HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Tony Dutrow said Wednesday that Mo Town was scheduled to arrive at his Payson Park base from Fair Grounds later in the day and that he is withholding any judgment on the colt’s disappointing performance in the Risen Star last weekend.

“I want to give everyone a detailed catch-up on Monday after I’ve spent some time with him over the weekend,” said Dutrow. “But there are no red flags. I left him there Sunday in New Orleans, and everything was fine.”

Finger Lakes racetrack and its horsemen have reached a one-year deal that will clear the way for a 145-day live race meet this year starting on April 22, officials for the two sides said on Tuesday, but uncertainty over the long-term future of the track continues to loom.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – McCraken, the unbeaten colt who ranks as the favorite for the May 6 Kentucky Derby, will miss his next scheduled prep race, the March 11 Tampa Bay Derby, after sustaining what trainer Ian Wilkes described as a “very minor” injury to his left front ankle.

All was fine for McCraken following a Monday breeze at the Palm Meadows training center, but “we noticed he was a little off this morning,” Wilkes said Tuesday.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Arrogate worked like the superstar he has become on Monday at Santa Anita and will make his next start March 25 in the Grade 1, $10 million Dubai World Cup.

Midnight Storm also worked like a star Monday at Santa Anita. The presumptive favorite for the Grade 1, $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap on March 11, he may also run in Dubai, which would preclude a start in the Big Cap.

Racer pulled off arguably the biggest upset in Arkansas-bred racing in the last three years when he won the $100,000 Nodouble Stakes over Weast Hill on Saturday at Oaklawn Park. Weast Hill had won his prior seven local starts, a streak that began in 2015.

Now, the horses are headed for a rematch in the $100,000 Arkansas Breeders’ Stakes on April 8 at Oaklawn, their trainers said.

Racer took the Nodouble in wire-to-wire fashion, capitalizing on a sharp break under Jon Court and playing catch me if you can with Weast Hill.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Dazzling Gem could be coming home soon.

The horse, who launched his career at Oaklawn Park last season with back-to-back wins, is being pointed to the track’s $250,000 Essex Handicap, trainer Brad Cox said Monday. The 1 1/16-mile race is March 18.

Dazzling Gem, who has been wintering at Fair Grounds, finished third, beaten a half-length, in the Grade 3, $125,000 Mineshaft Handicap last Saturday. For the effort, he earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 93.

“I thought he ran a winning race,” Cox said. “He ran really well.

Gormley and Mastery, both Grade 1 winners and two of the top 3-year-olds in California, both worked six furlongs on Monday at Santa Anita, and they could face one another in the Grade 2, $400,000 San Felipe Stakes on March 11.

Gormley, with regular rider Victor Espinoza up, was timed in 1:11, the fastest time of 14 at the distance. Mastery was timed in 1:15.

Yorkiepoo Princess, who aced her two-turn debut with a 1 1/4-length victory in Saturday’s $150,000 Busher Stakes, will attempt 1 1/8 miles in the Grade 2, $300,000 Gazelle Stakes at Aqueduct on April 8, trainer Ed Barker said Monday.

Barker said Yorkiepoo Princess came out of the Busher “a little bit tired, but no bumps, no bruises” and noted that she will have six weeks between races.

“That’s perfect,” Barker said.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Though Action Everyday has won both of his starts, trainer Todd Pletcher believes the horse has more to give. So, when Pletcher runs Action Everyday in Saturday’s Grade 3, $300,000 Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct, he plans to equip the son of The Factor with blinkers for the first time.

Pletcher noted that when Action Everyday won a first-level allowance race at Tampa Bay Downs on Jan. 27, he was a bit reluctant to load, and when he made the lead at the top of the stretch, he thought the race was completed.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Mind Your Biscuits is scheduled to leave with other American prospects for the Dubai World Cup Carnival on a transatlantic flight out of Fort Lauderdale International Airport on March 14, trainer Chad Summers said following the colt’s narrow loss to Unified in the Grade 3 Gulfstream Park Sprint here Saturday.

Mind Your Biscuits closed stoutly while earning a 101 Beyer Speed Figure, his fourth straight triple-digit mark. The New York-bred colt runs next in the $2 million Golden Shaheen on March 25 at Meydan in Dubai.
