Jockey Gerry Olguin turned 44 on Sunday, but the celebration really began when he rode two winners here that day to reach the 2,000-victory mark.

Olguin, who has made Woodbine his home base since 2000, will retire on Jan. 29. He had plenty of time to savor win No. 2,000, which came on favored Dumont in the ninth race. Dumont pulled away in the lane to a 3 1/2-length victory in the $12,500 maiden claimer.

“It felt so good,” said Olguin. “I’d been wanting to get it. It was a personal goal of mine.

NEW ORLEANS – After toying with the idea of running their promising 4-year-old December Seven on Saturday in the Louisiana Stakes, owner Samantha Siegel and trainer Paul McGee decided not to enter the colt and will wait for the Grade 3 Mineshaft here Feb. 25.

NEW ORLEANS – The good news is that trainer Joe Sharp and owner Brad Grady have two promising 3-year-olds this winter.

NEW ORLEANS – Trainer Wayne Catalano left the door open to taking Farrell out of the Silverbulletday Stakes even after entering the filly Friday, but after Farrell worked five furlongs in 1:01.60 on Sunday, Catalano said she would indeed start Saturday in the $150,000 Silverbulletday.

“She worked by herself, and she worked very well,” Catalano said. “It looks like we’re running.”

NEW ORLEANS – While schooling I’m a Chatterbox in the Fair Grounds paddock Sunday, trainer Larry Jones confirmed that the multiple Grade 1-winning mare will make her turf debut Saturday in the $75,000 Marie Krantz Memorial Stakes here.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Oaklawn will put the spotlight on fillies and mares Thursday in the eighth race, an optional $35,000 claimer over six furlongs. Modify and Zaphical both appear to be leading contenders after finishing second and third to Finley’sluckycharm in a second-level allowance in September at Churchill Downs.

Finley’sluckycharm has since gone on to win two more races, including the Dream Supreme at Churchill. Following the stakes, she was a close second in the Grade 1 La Brea at Santa Anita in her most recent start Dec. 26.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Rockshaw is a candidate for the 3-year-old sprint stakes at Oaklawn Park after his win in a Saturday allowance, trainer Ron Moquett said. The horse earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 82 for his first-level allowance score, a race in which he covered 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:04.31.

The initial race for Rockshaw’s division is the $125,000 Gazebo on March 4. The other is the $150,000 Carousel on April 13.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Trainer Ron Moquett brought Eclipse Award finalist Jose Ortiz to town to ride opening weekend at Oaklawn Park, and the two had a memorable run Saturday and Sunday.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Lockdown, now 2 for 2 over the inner track following her victory in Sunday’s Busanda Stakes, could stay in New York and point for the Busher Stakes on Feb. 25.
