ELMONT, N.Y. – The $150,000 Joseph A. Gimma Stakes on Sunday drew a field of 13 New York-bred juvenile fillies, while the $150,000 Bertram F. Bongard for New York-bred males on the same card managed to draw a field of only five.

The Gimma drew Iron Mizz, who won the Seeking the Ante Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 26 by three-quarters of a length over Code Red, who is back in this field.

Ribbonite won the Lady Finger by 6 3/4 lengths at Finger Lakes on Sept. 10, giving Robbie Davis his first stakes win as a trainer. She is wheeling back on three weeks’ rest in the Gimma.

ELMONT, N.Y. – A field of eight marathon types was entered in the $200,000 Temperence Hill, to be run Sunday at Belmont, and the 1 5/8-mile race appears wide open.

Baccelo, who won the Grade 3 Iselin at Monmouth and was third in the Seattle Slew Stakes here, might rate slight favoritism if he runs. Trainer David Jacobson had mentioned that he was pointing Baccelo to the Grade 2 Kelso going a mile here next Saturday.

ELMONT, N.Y. – There were no European shippers for Saturday’s Grade 1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic, but three horses who have been racing exclusively in Europe will be running in Sunday’s Grade 3, $200,000 Miss Grillo Stakes at Belmont Park.

The Miss Grillo, for 2-year-old fillies on turf, is one of four stakes on Sunday’s card. The others are the $200,000 Temperence Hill Invitational at 1 5/8 miles on dirt, the $150,000 Bertram Bongard for New York-bred juvenile colts and geldings on dirt, and the $150,000 Joseph A. Gimma for New York-bred juvenile fillies on dirt.

Supermason, who will run Saturday night at Remington Park, remains a candidate for the $50,000 Texas Horse Racing Hall of Fame Stakes on Oct. 29 at Retama, said Calhoun.

Supermason will face a past Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner in Regally Ready in the optional $35,000 claiming route at Remington. Supermason’s final drill for the race came Sept. 21, when he went six furlongs in 1:10.80.

“He worked by himself,” Calhoun said. “It was a pretty amazing work.”

Fish Trappe Road, the winner of the Grade 3 Dwyer in July at Belmont Park, wrapped up his season last Sunday with a third-place finish in the Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby.

“We’re going to rest him now,” said Bret Calhoun, who trains the horse for Martin Racing Stable.

Calhoun said Fish Trappe Road, who will get some farm time in Texas, will be brought back into training after the first of the year. He will join the trainer’s division at Fair Grounds.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Last year, Wavell Avenue used a good second-place finish in the Grade 2 Gallant Bloom at Belmont Park as a springboard to a 10-1 upset in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint.

On Saturday, she will again try to convince her connections to head to the Breeders’ Cup when she again runs in the Gallant Bloom Handicap at 6 1/2 furlongs.

ELMONT, N.Y. – X Y Jet, who recorded two dynamic stakes victories in the winter at Gulfstream and ran a terrific second in the Dubai Golden Shaheen, returns from an eight-month layoff in Saturday’s Grade 1, $350,000 Vosburgh at Belmont Park.

X Y Jet came out of the Golden Shaheen needing surgery to remove a chip in a knee. Prior to that, he won the Sunshine Millions Sprint and the Grade 3 Gulfstream Park Sprint in impressive, front-running fashion.

Taghleeb closed with a flourish to win the $100,000 Remington Park Green last Sunday, and now more distance looks to be in his future. Trainer Mike Maker said the horse, who has returned home to Kentucky, could run next at Keeneland.

Taghleeb won over 1 1/8 miles in the Remington Green, covering the distance on firm turf in a brisk 1:46.97. He earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 95.

“The further, the better for him,” said Maker, who trains the horse for Michael Hui. “We might try the Sycamore at Keeneland. It’s still up in the air.”

ELMONT, N.Y. – The prospect of a wet track has trainer Dallas Stewart wavering on whether to run probable favorite Forever Unbridled in Saturday’s Grade 1, $400,000 Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park.

Forever Unbridled has never raced on a wet track in 12 career starts.

“I’m very concerned,” said Stewart, who trains the horse for Charles Fipke. “I’m trying to figure it out. We’ll make the call at the appropriate time.”

ELMONT, N.Y. – Flintshire’s biggest opponent in Saturday’s Grade 1, $500,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont Park could be Mother Nature.

Only three horses were entered against Flintshire on Wednesday for the Joe Hirsch, the highlight of an 11-race program at Belmont Park that begins at 12:30 p.m. Eastern. Flintshire has already defeated two of his rivals, stablemate Money Multiplier and the hard-trying Twilight Eclipse. Ectot, a Group 1 winner three years ago in Europe, completes the field.
