Lou Raffetto, a longtime industry executive who once served as the vice president of racing at Suffolk Downs for nine years, has signed on as a consultant to the New England Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association. He will assist the horsemen in their attempt to strike a deal with the owners of Suffolk that would allow live racing to return to the track in 2015.

Raffetto was introduced to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission at a hearing on Tuesday by New England HBPA president Anthony Spadea, who was accompanied by the organization's executive director, Bruce Patten.

Trainer Michael Stidham said Her Emmynency is out of the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. According to Stidham, Her Emmynency came down with colitis Sunday evening and is responding well to treatment at Chino Valley Equine Hospital in Chino Hills, Calif.

She was coming off a win in the $100,000 Surfer Girl at Santa Anita in her first start on turf, and looked like a serious contender in the Juvenile Fillies Turf, which like the Surfer Girl will be run at a mile at Santa Anita. The Grade 1, $1 million race for 2-year-old fillies will be run Oct. 31.

Hollywood Extra, a 3-year-old gelding who was part of the 2011 film “War Horse,” will begin his post-acting career in Thursday night’s fifth race at Remington Park in Oklahoma City. He is set to make his debut in a maiden special weight sprint for 3-year-olds and up bred in Oklahoma.

Hollywood Extra was cast as a young “Joey" in 2011 when he was just three weeks old, according to a release from Remington. He had not been named yet, but was given the clever moniker following his movie experience that took him from Oklahoma to Southern California.

Shotgun Kowboy and Pain and Misery were romping winners of 2-year-old stakes in Oklahoma and New Mexico last week, and are now both candidates for some of the Southwest’s most significant races for their division.

Shotgun Kowboy is headed next to the Grade 3, $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot on Nov. 22, said his breeder, owner, and trainer, C.R. Trout. The horse improved his record to 2 for 3 when he cruised to a 6 1/2-length victory in the $85,500 Oklahoma Classics Juvenile last Friday night at Remington Park. For the effort, he earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 80.

Gulfstream has received a record 5,356 stall requests for its championship meet that opens Dec. 6. The track can house 3,800 horses between Gulfstream, Gulfstream Park West, and the Palm Meadows Training Center.

East Hall, the recent Indiana Derby winner headed to the Grade 3, $200,000 Discovery at Aqueduct, is scheduled to fly from his Florida base to New York next Tuesday, Oct. 28, said trainer Bill Kaplan.

Kaplan said Luis Saez has the mount on East Hall, who could be accompanied by Naval Command.

“She’s still possible for the Tempted,” Kaplan said of Naval Command. “She’ll work this coming weekend, and if everything looks great, we’ll probably go.”

The Tempted, a Grade 3, $250,000 race at Aqueduct, is Nov. 2. The Discovery is Nov. 1.

Saturday’s victory in the Miss America Stakes may have been Luscious Lonna’s final race at Golden Gate Fields. Trainer and co-owner Nick Sloan said he does not anticipate running her next year and that he is not interested in the breeding end of the business, so he will probably sell her.

Sloan said he might run her one more time this year, possibly in Southern California.

The 6-year-old mare went gate to wire under Pedro Terrero to defeat Central Heat by three-quarters of a length in the Miss America, a 1 1/16-mile turf race.

Friday’s card at Golden Gate offers fans a pair of important prep races for upcoming stakes.

Six older sprinters being pointed to the Nov. 15 Oakland will compete at six furlongs in the third race. Streamside, who won the Oak Tree Sprint at Pleasanton, is gunning for his fourth straight victory. Trained by Sergio Ledezma, Streamside has won the last four times he has raced at six furlongs and is 9 for 16 at the distance in his career.

Eight 2-year-olds will compete at 5 1/2 furlongs in Friday’s fifth race, a prep for the six-furlong Golden Nugget on Nov. 8.

Ontrack handle declined for three recently completed race meets in Northern California: Stockton, Fresno, and Golden Gate Fields summer.

Ontrack handle on live racing at the 19-day Golden Gate meet (Aug. 15-Sept. 14) dropped 10.1 percent from last year’s meet of the same length. All-sources handle on Golden Gate races increased 4 percent. Ontrack attendance for the meet fell by more than 25 percent.

Stockton’s six-day meet (Sept. 19-28) showed a 12 percent drop in ontrack handle on live racing from last year, and a 2 percent drop in all-sources handle on Stockton races.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Tuesday proved to be a relatively quiet morning - in Southern California, at least - on the Breeders’ Cup workout front. One Lucky Dane, who is expected to join his Bob Baffert-trained stablemate American Pharoah in the Juvenile, was the only potential Breeders’ Cup starter to work at Santa  Anita, going six furlongs in company with jockey Rafael Bejarano aboard.[bc_video_id:339789:]
