HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – While Mohaymen, the 2016 Holy Bull Stakes winner, continues along the Kentucky Derby trail, Upstart, the 2015 winner, has just begun really stretching his legs in preparation for what his connections hope will be a successful 4-year-old campaign.

Laurel Park will hold a fundraiser next Saturday for jockey Fray Martinez and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Maryland.

Martinez, 21, is being treated for acute myeloid leukemia in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Martinez won 83 races in the Mid-Atlantic between April 2014 and last May. He had 36 wins at Laurel and Pimlico and finished fifth in the 2014 Delaware Park standings. Martinez’s wife, Yelitza, is expecting their first child this spring.

Trainer Kieron Magee was presented with a nice piece of crystal last Saturday at Laurel Park to recognize his leading the Maryland Jockey Club tracks in victories last year. He can put it on the mantel next to his 2014 award in the same category.

Magee, a 55-year-old native of Ireland, has been training since 2007 after working for many years as an exercise rider, primarily as a freelancer at Pimlico.

“I got on the ones nobody else wanted, and I have the pains to prove it,” Magee said. “It was just ‘show me the money.’ I had a lot of fun. Pimlico was always my place.”

NEW ORLEANS – Winning the Keith Gee Memorial last Sunday on turf, the 3-year-old colt One Mean Man, trained by Bernie Flint, provided the most recent success stemming from the mating of the stallion Mizzen Mast and the mare Abbeyville Miss.

Flint and partner Ron Hillerich own and bred One Mean Man, who has won 2 of 8 starts and earned $80,705. He’ll race next in the Black Gold Stakes on Feb. 27, Flint said.

The name is misleading, Flint said, because One Mean Man isn’t mean.

NEW ORLEANS – Sunday’s feature at Fair Grounds, a first-level turf allowance at about a mile, drew a full field of 14 older fillies and mares plus an also-eligible. Handicappers will be straining to make sense of this wide-open competition, the eighth race on a nine-race card.

ARCADIA, Calif. – First post for Sunday’s eight-race program at Santa Anita is 11 a.m. Pacific to allow the program to be completed before the Super Bowl.

The program is scheduled to end at approximately 2:40 p.m. Super Bowl kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Pacific.

Because of the earlier post time, the track has suspended a promotion that guarantees the pick six pool will reach $150,000 and that the late pick four will reach $500,000. The promotions will resume Feb. 13.

NEW ORLEANS – As the Grade 2 Risen Star Stakes on Feb. 20 approaches, Harold Joseph said he’ll be thinking about the champion for whom the final Louisiana Derby prep is named.

That’s only natural. In 1988, when Risen Star won the Preakness and Belmont Stakes, Joseph was his groom.

“You know what I’m proud of?” Joseph said. “That they even gave me a chance to be around that horse.”

Joseph, 62, said it doesn’t take much impetus to spark his sweet memories of those days and that horse.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Grade 1 winner Force the Pass was scheduled to have his second work on the comeback trail Saturday at Palm Meadows as trainer Alan Goldberg has begun plotting a return for the 4-year-old colt.

Force the Pass won the Grade 1 Belmont Derby last July 4 before finishing third in his two subsequent starts. All eight of his career starts came in a seven-month period between February and September and netted more than $1.1 million for his owner and breeder, the Colts Neck Stables LLC of Richard Santulli.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – The New York Racing Association will be matching owners’ contributions to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance in 2016, NYRA announced on Thursday.

Owners on this circuit in 2015 contributed $5 per start to the TAA, a nonprofit organization that inspects and awards grants to approved aftercare organizations to retire, retrain, and find new homes for Thoroughbreds.

In 2015, there were 17,276 starters on the NYRA circuit, resulting in $86,380 in contributions to the TAA.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Upon further review, jockey Dylan Davis might not have a torn labrum after all and could return to the saddle much sooner than originally thought.

A second MRI performed on Davis’s shoulder did not reveal a tear, according to his agent, Nick Soulis. Instead, Davis just has a sore shoulder and will undergo two weeks of physical therapy. It is possible that he could return by mid-to-late February.
