ARCADIA, Calif. – The Irish-bred colt River Boyne is winning in a style this winter that suggests he could have a big season in the United States.

After a convincing maiden win on the opening-day program of the Santa Anita winter-spring meeting Dec. 26, River Boyne won an allowance race with a $75,000 claiming option for 3-year-olds in Thursday’s seventh race.

Ridden by Flavien Prat, River Boyne closed from fifth in a field of 10 to win by an impressive 2 3/4 lengths.

“He’s got a serious turn of foot,” trainer Jeff Mullins said.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Ivan Fallunovalot, who is near $1 million in career earnings, is being pointed to the $125,000 Hot Springs Stakes on March 10 at Oaklawn, according to trainer Tom Howard.

Ivan Fallunovalot finished second in the King Cotton on Feb. 3 at Oaklawn. He broke slowly, had two horses beat early, and rallied to finish two lengths behind winner, Wilbo. Ivan Fallunovalot earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 90.

“Ivan came back good,” Howard said. “We don’t know why he missed the break.”

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Untrapped, winner of last year’s Oklahoma Derby, is being pointed to the Grade 3, $500,000 Razorback Handicap, trainer Steve Asmussen said.

The race will share a card with the Grade 3, $500,000 Southwest Stakes on Feb. 19 at Oaklawn.

Untrapped won the Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby in September, and in his most recent start was a close fourth in the $125,000 Fifth Season on Jan. 12 at Oaklawn.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Scott Young, the former jockey who has won the last two training titles at Will Rogers Downs in Claremore, Okla., has expanded his presence at Oaklawn.

Young has 20 horses on the grounds this meet, double the normal for the barn. Young’s top local prospects include P C Cowboy, a dead-heat winner of an allowance route last month at Oaklawn, and Jerrid, winner of the Prairie Meadows Mile in June.

Young has another 30 horses in training in Oklahoma for the Will Rogers meet, which opens March 12.

Quip, a 3-year-old colt who showed plenty of ability last fall in Kentucky, is progressing toward his 2018 debut but won’t start in the Feb. 17 Risen Star Stakes, trainer Rodolphe Brisset said.

Believe in Bertie, a multiple-stakes-winning 5-year-old mare, has been retired from racing and will be bred this year, owner and co-breeder Richard Klein said earlier this week.

Finley’sluckycharm was one of the best older female sprinters in North America during 2017, and she is set to launch her 2018 campaign on Tuesday at Fair Grounds in the Mardi Gras Stakes.

Indiana Grand will run 35 stakes races worth about $4.3 million during its 2018 race meet, the track announced in a news release Thursday.

The number of stakes and their total value remains unchanged from 2017, but the press release said several stakes have been moved to Tuesdays. Indiana Grand is among the most-played simulcast signals on Tuesday, the least-populated day of the racing week. Most of the track’s stakes, as was the case last year, are scheduled for Wednesdays.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Jeter, the popular 9-year-old gelding named after popular New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, died this week, trainer Ed Barker said Thursday.

Jeter was entered to run in Thursday’s fourth race, a New York-bred $25,000 claiming race.

Barker said Jeter showed signs of colic Tuesday morning. A veterinarian working on another horse on the other side of Barker’s Aqueduct barn came over to try to treat Jeter. According to Barker, the gelding reared and fell backward.
