ELMONT, N.Y. – Mo Town, a seven-length winner of a one-mile maiden race at Belmont last Saturday, will be pointed to the Grade 3, $200,000 Nashua Stakes on the Nov. 4 opening-day card at Aqueduct, trainer Tony Dutrow said Monday.

Mo Town, a son of Uncle Mo, was making the second start of his career last Saturday. He got a beautiful stalking trip under John Velazquez before taking over in upper stretch and drawing clear. He ran a mile in 1:37.26 and earned an 83 Beyer Speed Figure.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Cavorting won’t have many workouts between now and the Breeders’ Cup Distaff, but she had one Monday, breezing a half-mile in 48 seconds over the Belmont Park main track.

It was the first work for Cavorting since her victory in the Grade 1 Personal Ensign at Saratoga on Aug. 27, her third straight graded stakes victory. Though she is nominated to Saturday’s Grade 1, $400,000 Beldame, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin reiterated that Cavorting will simply train up to the Distaff at Santa Anita on Nov. 4.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Lane Luzzi and Tyler Gaffalione will go head-to-head on key contenders in Thursday’s $37,000 allowance feature at Gulfstream. Luzzi rides With a Kiss, and Gaffalione is aboard Tiz Boa in the 7 1/2-furlong turf test for statebred fillies and mares.

Both will have their work cut out to beat likely favorite First Illusion and the lightly raced but improving Somethingelse.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Last summer, it was Tyler Gaffalione who parlayed his success during the Gulfstream Park summer meet into an Eclipse Award as the nation’s leading apprentice. Now, it’s Lane Luzzi who is taking a similar path.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – There won’t be many horses lining up alongside Three Rules for Saturday’s $500,000 In Reality Stakes at Gulfstream. But one 2-year-old expected to be there for the finale of the Florida Sire Stakes series will be Illmatic, who is short on experience but long on potential, according to trainer Ralph Nicks.

Illmatic, a son of Kantharos, will enter the 1 1/16-mile In Reality as a maiden, having finished second in his only start, which came going seven furlongs here Sept. 11.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Texas Chrome and Sticksstatelydude were headed in different directions on Monday, the morning after they finished first and second in the Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park.

Texas Chrome won his seventh stakes race in the Oklahoma Derby on Sunday, and trainer J.R. Caldwell said he could land next in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile on Nov. 4 at Santa Anita. Sticksstatelydude has a tentative goal of the Grade 3 Discovery at Aqueduct, said trainer Greg Burchell.

Anchored by the Grade 1 Cigar Mile, Aqueduct will host 29 stakes – 11 of which are graded – worth $4.85 million during the fall meet, which begins Nov. 4.

The Cigar Mile, scheduled for Nov. 26, has a base purse of $500,000, but Grade 1 winners will run for the winner’s share of a $750,000 purse, and winners of a Breeders’ Cup race would run for the winner’s share of $1 million. These purse bonuses were first put into place in 2013.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Wonder Gal returned from a seven-month layoff Sept. 2 with the best performance of her career, winning a New York-bred allowance race by 11 1/2 lengths at Saratoga. On Saturday, she is scheduled to return to open company in the Grade 2, $300,000 Gallant Bloom Handicap at Belmont Park with an eye toward the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint.

ELMONT, N.Y. – After a planned summer freshening, Joking will return to the races in Saturday’s Grade 1, $350,000 Vosburgh Stakes at Belmont Park.

The 7-year-old gelding is 3 for 4 this year, with a neck victory in the Grade 2 True North in June. He was entered in the Belmont Sprint Championship on July 9 but scratched due to an injured splint bone.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Forever Unbridled, the Apple Blossom Handicap winner, was scheduled on Monday to ship from Kentucky to Belmont for Saturday’s Grade 1, $400,000 Beldame Stakes for fillies and mares at 1 1/8 miles around one turn.

Trainer Dallas Stewart was considering the Grade 1 Spinster at Keeneland on Oct. 9 for Forever Unbridled, in part because that race is run around two turns, but he ultimately decided on the Beldame because of the timing.
