All American Futurity winner Imperial Eagle is being pointed for trials for the Grade 2 Hobbs America Futurity at Zia Park in Hobbs, N.M., trainer Tony Sedillo said on Wednesday. The trials are to be run Sept. 24. The 400-yard finale is Oct. 9.

Imperial Eagle won his fourth straight race in the Grade 1, $3 million All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs. He was the fastest overall qualifier for the race, and was a neck winner as the favorite. The All American is the richest 2-year-old offering available to Quarter Horses.

Laurent Beaucamp, the rider who was seriously injured in a racing accident at Monmouth Park in New Jersey on Sept. 5, remains in critical condition after undergoing a seven-hour surgery Wednesday to stabilize his spine, according to a close friend of the rider.

Wellabled, a 7 3/4-length winner of the Grade 3 Arlington-Washington Futurity last weekend, is likely to make his next start in the Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland, trainer Larry Rivelli said.

Wellabled, by Shackleford, came out of the race well, according to his trainer. Geared down late, Wellabled got a career-best 88 Beyer for his win in the seven-furlong Futurity.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – The 2-year-old filly Diadura, 2 for 2 to start her career, came out of her win in the Arlington-Washington Lassie last Saturday in good physical condition and is likely to make her next start in the Grade 1 Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland, according to trainer Mike Stidham.

Keeneland also could be the next stop for one Stidham-trained turf-route mare, Secret Someone, while another, Zipessa, is likely to wind up at Santa Anita.

Lone Star Park will put on the richest race in Texas during its 26-night Quarter Horse meet that opens Friday – the $1 million Texas Classic Futurity.

“It will be on closing day again this year, as it always is, with the finale on Nov. 12,” said Bart Lang, director of racing for Lone Star. “Trials will be three weeks before, on Oct. 22.”

Euro K Shotgun carried expectations on her shoulders last month when she made her career debut at Remington Park. As a half-sister to Shotgun Kowboy, winner of last year’s Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby, she had a family reputation to uphold.

Euro K Shotgun did so with a sharp score and will now vie for favoritism in Friday night’s Oklahoma Stallion Stakes.

Remington has carded two Oklahoma Stallion Stakes divisions Friday. The races are for the 3-year-old offspring of nominated stallions, and both will be run over seven furlongs for a purse of $50,000.

Bendable is bound for the $250,000 Raven Run Stakes at Keeneland on Oct. 22 after winning her stakes debut in the $75,000 Beverly Lewis Stakes at Los Alamitos last Sunday.

The Raven Run field will not include Enola Gray, who lost for the first time when second in the Lewis Stakes. Enola Gray will stay in California for a three-race campaign through the end of the year, said trainer Phil D’Amato.

Union Strike, the winner of the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante on Sept. 3 in her stakes debut, will not start in the $300,000 Chandelier Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 1, but remains an intended starter for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies on Nov. 5, owner Mick Ruis said on Wednesday.

Ruis said Union Strike had “a little bit of shins” before the Debutante, but has recovered since the seven-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies. She has been jogging in recent days, and was scheduled to begin galloping on Thursday at Santa Anita.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Back-to-back allowances are the nominal features on the Friday opener, although it’s quite possible the horses with the greatest upside are in an earlier race.

Untapped, a full sister to 2014 Kentucky Oaks winner Untapable (by Tapit out of Fun House, by Prized), will make her debut in the sixth race, a $43,000 one-mile maiden race that has a number of 2-year-old fillies with attractive pedigrees.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – With 2-year-olds, there’s always hope. That’s one reason Dale Romans is so high on Not This Time – not to mention the trainer’s natural inclination to give his horses a great benefit of doubt.

“He might be one of the best I’ve ever hard,” Romans said. “He’s got all the makings.”

Not This Time, a 10-length winner of an Aug. 12 maiden race at Ellis Park, will be among the favorites when he starts from the outside post in a field of eight in the Grade 3, $150,000 Iroquois Stakes, one of four stakes on a terrific Saturday card at Churchill Downs.
