HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Enticed, the winner of the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes last November, will break from post 1 when making his 2018 debut Saturday at Gulfstream Park in a field of 11 3-year-olds in the 29th running of the Grade 2, $350,000 Holy Bull Stakes.

Seventeen Kentucky Derby qualifying points, including 10 to the winner, are at stake in the 1 1/16-mile Holy Bull, which will be the last of 12 races on a Saturday card that starts at noon Eastern. Post time for the Holy Bull will be about 5:49.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Trainer Brad Cox seems to be winning races everywhere this winter and that includes Aqueduct, where he went 4 for 6 in January. This is the first winter in which Cox has maintained a string in New York.

“I was kind of on the fence whether to stay or go probably until November,” Cox said. “I’m glad we stayed. The horses are running well, doing well. We’ve been able to get the right races for them. It’s really worked out well.”

Cosmic Burst worked five-eighths in 1:01.60 on Monday at Oaklawn as she prepares for her 3-year-old debut, which is scheduled to come Feb. 10 at Oaklawn in the $125,000 Martha Washington, trainer Donnie Von Hemel said.

Cosmic Burst has won her last three races, including the $100,000 Trapeze at a mile in December at Remington Park and an allowance at Churchill Downs. Von Hemel has been keeping up with the local 3-year-old filly division, including the recent Dixie Belle, which Amy’s Challenge won in a stretch battle with Mia Mischief.

It’s not every day an 8-year-old gets claimed for $80,000. But then, Hogy is not your typical 8-year-old.

“He’s got the legs of a 3-year-old,” trainer Mike Maker said.

Maker trains Hogy for Michael Hui, who claimed Hogy last August at Saratoga. Hogy, now 9, picked up a second stakes win for Hui on Sunday at Sam Houston in the $75,000 Frontier Utilities Turf Sprint. Hogy closed from last to win by 2 1/4 lengths under Eclipse Award-winning jockey Jose Ortiz, earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 97.

“He’s a remarkable horse at his age,” Maker said.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Hoppertunity, a multiple stakes-winning millionaire, will miss Saturday’s Grade 2 San Pasqual Stakes at Santa Anita while undergoing treatment for an abscess in a foot. Trainer Bob Baffert said the abscess was detected Tuesday. Entries for the $200,000 San Pasqual Stakes at 1 1/8 miles for older horses were taken Wednesday.

Baffert said on Wednesday that there isn’t enough time to get Hoppertunity ready for the San Pasqual.

“He looks good today, but it’s too close,” Baffert said.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The reopening of San Luis Rey Downs in Bonsall, Calif., which sustained widespread damage in a wildfire on Dec. 7, has been delayed until April 1 to allow construction of 250 temporary stalls and permit the offtrack training center to receive daily compensation from a stabling fund.

Tim Ritvo, the chief operating officer of The Stronach Group, which owns San Luis Rey Downs and Santa Anita, said last month that some stalls would be available at San Luis Rey Downs as early as this week, with full capacity set for the spring.

Monmouth Park will run six more stakes this year than in 2017 and has boosted its stakes schedule by $615,000. In all, Monmouth plans to hold 39 stakes at its 52-day meet, worth a total of $4.34 million.

The improved stakes schedule comes on the heels of the Jersey Shore track’s Jan. 23 announcement that it will offer owner and trainer participation bonuses this year, will continue to provide free workers’ compensation insurance for employees of trainers stabled at Monmouth, and will keep its stable area open later than usual, to Oct. 31.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - A pair of Woodbine turf stakes, the Highlander Stakes and the Summer Stakes, have been upgraded to Grade 1 status for the 2018 season by the Jockey Club of Canada.

The Highlander Stakes, a six-furlong sprint for 3-year-olds and upward that typically is run as part of the Queen’s Plate undercard, and the Summer Stakes, a one-turn mile for 2-year-olds, were both Grade 2 events last season. Last season, the Highlander offered a fees-paid berths into the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, and the Summer to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Game Over, scratched from the Fred Hooper Stakes last Saturday, will be turned out for about 90 days and gelded after recently coming up with a foot issue, according to owner Ron Paolucci.

Game Over, runner-up in the West Virginia Derby last August, has not raced since finishing fourth in the Sept. 23 Pennsylvania Derby. The 4-year-old Mineshaft colt had been training forwardly at Gulfstream West for Jorge Navarro.
