ARCADIA, Calif. – Miss Southern Miss and Metaboss are recovering from injuries that forced them out of the Breeders’ Cup.

Miss Southern Miss, who missed Friday’s Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf because of a sore shin, will undergo X-rays next week to determine how long she will be sidelined. Trainer Keith Desormeaux said Miss Southern Miss likely will miss 30 to 45 days of training.

Owned by Pete Cantrell, Miss Southern Miss won the Surfer Girl Stakes at a mile on turf at Santa Anita on Oct. 10.

ARCADIA, Calif. – There are two Grade 1 races at the Del Mar fall meeting, which runs from next Friday through Dec. 4. Both are $300,000 races on turf – the Hollywood Derby for 3-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles on Dec. 3 and the Matriarch Stakes for fillies and mares at a mile Dec. 4.

The first graded stakes of the meeting is the Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes for 2-year-olds at seven furlongs on Nov. 19. Mastery, a stylish maiden-race winner for trainer Bob Baffert at Santa Anita in October, is among the candidates for the $100,000 race.

ARCADIA, Calif. – With an 18-race losing streak behind him, Imperative will be sent to Del Mar this fall in search of his first graded stakes win since April 2014.

On Thursday, Imperative closed from last in a field of eight to win the $89,835 Big Bear Stakes at a mile on the main track at Santa Anita.

“I was so happy to see him back in the winner’s circle,” trainer Richard Baltas said. “He’s had some good races and some bad races. He lost a heartbreaker earlier this year.”

ARCADIA, Calif. – Acapulco, a winner at Royal Ascot in 2015, will make her American graded-stakes debut in Saturday’s $100,000 Sen. Ken Maddy Stakes for fillies and mares on the hillside turf course at Santa Anita.

She has not raced since May, a layoff that was far from the intention of trainer Wesley Ward. In June, Acapulco was diagnosed with a foot injury that prevented her from starting at the Royal Ascot meeting in England.

“It ruined her whole summer,” Ward said.

KEY CONTENDERS

Found, by Galileo

◗ A 4-year-old filly, Found seems to thrive on activity. The BC Turf will be her 10th start of the year. Last year, she had eight starts, ending with a win in the BC Turf at Keeneland.

◗ Ryan Moore rides Found, who is most effective racing from off the pace. The BC Turf will be her eighth consecutive appearance in a Grade 1 or Group 1 race.

Seth Klarman is one of the most successful investors in the world, so much so that he’s earned the moniker “The Next Warren Buffett.” In racing, the stock of his Klaravich Stables also is on the rise and could potentially peak at this weekend’s Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita.

ARCADIA, Calif. – When Art Sherman went to the Kentucky Derby as the exercise rider for Swaps in 1955, he rode in a railroad boxcar. Now, six decades later, he has jetted to places like Dubai and London as the celebrated trainer of a celebrated horse, California Chrome. But as that run nears its end, Sherman reflected on what California Chrome has meant to him, marveling at the good fortune that came his way so late in his training career.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Metaboss, a longshot entrant in Saturday’s $4 million Breeders’ Cup Turf at Santa Anita, was retired on Wednesday after sustaining a sesamoid injury while galloping on the turf course, trainer Phil D’Amato said.

Metaboss was pulled up and vanned back to D’Amato’s stable. The diagnosis was made within an hour.

“He’s fractured a piece of his right sesamoid,” D’Amato said. “He’ll have a long life ahead of him, but he won’t be racing anymore. It’s not a life-threatening injury, but it is career-ending.”

Laurel Park will hold Claiming Crown Preview Day on Sunday, which will produce starters for the $1.1 million Claiming Crown on Dec. 3 at Laurel’s sister track, Gulfstream Park.

The nine starter stakes at Laurel will offer total purses of $400,000. The winners of the Claiming Crown Preview races will earn fees-paid berths in the corresponding Gulfstream races and will receive free shipping to Florida.

ARCADIA, Calif. – For British trainer Michael Stoute, Ulysses is a most unlikely entrant in Saturday’s $4 million Breeders’ Cup Turf at Santa Anita. Ulysses was second in the Group 3 Winter Hill Stakes at Windsor Racecourse in England on Aug. 27 in his most recent start, a far cry from the established form of Stoute’s past winners of the BC Turf.

Stoute has won the race four times, with Pilsudski in 1996, Kalanisi in 2000, and Conduit in 2008 and 2009.
