ARCADIA, Calif. – The final Saturday of January will be a showcase for California-breds at Santa Anita. Four stakes for statebreds will be run that day.

The most high-profile stakes will be the $150,000 California Cup Sprint at six furlongs, featuring the Grade 1 runners Edwards Going Left and Masochistic.

Edwards Going Left was second in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs Dec. 26. Masochistic, 8, won the Grade 1 Triple Bend Stakes at seven furlongs at Santa Anita in 2015.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Giant Expectations is bound for Gulfstream Park and the $16 million Pegasus World Cup on Jan. 27 following a fast workout at Santa Anita on Friday.

Clockers timed Giant Expectations in 58 seconds for five furlongs. Trainer Peter Eurton timed Giant Expectations in 46.60 seconds for the first half-mile and in 59 seconds for five furlongs.

“It was a little quicker than what I was looking for,” Eurton said.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Gun Runner settled in perfectly Thursday night at Gulfstream Park and was sent through an easy gallop Friday as final preparations begin for the likely 2017 Horse of the Year to make the last start of his brilliant career next Saturday in the $16 million Pegasus World Cup.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – A pair of allowances (races 5 and 10) for older horses will serve as the nominal features on an 11-race Sunday card at Gulfstream Park, which begins at noon Eastern. As usual, the most compelling storyline of the day involves the Rainbow 6 sequence, which runs from races 6 to 11.

Entering Friday action, the Rainbow 6 jackpot had swelled to $2,571,483, with Dec. 7 being the last time a solo winning ticket had emptied the pool. A mandatory pool dispersal is set for next Sunday, Jan. 28.

Extravagant Kid in 26-1 upset

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Three spills in a span of three racing days at Gulfstream have left two jockeys sidelined with injuries.

Richard Mitchell was hospitalized with facial injuries sustained when his mount, Perfect State, clipped heels and fell, throwing the rider to the turf in the final turn of the 10th race Thursday. Two other jockeys were thrown from their mounts but were not seriously hurt, nor were any of the three horses, according to track officials.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Champagne Room, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2016, is sidelined with a foot injury and may be retired to be bred, trainer Peter Eurton said Thursday.

Eurton said Champagne Room faces a 90-day rest caused by a hairline fracture in a foot and that the filly’s owners are debating whether to keep her in training.

“They’re considering some offers for her,” Eurton said. “If we did decide to keep her in training, she won’t race again until July.”

Eurton said the foot injury was detected earlier this week.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The $100,000 Busanda Stakes for 3-year-old fillies, a race that offered qualifying points to the May 4 Kentucky Oaks, drew only four entrants and was not carded for Sunday as scheduled.

Andrew Byrnes, the stakes coordinator for the New York Racing Association, said the 1 1/8-mile race will be put up again for Thursday and entries will be taken on Sunday.

Five of the nine fillies nominated to the Busanda are also nominated to the Ruthless, a seven-furlong race for 3-year-old fillies scheduled for Jan. 28.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Divine Miss Grey, dominant winner of Monday’s $100,000 Interborough Stakes at Aqueduct, will point to the Grade 2, $300,000 Barbara Fritchie Handicap at Laurel Park on Feb. 17, trainer Danny Gargan said Thursday.

Gargan said Divine Miss Grey came out of the Interborough “great” and he sees no need to stop on her now that she’s in such good form. Divine Miss Grey won the Interborough by 3 1/4 lengths a month after she won an allowance race here by 3 3/4 lengths.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The extremely well-bred Sherini will try to join a long list of stakes-winning siblings when she runs in Sunday’s $100,000 Ladies Stakes at Aqueduct. This will be the 147th running of the Ladies, first contested in 1868.

Sherini, owned and bred by Len Riggio’s My Meadowview Farm, is a 5-year-old daughter of Bernardini out of the Unbridled mare Oatsee, who has produced Grade 1 winners Shackleford and Lady Joanne as well as graded stakes winners Afleeting Lady and Baghdaria.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Hoppertunity worked five furlongs in 1:00 on Thursday in preparation for an expected start in the Grade 2 San Pasqual Stakes at Santa Anita on Feb. 3.

The $200,000 San Pasqual Stakes is run at 1 1/8 miles, and essentially has traded places on the Santa Anita calendar with the San Antonio Stakes.

Hoppertunity won the Grade 2 San Antonio Stakes in early February the last two winter-spring meets. This meet, the San Antonio was run on the Dec. 26 opening day of the meet, and Hoppertunity finished fourth.
