HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – The first chance for Jordan’s Henny to show her 59-1 upset at Gulfstream last Saturday in the Grade 3 Hurricane Bertie was no fluke will come in the Grade 2 Inside Information here March 17, said trainer Mike Tomlinson.

“I knew she’d be a price, but not that big,” said Tomlinson. “It was a great day, a lot of fun. The filly ran extremely well and came out of it in great shape. I know her Beyers might have been a little low, but she ran in some very tough company last year.”

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Terry Finley grew up near Philadelphia as an ardent fan of the local NFL team, so of course he’ll be at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Sunday when the Eagles face New England in Super Bowl LII. One minor hitch: He won’t be at Gulfstream Park on Saturday to watch Untamed Domain begin his 3-year-old campaign for West Point Thoroughbreds in the Dania Beach Stakes.

“I’ll have to watch on my phone,” said Finley, the West Point president.

ARCADIA, Calif. – For nearly two years, from late 2014 through the summer of 2016, trainer Keith Desormeaux enjoyed the finest stretch of his career, winning four Grade 1, seven-figure races.

The stable had one of the most prominent 3-year-olds of 2016 in Exaggerator, who won the $1,000,690 Santa Anita Derby, $1.5 million Preakness, and $1,015,000 Haskell Invitational. Two years earlier, Texas Red won the $1.84 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita.

“That was a nice run,” Desormeaux reflected recently. “I hope it’s not the end. I’m optimistic.”

Trainer Steve Asmussen worked six stakes-bound 3-year-olds five furlongs on Monday at Fair Grounds, but where and when those races come remains up in the air, Asmussen said Tuesday.

It was bound to happen sometime. The 3-year-old colt Givemeaminit, in his seventh try, finally won a horse race.

Six losses to start his career didn’t signify a lack of talent – not at all. But after finishing second to subsequent Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes winner Sporting Chance while making his career debut in a Saratoga maiden race last summer, Givemeaminit went on to contest three Grade 1 races and a Grade 2. He was third, beaten a neck, in the Hopeful and fourth of 12 in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.

Monomoy Girl breezed five furlongs in 1:00 on Monday at Fair Grounds, the fastest of 55 such works that morning, and appears to be progressing rapidly toward her 3-year-old debut in the Rachel Alexandra Stakes on Feb. 17 at Fair Grounds.

Monomoy Girl figures to be favored in that race, and after winning three of her four starts at age 2, her lone loss a neck defeat to Road to Victory in a fast edition of the Grade 2 Golden Rod Stakes at Churchill Downs, Monomoy Girl rates as an early Kentucky Oaks favorite.

Forever Unbridled, the champion older female of 2017, is gearing up for a 6-year-old campaign in 2018, trainer Dallas Stewart said Monday.

Injured rider Victor Carrasco received a positive assessment from his doctor Tuesday and has been cleared to pick up the pace in his physical therapy.

Carrasco, the Eclipse Award-winning apprentice of 2013 and a mainstay in the Maryland riding colony, broke the tibia and fibula in his lower right leg in a September spill at Delaware Park. On Tuesday, his doctor told him he no longer needed to wear a walking boot.

“The bone is healing great but is not 100 percent yet,” Carrasco said. “I’m allowed to start doing whatever I want in therapy, just not running or jumping.”

The West Virginia Racing Commission has approved a 123-date racing schedule for Mountaineer Park this year. The season will run May 1 through Nov. 28, with racing Sundays through Wednesdays beginning at 7 p.m. Eastern.

Mountaineer has not released its stakes schedule yet, but the West Virginia Derby is penciled in for Saturday, Aug. 4, with a 2 p.m. first post. The track also will race on Kentucky Derby Day, Saturday, May 5. There will be no racing on Wednesday, July 4.

The promising Maryland-bred 3-year-old Still Having Fun turned in the best effort of his brief career last Saturday, pulling away in the stretch of the $100,000 Frank Whiteley Jr. Stakes at Laurel Park to win by 4 1/2 lengths.

Despite not having broken cleanly in any of his races and having lead-change difficulties, Still Having Fun is now 2 for 3 and only a neck away from being undefeated. His Beyer Speed Figures have been on a steady climb from a 75 to an 83 to an eye-popping 92.
