OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Trainer Kelly Breen said that Tempted winner Miss Sky Warrior will be considered for a return trip to New York for the Grade 2 Demoiselle at Aqueduct on Nov. 26.

Breen said that if Miss Sky Warrior comes out of the Tempted well, he would like to run her once more this year in either the Demoiselle or the Golden Rod at Churchill Downs the same day. The Demoiselle is at 1 1/8 miles, while the Golden Rod is at 1 1/16 miles.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Tom Albertrani is looking ahead to the pair of 2-year-old stakes at the end of the month at Aqueduct, but he might not be running the juveniles who gave him a win and a second in the opening round of 2-year-old stakes at the meet.

Hemsworth won last Friday’s Grade 2 Nashua Stakes here by 9 1/2 lengths, but Albertrani said Monday he is inclined to skip the Grade 2 Remsen on Nov. 26 with that colt and instead run the maiden Newman.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Arrogate may not be the only late-blooming 3-year-old son of Unbridled’s Song to keep tabs on in 2017.

Hot Seat, another 3-year-old son of Unbridled’s Song, has won his first two starts by a combined 20 1/2 lengths ahead of his stakes debut in Saturday’s Grade 3, $150,000 Discovery Stakes at Aqueduct.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The victory by Arrogate in the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Saturday was one of several results last week at Santa Anita that should have a significant impact on the year-end Eclipse Awards.

Arrogate had just one stakes win going into the Classic, in the Travers Stakes, and as brilliant as was that performance, he likely needed do so something equally spectacular to wrest the 3-year-old male title from Nyquist, the Kentucky Derby winner, and Exaggerator, the Preakness winner, both of whom had multiple Grade 1 victories earlier in the year.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – The undefeated Mythical Mission is on track to make her stakes debut in Saturday’s $250,000 Princess Elizabeth Stakes, trainer Malcolm Pierce said.

Mythical Mission followed up on her debut win on turf Sept. 23 with an allowance victory over 1 1/16 miles on Tapeta in her most recent start Oct. 21. While that race was originally scheduled for turf, Pierce said having a race over the Tapeta worked out for the best.

“It made our decision easier to run [in the Princess Elizabeth], seeing how she handled the Tapeta fine the other day,” he said.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Tiz a Slam, who powered his way to a 1 3/4-length victory in the $250,000 Cup and Saucer Stakes on turf Oct. 22, will not run back in the $250,000 Coronation Futurity this Sunday, trainer Roger Attfield said.

Tiz a Slam was not among the 18 nominations for the Coronation Futurity, which is restricted to Canadian-bred 2-year-olds and will be run over 1 1/8 miles on Tapeta.

Lazzam, second in the United Arab Emirates 2000 Guineas in Dubai in February, was recently acquired for approximately $75,000 and will join trainer Richard Baltas’s stable in California this week.

Lazzam was sold at the Tattersalls Autumn horses in training sale in England last month to Jamie Lloyd and David Meah. Lloyd, a former trainer in Southern California, is a bloodstock agent in England. Meah, also active in bloodstock, is Baltas’s assistant trainer.

Union Strike, who finished sixth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita on Saturday, will be pointed to the $300,000 Starlet Stakes at Los Alamitos on Dec. 10.

“That will do for her,” owner Mick Ruis said on Sunday.

Union Strike won the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante on Sept. 3 for her first win. She was trained by Shelbe Ruis at the time. Craig Dollase took over training of Mick Ruis’s horses in October after the owner had a professional split with his daughter. Mick Ruis shares ownership of the stable with his wife, Wendy.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Well-known in Europe, Irish jockey Seamus Heffernan introduced himself to American racing fans on Saturday aboard Highland Reel in the $4 million Breeders’ Cup Turf at Santa Anita.

Heffernan was impossible to ignore, essentially stealing the race at 1 1/2 miles on the pacesetter Highland Reel, who led by as many as seven lengths and won by 1 3/4 lengths over the New York star Flintshire.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Obviously, winner of Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, will race as a 9-year-old in 2017 with the goal of a sixth consecutive appearance in a Breeders’ Cup race at Del Mar next fall.

Trainer Phil D’Amato said Sunday no plans have been finalized for Obviously’s next start.
