OZONE PARK, N.Y. – After finishing a respectable second in the Maddie May Stakes going two turns on Jan. 29, Toni Tools will turn back to a sprint when she heads a field of 10 entered for Sunday’s $100,000 Franklin Square Stakes at six furlongs.

Toni Tools, a daughter of Roaring Fever, won three straight sprints from Oct. 6 through Dec. 18 for trainer Todd Pletcher and owners Vinnie Viola and the MeB Stables of Maryellen Bonomo. Pletcher stretched her out in the Maddie May, and Toni Tools rallied from fifth to finish second, beaten a length by repeat winner Dublin Girl.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Despite racing eight fewer dates, the New York Racing Association in 2016 was down less than 1 percent in total handle on its races from the previous year, according to figures provided by the company on Wednesday.

A total of $2.23 billion was wagered on races from Aqueduct, Belmont, and Saratoga, a decrease of 0.7 percent from 2015, when $2.24 billion was wagered. In 2016, NYRA conducted 229 days of racing and 1,950 races. In 2015, NYRA conducted 237 days of racing and 2,220 races.

Fair Grounds racing officials on Wednesday listed Arklow, Girvin, Guest Suite, It’s Your Nickel, Local Hero, Mo Town, Shareholder Value, So Conflated, Sorry Erik, Takeoff, Untrapped, and U S Officer as expected entrants in the Risen Star. The race, one of six stakes on the card, will be contested at 1 1/16 miles and is the first North American Kentucky Derby prep of the year to offer 50 Derby qualifying points to the winner.

Alsvid, the millionaire sprinter who won his 8-year-old debut last month at Oaklawn, has been retired, trainer Chris Hartman said Tuesday. The gelding will be sent to the Elk City, Okla., farm of owners Jim and Jo Brenda Rogers.

Alsvid won 11 stakes during his career, at Churchill Downs, Oaklawn, Prairie Meadows, Remington Park, and Zia.

“We had a lot of good times,” Hartman said. “He took us to a lot of places and it was a lot of fun, but all rides come to an end.”

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Blue Tone, winner of the Grade 3 San Gabriel last month at Santa Anita, arrived Tuesday at Oaklawn for an intended start in the Grade 3, $500,000 Razorback Handicap on Monday, trainer Bob Hess Jr. said. Hess said Jose Ortiz will ride Blue Tone.

The Razorback also is expected to draw Gun Runner, winner of the Grade 1 Clark Handicap; Shotgun Kowboy, Goats Town, Hawaakom, and Mishegas. Possible starters include Dazzling Gem, Smack Smack, and Taketothestreets.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas has a pair of 3-year-olds targeting the Southwest in Warrior’s Club and Dilettante. Warrior’s Club won the Spendthrift Farm Stallion Stakes in October at Churchill Downs, while Dilettante popped a Beyer Speed Figure of 88 for a recent maiden special weight route win at Oaklawn.

Warrior’s Club enters the Southwest off a fourth-place finish in the $150,000 Smarty Jones on Jan. 16 at Oaklawn. He was racing on a wet track for the first time.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Trainer Ron Moquett has come up with a quality 3-year-old each of the last two meets at Oaklawn, and it appears he has another such runner in Petrov. Petrov goes Monday in the Grade 3, $500,000 Southwest Stakes, a race Moquett won in 2015 with Far Right and finished second in last year with Whitmore.

Petrov is a son of Flatter who has made three starts, winning his debut at Churchill Downs, then running second in both the King’s Swan at Aqueduct and the $150,000 Smarty Jones at Oaklawn in his most recent start Jan. 16.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – King Kranz won the Lost in the Fog Stakes for trainer John Terranova in 2016, and Caledonian won the Lost in the Fog for him this year. King Kranz makes his next start in an allowance race Friday at Aqueduct. Caledonian is expected to make his next start in Monday’s $100,000 Jimmy Winkfield Stakes here.

Caledonian was entered in the Gander Stakes around two turns on Jan. 28, but he was scratched due to a hind-end muscle pull. But Caledonian returned to the work tab Sunday, breezing a half-mile in 49.95 seconds, and galloped well Wednesday.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Paulassilverlining, an Eclipse Award finalist in the female sprint division, was back on the work tab Wednesday morning, but it remains to be seen when she will return to the races.

Paulassilverlining breezed a half-mile in 49.10 seconds over the Belmont Park training track Wednesday, just her third breeze since her victory in the Garland of Roses Stakes on Dec. 10 at Aqueduct. At one point, trainer Michelle Nevin was considering pointing Paulassilverlining to Saturday’s Grade 2 Barbara Fritchie at Laurel, but opted to back off her instead.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Hoping to get at least one more victory on her résumé before perhaps being retired, Hot City Girl drops back in with New York-breds when she heads a field of eight entered Wednesday for Saturday’s $100,000 Broadway Stakes at Aqueduct.

At this time last year, Hot City Girl was competing against open company. Following a runner-up finish in the Grade 1 La Brea in December 2015, Hot City Girl ran in the Grade 2 Barbara Fritchie at Laurel last February, finishing sixth of seven.
