DEL MAR, Calif. – Judy the Beauty, Reneesgotzip, and Santa Anita Oaks winner Fashion Plate are among the prospective field for the Grade 3, $150,000 Rancho Bernardo Handicap on Sunday at Del Mar.

Judy the Beauty has not raced since finishing fourth in the Humana Distaff at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Day, May 3. Prior to that, she won the Grade 1 Madison at Keeneland on Polytrack. She owns five wins in six starts on synthetic surfaces.

Reneesgotzip is making her first start since Nov. 2, when she finished in a dead heat for second in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint.

Molly Morgan, the winner of the Grade 3 Gardenia at Ellis Park last Saturday, is being pointed for the Grade 1 Spinster at Keeneland on Oct. 5, trainer Dale Romans said Wednesday.

The Spinster, a Win and You’re In prep race for the Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Santa Anita on Oct. 31, is among the most prestigious races for fillies and mares in Kentucky and could reveal whether she fits in the Breeders’ Cup. This fall, the Spinster will be contested on Keeneland’s new dirt track, which is being laid down this summer, replacing its synthetic Polytrack surface.

The 19-day summer meeting at Golden Gate Fields opens with a new version of the pick six. The Stronach Group-owned track will debut the 20-cent wager when the track opens Friday.

Gulfstream Park, Golden Gate’s sister track in Florida, unveiled the wager at its meet earlier this year, and the Oak Tree at Pleasanton meet also offered the wager. The Golden Pick 6, offered daily on the final six races on the card, is a jackpot-style wager paid out if there is only one winning ticket with all six winners.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Post positions won’t be assigned until Wednesday, but entries for the four major Saturday stakes at Arlington Park were taken Tuesday, and all the pre-entered horses are expected to run.

The Million has Finnegans Wake, Hardest Core, Magician, Real Solution, Side Glance, Smoking Sun, and Up With the Birds.

Alterite, Emollient, Euro Charline, I’m Already Sexy, Just The Judge, La Tia, Somali Lemonade, Sparkling Beam, Stephanie’s Kitten, Street of Gold, and Tannery are in the Beverly D.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Wayne Catalano was to be discharged from St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates, Ill., on Tuesday afternoon following a 22-day stay there to treat a severe case of influenza and pneumonia.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – The first time Bill Mott won Arlington’s Secretariat Stakes, the race was at Hawthorne.

It was 1985, the summer the Arlington grandstand burned to the ground. Mott, then 32, was in his sixth year as a head trainer, and he had his string stabled in Chicago.

“We shipped over to Hawthorne to run,” Mott said. “I think we might have had a few stalls over there, too.”

At first glance, String King might seem to be of humble bloodlines as the son of a $1,500 stallion and a mare who won her maiden for a claiming price of $15,000. But dig a little deeper and his pedigree taps into one of the great dynasties of the turf.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Sea Queen, the runner-up in the Grade 1 Belmont Oaks last month, was sent by plane Tuesday from Albany, N.Y., to Southern California, where she will run in Saturday’s Grade 1, $300,000 Del Mar Oaks. She also was nominated to Saturday’s Grade 2, $300,000 Lake Placid Stakes here.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Competitive Edge, the most impressive 2-year-old maiden winner of the Saratoga meet, worked four furlongs in 47.81 seconds Tuesday morning over Saratoga’s main track. It was his first breeze since he won his debut by 10 1/4 lengths here on July 26.

Competitive Edge is pointing to the Grade 1 Hopeful Stakes here on Sept. 1.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Rare is the racehorse whose running style switches from one extreme to the other.

Rarer still is one to make such a transformation at the Grade 1 level, but that’s exactly what has occurred with Somali Lemonade, a former come-from-behinder who is now a grinder – and a far greater success – on the front end.
