ELMONT, N.Y. – Trainer Rodrigo Ubillo said it will be “a dream” to participate in this year’s Breeders’ Cup with Highway Star, who earned her shot in the Filly and Mare Sprint on Nov. 4 with a neck victory in the Grade 2 Gallant Bloom Handicap.

In reality, Highway Star earned her Breeders’ Cup chance before Sunday, but her connections wanted to see another good performance before committing to run. Highway Star wore down Carina Mia by a neck for her third graded stakes victory of the year to go along with a head loss to By the Moon in the Grade 1 Ballerina on Aug. 26 at Saratoga.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Sporting Chance, winner of the Grade 1 Hopeful at Saratoga, will be sidelined the remainder of the year after having a chip removed from a knee, trainer D. Wayne Lukas said Monday.

Lukas was targeting the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity on Oct. 7 at Keeneland and potentially the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile on Nov. 4 at Del Mar for Sporting Chance, who had won two of his first three starts and was among the leaders of the 2-year-old division.

Jimmy Barnes, the longtime assistant to Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, was released Friday from the hospital, where he had been since suffering a fractured pelvis in a morning training accident Sept. 17 at Santa Anita.

Barnes was unseated from a stable pony in an incident Baffert described as a “freaky thing.” Baffert said the pony lost his footing.

Barnes, 58, was resting at home over the weekend, according to his wife, Dana, an exercise rider for Baffert. He is expected to remain at home for a few weeks before returning to work.

At a time of year when many ambitions for 2-year-olds focus on races around two turns, there are more modest goals for Candy Crew.

Candy Crew won a six-furlong maiden race in his debut Sunday at Los Alamitos, drawing off in the final furlong to prevail by 3 3/4 lengths in 1:10.59. Owners Pete and Kosta Hronis and trainer John Sadler intend to keep Candy Crew sprinting.

“He’s not bred to go on,” Sadler said. “I think he’ll go up to six or seven furlongs.”

Cambodia swept the two Grade 2 stakes for fillies and mares on turf at Del Mar’s summer meeting. She will be pointed to a third stakes win at the track’s autumn meeting in either the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf at 1 1/8 miles or the Grade 2 Goldikova Stakes at a mile on turf. Both races are run Nov. 4.

“We’re considering the Breeders’ Cup because she loves Del Mar so much,” owner Don Robinson said. “She seems to be a California girl, and the options are out there.”

Robinson said plans will be finalized after conferring with trainer Tom Proctor.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Promising 2-year-old filly Summer Sunday will get the rest of the year off, trainer Stuart Simon said. Summer Sunday won the Muskoka Stakes here on Aug. 30 in her last start.

“She’s got some immature 2-year-old things happening, and we’re stopping on her,” he said. “She’s a really nice filly, and I’m just not taking any chances.”

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Mr Havercamp recorded his first stakes win, and the third win in his first four starts, in Saturday’s $125,000 Vice Regent Stakes over a mile on the Woodbine turf, and is emerging as one of Woodbine’s top 3-year-olds.

Trainer Catherine Day Phillips said the son of Court Vision came out of the Vice Regent in good order, despite running the race with just three shoes.

“He’s good,” she said. “He lost his shoe in the race. I think when he came out of the gate, he stumbled a little. Aside from that, he seems to be fine and happy.”

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Canada’s top sprinter Pink Lloyd, who is unbeaten in six stakes starts this year, has a number of options for his next start.

Trainer Bob Tiller said Pink Lloyd could try turf for the first time in the Grade 2, $250,000 Nearctic Stakes over six furlongs on Oct. 15, or wait for the $125,000 Overskate Stakes for Ontario-sired 3-year-olds and upward over seven furlongs on Tapeta on Oct. 29.

Tiller added that the Grade 2, $175,000 Kennedy Road Stakes over six-furlongs on Tapeta on Nov. 25 is also a long-term target.

Simon Callaghan-trained Run Away has earned a brief vacation after winning his third sprint stakes in Saturday’s $100,000 Barretts Juvenile at Los Alamitos.

Callaghan said Sunday that Run Away is unlikely to race again until the Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes at seven furlongs at Del Mar on Nov. 11.

“The race seems logical,” Callaghan said. “I think he deserves a little break now. We’ll jog him for a few weeks and let him decompress.”

ARCADIA, Calif. - Spectator, the winner of the Grade 2 Sorrento Stakes at Del Mar on Aug. 5, has been taken out of training and will miss two key Grade 1 races for 2-year-old fillies in Southern California in coming months: Saturday’s $300,000 Chandelier Stakes at Santa Anita and the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar on Nov. 4.

But the Chandelier is the likely next start for Moonshine Memories, who won the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante on Sept. 2, a race in which Spectator finished third in her most recent start.
