CYPRESS, Calif. – Jockey Martin Pedroza was walking toward the jockeys’ room after his 100th career win at Los Alamitos on Thursday when he spotted a trainer friend along the paddock rail.

“I think I’m more tired than the horse,” Pedroza said.

The 52-year-old rider had a good excuse for being tired. Pedroza said he has been battling bronchitis while continuing to ride.

“I feel good even though I’m sick,” he said.

His sense of humor was intact, too.

“I had to ask the outrider to pull me up,” Pedroza said.

Terra’s Angel, the upset winner of the Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf on Sept. 4, is likely to switch surfaces and run in the Grade 1 Chandelier Stakes on dirt for 2-year-old fillies at Santa Anita on Sept. 30, trainer Dallas Keen said on Friday.

Keen said the Chandelier Stakes at 1 1/16 miles has appeal because the race is part of the Breeders’ Cup Win and You’re In program for the BC Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar on Nov. 4, providing a fees-paid berth for the winner.

CYPRESS, Calif. – Dortmund, the Grade 1 winner who was retired in April but put back in training this summer, might make a comeback in the Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes at Santa Anita on Sept. 30.

Dortmund worked seven furlongs in 1:26.40 at Los Alamitos on Thursday.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The final Downs After Dark card of the year will be held under the Churchill lights next Saturday, with the $100,000 Dogwood for 3-year-old fillies and a rare Arabian race serving as the features of an 11-race card that starts at 6 p.m. Eastern.

The seven-furlong Dogwood drew a deep roster of 33 nominations, including Champagne Room, Classy Tune, Farrell, Tequilita, and Vertical Oak. Entries will be drawn Wednesday. The Dogwood typically is a lead-in to the Grade 2 Raven Run, on Oct. 21 at Keeneland.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Finley’sluckycharm equaled a record by winning three stakes at the Churchill spring meet, after which trainer Bret Calhoun sought bigger game by pointing the star 4-year-old filly to the Grade 1 Ballerina on the Aug. 26 Travers undercard at Saratoga.

But Finley’sluckycharm failed to make the Ballerina – she missed training with a lower-leg strain that since has healed. Calhoun now is aiming at the Oct. 7 Thoroughbred Club of America Stakes at Keeneland as a prep for the BC Filly and Mare Sprint.

Kentucky Downs easily surpassed its record for all-sources handle when $30,246,888 was wagered at its five-day 2017 meet, which ended Thursday.

Officials at the turf-only track in south-central Kentucky reported an increase of 34 percent over the previous record, set during the five-day 2016 meet. The gains were more impressive in that only one Saturday card was held this year versus two last year.

“It just shows that horseplayers and casual fans alike love the Kentucky Downs product,” general manager Ted Nicholson said in a press release.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Embattled trainer Jorge Navarro, who was not allowed to run horses in Maryland and Indiana this week, will be permitted to run horses in New York, according to state and New York Racing Association officials.

He is also pointing El Deal, winner of the Grade 1 Alfred G. Vanderbilt Stakes at Saratoga, to the Grade 1 Vosburgh at Belmont on Sept. 30.

Papa Shot’s third-place finish in the Keeneland Korea Cup in Seoul, South Korea, on Monday has trainer Linda Rice thinking she may like to try Korea racing again in 2018.

Papa Shot, a 5-year-old New York-bred gelding owned by Barry Schwartz, was beaten 21 lengths by winner London Town in the Korea Cup, but he did earn $114,842. Rice said that Bill Nader, former head of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, approached both her and Schwartz about sending a few horses to Korea for their major night of racing.
