Laurel-based Barbara Fritchie winner Lady Sabelia has won six of her last seven starts for trainer Robin Graham. In her only recent loss, she finished third in the $77,500 Cornucopia Stakes at Parx in October following a layoff of nearly four months.

“I needed another two weeks with her for that race,” Graham said, “but she was fit enough to run, and there aren’t many races out there for her division, so we ran.”

Lady Sabelia went to the lead in the Fritchie and won comfortably by 1 1/2 lengths.

“It just looked like she was just galloping,” Graham said.

The Magna 5 will be returning in the near future with a lower minimum bet and a new name. The Magna 5 will link five races within a one-hour period from Stronach Group tracks.

The Magna 5 debuted in 2004 but has not been held since 2010. This new edition will offer races from Florida, Maryland, and California. Maryland will serve as the wagering hub, according to Sal Sinatra, general manager of the Maryland Jockey Club.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Om, who beat maidens in his second start last summer at 2, is being prepared for a comeback this spring.

Trained by Dan Hendricks, Om is expected to have his first workout of the year this week. He returned to racetrack training in early January, having been trained briefly at a local farm by Julie Adair-Stack.

“He came in looking super, like he never left,” Hendricks said.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Imperative and Cool Samurai will be longshots in the $1 million Santa Anita Handicap on March 7, the top race for older horses at Santa Anita this year.

Imperative was sixth in the $590,000 San Antonio Stakes on Feb. 7, finishing 9 1/2 lengths behind race winner Shared Belief, the favorite for the Big Cap. Imperative finished 1 1/2 lengths behind third-place finisher Hoppertunity, another candidate for the Big Cap.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Mischief Clem, the winner of the $245,000 California Cup Derby last month but seventh in the El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Fields last Saturday, is likely to race in the California-bred division in the coming months, trainer Bob Hess Jr. said.

Hess said on Monday that he may consider a Triple Crown prep race for Mischief Clem but said races such as the $200,000 Echo Eddie Stakes at 6 1/2 furlongs at Santa Anita on April 4 have appeal.

“Why not be king of the Cal-breds?” Hess said. “We have a lot of money in Cal-bred races.”

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – A field of just eight 3-year-olds, led by Holy Bull Stakes winner Upstart, was drawn Monday for Saturday’s $400,000 Fountain of Youth Stakes. The Grade 2, 1 1/16-mile Fountain of Youth is the last of eight stakes on Saturday’s card, which also features the 2015 debut of the multiple Eclipse Award winner Main Sequence in the Grade 2 Mac Diarmida.

There are fewer than 75 days to the Kentucky Derby. Now, things start to get serious.

On Monday, 10 3-year-olds were entered in the Grade 2, $400,000 Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds. The Risen Star is a second-tier qualifying race for the Kentucky Derby, offering 85 points distributed on a 50-20-10-5 basis to the top four finishers. Win on Saturday, and you’re in the 20-horse Derby.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Bayern, who has not started since winning the Breeders’ Cup Classic in November, resumed serious training with a three-furlong workout in 36.60 seconds at Santa Anita on Monday.

The workout was the first recorded exercise for Bayern since Jan. 3. He missed serious training for much of January with an abscess in a foot, trainer Bob Baffert said.

Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark., has canceled Monday’s program, according to track spokeswoman Jennifer Hoyt. The card had featured the Grade 3, $300,000 Southwest Stakes for 3-year-olds.

Oaklawn likely won't make a decision on the rescheduled date for the Southwest Stakes until Tuesday, said Hoyt. 

OLDSMAR, Fla. – Pablo Morales posted a riding triple on Saturday’s program to give the 26-year-old rider 17 wins on the meeting. He currently ranks seventh in the standings at Tampa this season and is starting to pick up steam after a slow start, but according to his agent, Mike Moran, the rider’s work ethic still is strong, and he has business with some solid stables such as John Terranova’s. The agent thinks Morales’ stats will improve even more as the meet progresses.
