ELMONT, N.Y. - In Main Sequence, trainer Graham Motion has a top-flight contender for the $3 million Breeders’ Cup Turf. Unfortunately, it appears as though he will need a new rider for his three-time Grade 1 winning colt.

One race after Main Sequence won Saturday’s $600,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Belmont Park, his rider, Rajiv Maragh, went down in the Jockey Club Gold Cup and suffered a broken right arm. Maragh underwent surgery on Sunday, but it is highly unlikely the 29-year-old rider will  be able to make it back in five weeks.

Wicked Strong, who clipped heels with Moreno and unseated jockey Rajiv Maragh during the running of Saturday’s $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park, came out of the race in good order, but may not run again this year, according to trainer Jimmy Jerkens.

"There's a chance we might give Wicked the rest of the year off,” Jerkens told the New York Racing Association publicity department. “He's okay and everything, but he's grinded it out pretty good and we hope to have a nice handicap horse next year."

ARCADIA, Calif. – Shared Belief emerged in good condition from his eventful, winning journey in the Awesome Again Stakes on Saturday, but his trainer and co-owner, Jerry Hollendorfer, on Sunday morning at Santa Anita said the hard race would likely cause him to train Shared Belief differently than anticipated prior to his next start, the Breeders’ Cup Classic here on Nov. 1.

“I guess a good, hard race isn’t ideal, but I won’t have to train him as hard as I normally do,” Hollendorfer said.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Tonalist and Zivo, the first two finishers from Saturday’s Grade 1, $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup, will both be pointed to the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, but will both do all their major preparations in New York before shipping to Southern California the week of the race, their trainers said Sunday morning.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Bill Kaplan was all smiles after training hours here Saturday morning, and well he should have been after watching several of his stable stars turn in sharp workouts over a main track that had finally dried out after a week of rain.

Trainer Gustavo Delgado’s first venture into racing in the United States certainly has been an unequivocal success. With less than two weeks to go in the meet, Delgado sits atop the standings, with Kirk Ziadie and David Fawkes as his two closest pursuers.

Delgado came to the U.S. at the behest of jockeys Javier Castellano and Junior Alvarado, who began their riding careers in Venezuela before moving on to even greater success in this country.

Private Prospect, who won his first three starts before finishing second by a nose in the Arlington-Washington Futurity, is an intended runner in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, trainer Mike Campbell said.

Two of California’s leading turf milers – Obviously and Tom’s Tribute – will pass the $200,000 City of Hope Mile on Oct. 4 and be trained to the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Mile, their trainers said on Friday.

Tom’s Tribute, trained by Jim Cassidy, won two stakes at Del Mar – the Grade 1 Eddie Read Stakes over 1 1/8 miles on turf on July 20 and the Grade 2 Del Mar Mile on Aug. 24.

Obviously, trained by Phil D’Amato, won the Shoemaker Mile at Santa Anita in June, but was only fourth in the Del Mar Mile.

“I want a nice, fresh horse for the Breeders’ Cup,” D’Amato said.

ELMONT, N.Y. – A matchup between undefeated graded stakes winners Cavorting and Condo Commando is expected to take place in next Saturday’s Grade 1, $500,000 Frizette Stakes for juvenile fillies at Belmont Park.

Cavorting, a daughter of Bernardini trained by Kiaran McLaughlin for Stonestreet Stables, is 2 for 2 with an 11-length maiden win at Belmont and a 1 3/4-length victory in the Grade 2 Adirondack Stakes at Saratoga on Aug. 10.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Saratoga Heater, who won the Bertram F. Bongard Stakes by four lengths last Sunday at Belmont Park for Lisa Lewis, is headed back to trainer Al Stall, with whom she began her career at Saratoga.

Stall said Saratoga Heater would likely be pointed to the Delta Jackpot Stakes in late November.

Stall said it had been a prearranged agreement that Saratoga Heater, who raced twice for Stall in Saratoga, would be sent to Lewis for the Bongard.
