Hot City Girl, third as the favorite in last Saturday’s Interborough Stakes, will point to the $100,000 Broadway Stakes for New York-bred fillies and mares Feb. 18 at Aqueduct.

Prior to the Interborough, trainer Linda Rice said Hot City Girl’s future would likely be determined by how she performed in that race. Hot City Girl dueled with Disco Chick early on and both were run down by Takrees, who beat Disco Chick a neck with Hot City Girl in third, beaten 1 3/4 lengths.

Weast Hill, who improved his Oaklawn record to 6 for 6 when winning an Arkansas-bred allowance Sunday in his first start since May, is being pointed to the $100,000 Nodouble on Feb. 25 at Oaklawn. The race is one of two stakes at the meet that trainer Brad Cox has penciled in for Weast Hill. He said the other is the $100,000 Arkansas Breeders’ on April 8.

Weast Hill won both of those races last year. The stakes are restricted to horses bred in Arkansas. Cox and breeder-owner Starsky Weast freshened Weast Hill last year with the intent of targeting those stakes at Oaklawn.

Sunland Park in New Mexico, which is conducting a mixed meet for Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses, on Monday announced changes to its racing format. The track plans to run all-Quarter Horse cards on Fridays, while the cards on Saturdays, Sundays, and Tuesdays will be mostly for Thoroughbreds.

The changes start Friday.

I’m a Chatterbox has two major objectives for the first half of the year, and the initial one comes Sunday at Sam Houston Race Park. A multiple Grade 1 winner, I’m a Chatterbox will make her first start since the Breeders’ Cup in the Houston Ladies Classic.

The Grade 3, $400,000 race is the richest Thoroughbred offering in Texas and will anchor a card of five stakes. The program includes the Grade 3, $250,000 Connally Turf Cup, a 1 1/2-mile race for 4-year-olds and up that drew a trio of entries from trainer Mike Maker.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Of the trio of 3-year-olds trainer Kiaran McLaughlin has nominated to the Grade 3, $250,000 Withers Stakes at Aqueduct on Feb. 4, only Haul Anchor has proven himself around two turns.

But McLaughlin wants to try Always a Suspect around two turns and give True Timber another shot in a route race so they will be aimed at the Withers, run at 1 1/16 miles.

Meanwhile, Haul Anchor, upset winner of the Damon Runyon Stakes for New York-breds on Dec. 29, will stay with his fellow statebreds and run in Saturday’s $100,000 Gander Stakes at Aqueduct.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Princess Roi had trainer Richard Baltas confused by the end of the Del Mar summer meeting last year. She was favored in two maiden races for 2-year-old California-bred fillies, but was a well-beaten second in both starts.

“I thought I was going to win first time out,” Baltas recalled Wednesday. “I didn’t know what she wanted to do. When she didn’t do it on the dirt, I thought she’s probably not a dirt horse.”

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Arrogate took off from California on Tuesday as the Eclipse Award-winning 3-year-old of 2016, and runner-up to California Chrome for Horse of the Year, but by the time he had arrived here at Gulfstream Park for the $12 million Pegasus World Cup on Saturday he had been declared the best horse in the world in ratings published by Longines and the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities.

“They can have Horse of the Year, we’ve got the best horse in the world,” Jim Barnes, the assistant trainer for Arrogate, said while laughing Wednesday morning.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Songbird, the two-time champion filly, returned to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer’s stable Monday from a winter break in Kentucky. The 4-year-old Songbird arrived a day earlier than expected, which was fine with the Hall of Fame trainer and his staff.

“She looks happy to be back, and we’re happy to have her back,” he said.

Songbird jogged at Santa Anita on Tuesday and Wednesday and will slowly return to full training in coming weeks for a 2017 campaign geared toward the Breeders’ Cup Distaff on Nov. 3 at Del Mar.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Gulfstream is offering the following pool guarantees Saturday, all of them ending with the Pegasus (race 12):

◗ $1 million for the late pick four (races 9-12)

◗ $500,000 for the late pick five (races 8-12)

◗ $300,000 for a solo winner in the Rainbow 6 (races 7-12).

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – A blockbuster race invariably is surrounded by a sensational undercard these days, and that’s certainly the case Saturday. No fewer than six undercard stakes are on tap, led by the first running of the $400,000 Poseidon, a 1 1/8-mile handicap that drew nine older horses.

Stanford (120 pounds) and Imperative (118) are the highweights and likely favorites in the Poseidon, which goes as race 5 (post, 1:30 p.m. Eastern).
