LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Finley’sluckycharm had been perfect in six starts at Churchill Downs prior to finishing fourth in the Grade 1 Humana Distaff on the Kentucky Derby card last weekend. Trainer Bret Calhoun said the defeat, in hindsight, was at least partly understandable given how hard the mare ran in a nose victory in her previous start, the Grade 1 Madison on April 7 at Keeneland.

The Louisiana Racing Commission has approved an 81-date Thoroughbred meet for Fair Grounds in New Orleans. The track will open Nov. 17, 2018 and race through March 31, 2019. Fair Grounds also was awarded a 10-date Quarter Horse meet for this year, from Aug. 16 through Sept. 8.

During the same commission meeting, Evangeline Downs in Opelousas, La., was granted a 46-date meet for Quarter Horses, from Oct. 3 through Dec. 19.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas – Conquest Mo Money, who on Sunday at Lone Star Park ran fourth in his first start since the Preakness, could return to Lone Star for the Grade 3, $200,000 Lone Star Park Handicap on May 27.

Trainer Miguel Hernandez said options for Conquest Mo Money are being discussed with owner Judge Lanier Racing, and they also include route stakes in New Mexico, including the $200,000 Downs at Albuquerque Handicap on Aug. 4.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas – Bee Jersey could be headed for New York.

Bee Jersey, who won his third straight race Sunday in the Grade 3, $200,000 Steve Sexton Mile at Lone Star Park, is being considered for a start in the Grade 1, $1.2 million Met Mile on June 9 at Belmont Park, according to his trainer, Steve Asmussen.

Imperial Hint came out of his sixth-place finish in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Stakes tired but fine, according to trainer Luis Carvajal Jr. Imperial Hint was scheduled to arrive back at Parx on Wednesday.

Imperial Hint was the 6-5 favorite in the nine-horse field last Saturday. It is the first time in eight starts since November 2016 that Imperial Hint finished worse than second. He set the pace under Javier Castellano for the first six furlongs of the seven-eighths race, then weakened over the sloppy footing to be beaten 4 1/4 lengths.

Mario Pino, the 10th-leading rider in North American history with 6,857 wins, will ride full time at Delaware Park this summer.

Pino, 56, is a native of Wilmington, Del. He started his career at Delaware Park and led the standings in 1979 and 1980. He also rode there from 2004 to 2008. Since 2009, Pino’s summer base has been Presque Isle Downs, where he finished third in the standings the past two seasons.

Force the Pass ran so well in his comeback race at Monmouth Park on Saturday that it would have been deemed a success even if he hadn’t won. But the 6-year-old put his nose down at the right moment in the $75,000 Cliff Hanger and, following a lengthy photo review, was determined to have beaten Irish Strait, who put in a very good effort of his own off the bench.

The multiple stakes-winning 3-year-old filly Midnight Disguise worked five furlongs in 1:00.84 Wednesday morning over the Belmont Park training track and will make her next start in the Grade 2, $250,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico on May 18.

Midnight Disguise won the Busanda and Busher stakes at Aqueduct during the winter and earned enough qualifying points to make it into the Kentucky Oaks field. But after she finished fourth in the Grade 2 Gazelle Stakes at Aqueduct on April 7, trainer Linda Rice decided to skip the Oaks.

Easily the most stunning result in the seven Derby Day stakes was the 4 3/4-length romp on the sloppy track by Funny Duck, a 39-1 shot, in the Grade 3 Pat Day Mile. The Distorted Humor colt was racing on dirt for the second time and recording just his second win from seven overall starts.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Yoshida, who came off a seven-month layoff to win Saturday’s Grade 1 Old Forester Turf Classic at Churchill Downs, will be pointed to the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes on June 19 at the Royal Ascot meet.
