Trainer Wayne Catalano said Wednesday he would not be shipping Farrell to Delaware Park for this Saturday’s Grade 2, $750,000 Delaware Handicap.

Farrell, a confirmed front-runner, is based at Churchill Downs. A four-time Grade 2 winner, Farrell is coming off runner-up placings in the Grade 2 Fleur de Lis and the Grade 1 La Troienne at Churchill. She may have gone off the third choice in the Del Cap behind expected favorites Elate and Unbridled Mo.

Catalano said the race “looked a little cluttered” for his filly.

New York racing regulators are considering whether to weigh an appeal by supporters of the trainer Richard Dutrow to modify his 10-year ban on applying for a license, according to officials involved in the campaign.

The appeal to reconsider the penalty could be added to the agenda of the July 16 meeting of the New York Gaming Commission, according to attorney Karen Murphy, who has been coordinating an effort to modify Dutrow’s ban, five and a half years after he began serving the penalty.

Monmouth Park adds Friday racing to its calendar this week. The eight-race card will begin at 1:15 p.m. Eastern.

Race 2 is a second-level optional-claiming race on turf, race 6 is a first-level-allowance turf sprint, and race 7 is a first-level optional-claiming race at 1 1/16 miles.

The 20-cent Jersey Shore 6 has a Friday carryover of $116,514, which will be paid out when there is a single winning ticket. On Sunday, $39,537 was bet into the pool.

Jose Ferrer's six wins last Sunday gives him 35 at the meet. Paco Lopez, who started Sunday tied with Ferrer, has 29.

Coming into the racing week at Laurel Park, Wasabi Ventures Stables has won four consecutive races at the Maryland track.

Wasabi Ventures is a partnership in which investors buy shares in available stable horses. Wasabi Ventures is a co-owner in all of the horses in its program. Wasabi was founded by its managing partner, T.K. Kuegler, in 2017 and has gone 19 for 123 (15 percent).

Jessica Krupnick held on by a whisker to win a three-horse photo finish in the Dashing Beauty Stakes at Delaware Park last Saturday. The win was her first in a stakes, pushed her earnings to more than $200,000, and made her a major player in the MATCH Series.

An Uncle Mo 5-year-old, Jessica Krupnick is having her best season for Fair Hill-based horseman Tres Abbott. The stakes win was important to her owner, the Sycamore Racing V partnership, because it improved her residual value after her racing days are over.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – McCraken could make his next start in the Grade 1 Whitney on Aug. 4 at Saratoga as trainer Ian Wilkes prepares to send most of his best horses to both coasts from his Churchill Downs base.

McCraken, third as the favorite last Friday night in the Cornhusker at Prairie Meadows, will be part of a 20-horse contingent going to Saratoga.

“If everything goes well in his training, we’ll think about the Whitney,” said Wilkes.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Finley’sluckycharm continued her preparations for the Grade 2 Honorable Miss on July 25 at Saratoga when she breezed a half-mile Tuesday in 49.20 seconds at Churchill.

“Everything’s good,” said trainer Bret Calhoun. “We’re heading to Saratoga with her Friday. She’ll work there the following Wednesday, then run the Wednesday after that. I’m really happy with her.”

Seven Trumpets, a distant second to Firenze Fire last Saturday in the one-mile Dwyer at Belmont, is being considered for a turn-back to 6 1/2 furlongs in the Grade 3 Amsterdam on July 28 at Saratoga, said trainer Dale Romans.

“I’m also thinking about the Amsterdam for Promises Fulfilled and Cove Blue,” said Romans, who will have a 20-horse string at Saratoga.

With no stakes at Ellis Friday-Sunday, allowance races will serve as nominal highlights. The lone allowance on an eight-race Friday card at the western Kentucky track is the last race, while two allowances (races 5 and 7) anchor a nine-race Saturday card. First post daily is 12:50 p.m. Central.

The $50,000 Good Lord, set for July 22, is the next Ellis stakes.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Chad Brown trains seven of the 15 fillies and mares nominated to the $500,000 Diana Stakes, the first Grade 1 of the Saratoga meet, scheduled for July 21.

Brown said Sunday he could run as many as four in the 1 1/8-mile turf race. A Raving Beauty, winner of the Grade 1 Just a Game, and Sistercharlie, winner of the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley, are considered definite to run. Fourstar Crook, who beat Sistercharlie in the New York Stakes, and New Money Honey, who came off a lengthy layoff to win an allowance race at Belmont, are possible.
