ETOBICOKE, Ontario – More than a week has passed since Neshama upset runner-up Gamble’s Ghost in the $500,000 Woodbine Oaks on June 12, and the connections of those two, plus third-place finisher Caren, are beginning to plot out their next starts.

ARCADIA, Calif.- The Grade 1 winner Wild Dude was recently sold to stand at stud in Korea, but could start in Saturday’s $300,000 Triple Bend Stakes at Santa Anita.

Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said on Sunday that the financial side of the transaction has been completed, but that paperwork issues could prevent Wild Dude from leaving the United States on Thursday, the current schedule. If Wild Dude remains in California after Thursday, the Grade 1 Triple Bend Stakes at seven furlongs could be the 6-year-old’s next start.

ARCADIA, Calif. - The champion females Beholder and Stellar Wind had their first workouts on Sunday since finishing one-two in the Grade 1 Vanity Mile at Santa Anita on June 4.

Beholder, a three-time champion who was named the outstanding older female of 2015, breezed a half-mile in 48.60 seconds.

“It was easy,” trainer Richard Mandella said. “We’ll do a little more next week.”

Beholder’s next start is scheduled for the $300,000 Clement Hirsch Stakes for fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles at Del Mar on July 30, a race she won last year.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Obviously ended a two-year losing streak with a sharp win in the $300,000 Poker Stakes at Belmont Park on Saturday, a victory that left trainer Phil D’Amato in no hurry to plan another race.

D’Amato watched the Grade 3 Poker Stakes from his base in California on Saturday. He said Obviously may start one more time before an intended run in the Breeders’ Cup Mile here at Santa Anita on Nov. 5. Obviously has started in the Breeders’ Cup Mile the last four years with his best finish a third in 2012. He was ninth in the 2015 BC Mile at Keeneland.

ARCADIA, Calif.-The champion Songbird will spend the summer and early fall racing on the road.

A day after Songbird extended her unbeaten streak to eight races in the $200,000 Summertime Oaks at Santa Anita, trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said three Grade 1 races at Saratoga in July and August and Parx Racing in Pennsylvania in September are goals for the California-based filly.

CYPRESS, Calif. – California Chrome continued to make steady progress toward a comeback next month with a six-furlong workout in 1:12.20 at Los Alamitos early Saturday.

What California Chrome did in the half-minute following the workout left trainer Art Sherman encouraged by the 5-year-old’s development. California Chrome galloped out in an aggressive style for another quarter-mile.

“Look how he stretches out,” Sherman said, watching California Chrome after the workout.

Trainer Bret Calhoun said he is considering the Grade 3, $500,000 Dwyer Stakes on July 9 at Belmont Park for Fish Trappe Road, most recently second at 25-1 behind another Churchill Downs-based colt, Tom’s Ready, in the Woody Stephens Stakes last weekend. Fish Trappe Road, a gray New York-bred colt, would be stretching out from back-to-back seven-furlong races to a one-turn mile in the Dwyer.

Tom’s Ready, trained by Dallas Stewart, has the Grade 1 King’s Bishop on the Travers undercard as his next main objective.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Private Zone likely will make his seasonal debut in the Grade 3, $400,000 Belmont Sprint Championship on July 9, according to Rene Douglas, managing partner for owner Good Friends Stable.

Private Zone won the Belmont Sprint Championship last July.

Private Zone, a three-time Grade 1 winner, was not permitted to run in the Grade 2 True North at Belmont on June 10 after Brian Lynch, his trainer of record at entry time, surrendered his license to the New York State Gaming Commission after testing positive for marijuana.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Touchofstarquality, a third-level allowance winner here May 21, is being pointed to the $100,000 State Dinner Stakes at 1 1/16 miles on July 4, trainer Michelle Nevin said Friday.

Touchofstarquality came off an eight-month layoff to win his race by 2 1/4 lengths, beating Shaman Ghost, who finished third and came back to win last weekend’s Grade 2 Brooklyn.

Nevin said she and owner Samantha Siegel chose the State Dinner over a race like the Grade 2 Suburban on July 9 because “we just want to get there bit by bit.”

ELMONT, N.Y. – Trainer Chad Brown said that although all diagnostic tests on Slumber came back negative, the 8-year-old likely will be retired from racing. Slumber was vanned off after finishing eighth in the Grade 1 Manhattan on June 11.
