Bucchero wants to run no more than six furlongs on turf, while Bullards Alley needs at least 1 1/2 miles on grass for his best.

Trainer Tim Glyshaw should have little trouble keeping his stable stars apart next year.

Time will tell if Brad Cox can repeat as leading trainer at the Fair Grounds meet, but there’s little doubt Cox will be heard from in a wide swath of stakes races this season.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – The $200,000 Claiming Crown Jewel is the main event Saturday on opening day of the 2017-18 Gulfstream Park Championship meet. And in the true spirit of the Claiming Crown, the 1 1/8-mile Jewel drew a large and competitive field of 13 horses coming off races run at eight different racetracks throughout the U.S. and Canada.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Trainer John Servis will have contenders in both the Demoiselle and Remsen – Grade 2, $200,000 stakes for juvenile females and juveniles, respectively, at Aqueduct on Saturday.

In the Demoiselle, Servis will send out the uncoupled entry of Daisy and Maurer Power in a field of eight.

Daisy, a daughter of Blame, is 2 for 2, including a 4 3/4-length victory in the Grade 3 Tempted here on the Nov. 3 opening-day card.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The decision by the New York Racing Association to move the Cigar Mile back a week on the calendar seemed to pay dividends as four of the 10 horses entered Wednesday for Saturday’s Grade 1 stakes are coming out of a race run on Breeders’ Cup weekend.

Jockey Tracy Hebert reached 4,000 Thoroughbred wins in North America on Tuesday, when he guided Rational Decision to a 4 1/4-length victory in the fourth race at Zia Park in Hobbs, N.M.

Hebert, 54, is a native of Erath, La., the same hometown as jockeys Randy Romero, Shane Sellers, and Curt Bourque. Hebert’s first win came at 16 at Evangeline Downs in 1979. He was aboard for his uncle and mentor, trainer Doris Hebert. Tracy Hebert’s mounts have since earned more than $54 million.

Caleb’s Posse, the winner of the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile in 2011, will be among six inductees into the Oklahoma Horse Racing Hall of Fame on Dec. 15 at Remington Park.

Others set to enter the Hall are broadcaster Chris Lincoln, trainer Joe Offolter, jockey Luis Quinonez, breeder C.R. Trout and multiple stakes winner She’s All In. They will be feted between races on a card that will kick-start the final weekend of the meet at Remington.

Norman McKnight, a former Standardbred driver and trainer who is in the midst of his best year training Thoroughbreds, will be wintering at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark., for the first time following the close of the Woodbine meet on Dec. 10.

McKnight is the second-leading trainer at Woodbine in Toronto. He plans to have a 20-horse division at Oaklawn, which opens Jan. 12. McKnight said the remaining runners in his stable will go on a vacation. The horses for Oaklawn will ship around Dec. 15.

CYPRESS, Calif. – Carpathia kept up with the rest of her family when she won a maiden race for California-bred 2-year-old fillies at Del Mar on Nov. 5 in her second start.

Six of Carpathia’s older half-siblings have won a race, but none is a stakes winner. Carpathia can become the first in the family to do so in Saturday’s $100,000 Soviet Problem Stakes for statebred 2-year-old fillies at a mile at Los Alamitos.

The distance of the race suits Carpathia, said trainer Phil D’Amato.

Mr. Hinx, who was vanned off after finishing second in the Damascus Stakes at Del Mar on Nov. 3, is recovering from surgery for a displaced condylar fracture of a foreleg.

Owner and breeder Gary Barber said at Del Mar last weekend that there is no timetable for Mr. Hinx’s recovery and is hopeful the 3-year-old gelding will race again. Mr. Hinx underwent the operation days after the Damascus Stakes.

“It will take time,” Barber said.

“The vet is very happy. They say it went well. Some come back and some don’t come back.”
