career.

The Lone Star Park Racing Club will attempt to extend its record to 3 for 3 at this meet on Friday night, when Fred’s Lucky Boy makes his first start for the group. He goes in the opener, a five-furlong turf sprint in which he is offered for a claiming price of $12,500.

Lone Star Park launched the club at the start of the meet, and it won with its first runner, Lodi Street – who was claimed from the group. The club came back and won with its second starter, Peej. J.R. Caldwell trains for the Lone Star Park Racing Club.

M and M Racing and Karl Broberg have emerged as an owner-trainer team to watch. They had first stakes win together last week at Evangeline Downs and will be shooting for another this weekend at Lone Star Park.

Americium captured the $50,000 Opelousas last Friday at Evangeline, while Silver Moon Rising will start as one of the top contenders in the $100,000 fillies’ division of the Texas Thoroughbred Futurity on Sunday at Lone Star. Broberg joined the M and M Racing team of Mike and Mickala Sisk this year, picking up horses for Lone Star.
