ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Breeders’ Stakes winner Danish Dynaformer did not get an ideal setup in his first try against Grade 1 company in the Northern Dancer Turf Stakes here Sept. 13, but he’ll get another chance this Sunday in the Grade 1, $1 million Canadian International, said trainer Roger Attfield.

Danish Dynaformer put in a six-furlong breeze in 1:14 last Sunday over Woodbine’s turf training track in preparation for the Canadian International.

“He worked nicely,” Attfield said. “Everything looks to be a go, so that’s the aim.”

Trainer Don Von Hemel is having a bang-up meet at Remington Park, where he won the $175,000 Governor’s Cup with Smack Smack on Aug. 15 and the $75,225 Ricks Memorial with Ghost Locket on Sept. 27. Von Hemel, who through Sunday had an 8-for-21 record at the meet, also won the track’s allowance feature Oct. 7 with Prue. This has all been achieved with an eight-horse stable and in the trainer’s ninth decade.

“At 81, I’m proud to be here,” Von Hemel said. “I don’t mind everyone knowing [my age].”

Breeders’ Cup Sprint candidate Ivan Fallunovalot is scheduled to work over the weekend at his Remington Park base, trainer Tom Howard said. It will be the horse’s first breeze since winning the $151,650 Remington Park Sprint Cup on Sept. 27.

Howard said Ivan Fallunovalot’s final work for the Breeders’ Cup will be around Oct. 25. From there, assuming he gets into the Sprint, he will ship to Keeneland for the Oct. 31 race.

“We’ll try to move over, providing everything goes as planned, a day or two after the work,” Howard said. “We might ship the 26th or the 27th.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Trainer Mike Stidham said Monday he was unsure whether Her Emmynency will race again this year following her 19-1 upset of the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup on Saturday at Keeneland.

“She might run one more time, or we might just put her up until next spring,” he said. “The filly came out of the race real well.”

Stidham was sure of one thing: This was a race to savor. It was just the third Grade 1 victory of his 36-year training career, following scores with Sutra in the 2006 Frizette and Two Altazano in the 1994 Coaching Club American Oaks.

Sunbean, a top class Louisiana-bred who has not raced since February, is set to return to the races during the Fair Grounds meet, said trainer Ron Faucheux. Fair Grounds opens its meet Nov. 19.

Sunbean emerged from a third-place finish in the $200,000 Premier Night Championship on Feb. 7 at Delta Downs with an injury, has since recovered, and is in light training in Kentucky.

Faucheux, who has an operation at Copper Crowne Training Center in Opelousas, La., will be moving horses into his Fair Grounds base Oct. 19.

Gantry, who was a powerful addition to the Fair Grounds sprint ranks following his 2011 private purchase out of New York, has been retired, according to trainer Ron Faucheux. Plans for the popular and personable 8-year-old gelding are being determined. Gantry won seven stakes for the Louisiana-based operation of Brittlyn Stable.

As someone who grew up in the sport, Shea Stuart has a respect for the commitment it takes to operate a racing stable, and as such, he waited for the right opportunity to launch his training career. That came last spring, when Stuart signed on as a private trainer for Danny Keene. The partnership has been a hit this year at Sam Houston Race Park, Lone Star Park, and now Remington Park.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Race plans for the Saturday stakes winners Dressed in Hermes and Stays in Vegas were uncertain as of Sunday morning, while plans were more defined for Mirage, who finished a troubled second to Stays in Vegas in the $101,500 Surfer Girl Stakes on turf at Santa Anita.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Big Macher has only a minor stakes win to show for his 2015 campaign, but owners Tom Mansor and Brendan Bakir and trainer Richard Baltas hope to run the 5-year-old gelding Oct. 31 in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Keeneland.

On Sunday, Big Macher worked six furlongs in 1:12.40, moving closer to a trip to Kentucky. He won his last start, the restricted Pirate’s Bounty Stakes at Del Mar on Sept. 7.

Big Macher worked in company with stablemate Little Jerry. Baltas timed Big Macher galloping out seven furlongs in “1:25 and change.”

ARCADIA, Calif. – When Beat of The Drum won an optional claimer on turf at Santa Anita on Friday, the victory was considered a milestone – the first horse from mainland China to win in the United States.

Owned by the China Horse Club, Beat of The Drum ($13.20) won Friday’s race in her fourth start in this country. An Irish-bred 5-year-old mare, Beat of The Drum began her career in England and raced twice in China in 2013 and 2014, where she was a stakes winner. She joined trainer Leonard Powell’s stable in the spring.
