ARCADIA, Calif. – The comeback victory by Beholder on Saturday at Santa Anita was not the most impressive of her career. It did not need to be.

Racing for the first time in 112 days, Beholder won the Grade 1 Zenyatta Stakes by three-quarters of a length to re-establish herself as a top contender for the Breeders’ Cup Distaff. Beholder earned a 99 Beyer Speed Figure.

“It’s going to put her right where she ought to be,” trainer Richard Mandella said a day later. “She looks like a million bucks. That ought to put her in perfect shape.”

Lady Eli gave trainer Chad Brown his third straight win in the Grade 3, $200,000 Miss Grillo at Belmont Park on Sunday, and Brown hopes she can give him a second win in the Grade 1, $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Santa Anita on Oct. 31.

Brown won the inaugural running of the Juvenile Fillies Turf in 2008 with Maram, who was coming off a narrow win in the Miss Grillo. Maram paid $24.20 for her win in the Juvenile Fillies Turf. Following her three-length win over 50-1 longshot Margaret Reay in the Miss Grillo, Lady Eli will be a much shorter price this year.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Itsmyluckyday, third as the 3-5 favorite in Saturday’s Grade 2 Kelso Handicap at Belmont, will not be supplemented to the Breeders’ Cup and instead will make his next start in the Grade 1 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct on Nov. 29, trainer Eddie Plesa said Monday.

Itsmyluckyday was to leave Monmouth Park by van Monday and ship to Calder, where he will train. The Cigar Mile is expected to be Itsmyluckyday’s final start before he goes to Spendthrift Farm to stand at stud.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Barbara Minshall celebrated another stakes victory in Sunday’s Classy ’n Smart Stakes at Woodbine with Strut the Course, but the 4-year-old filly’s younger half-sister Bambarra Bold also could make a name for herself in the near future.

Bambarra Bold has reeled off three straight wins in Ontario-sired allowance company, saving her best race for her most recent start over seven furlongs Sept. 17, when she won by 5 3/4 lengths and earned a 74 Beyer Speed Figure.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – U S Marshal closed to be third in the Grade 2 Summer Stakes on Sept. 13 at Woodbine and now has several options for his next start. Trainer Ian Black said U S Marshal could run in the Grade 3, $150,000 Grey Stakes for 2-year-olds here Sunday or a maiden allowance over seven furlongs on turf here Saturday. U S Marshall also could be sent to Keeneland for the Grade 3, $250,000 Bourbon Stakes on Sunday.

“We’re probably leaning toward staying here,” Black said. “I’d like to put him in a winning situation.”

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Muskoka Stakes winner Brooklynsway and runner-up Quidi Vidi appear poised for a rematch in Sunday’s Grade 3, $150,000 Mazarine Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Woodbine.

Trainer John Ross said he was pleased with Brooklynsway’s 1 1/4-length victory in the Muskoka on Aug. 27, when she sat behind horses before driving clear in the stretch.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Don’t count Rajiv Maragh out of the Breeders’ Cup just yet.

According to his agent, Tony Micallef, Maragh has been told by doctors that his broken right arm could heal in time allow him to ride in the Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita on Oct. 31-Nov.1.

“The doctor said the bone will heal in two weeks, and he wants to see him again in two weeks,” Micallef said Monday morning.

“There is a chance he could ride the Breeders’ Cup, the doctor said.”

ELMONT, N.Y. – Trainer Bob Baffert has won the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile three times. However, he is winless with four favorites in the race dating back to 1999.

That streak most certainly will be tested in this year’s $2 million Juvenile on Nov. 1, when Baffert sends out American Pharoah, who solidified his status as the Juvenile favorite with a devastatingly easy 3 1/4-length victory in Saturday’s Grade 1 FrontRunner Stakes at Santa Anita, the site of this year’s Breeders’ Cup.

Fed Biz and Sky Kingdom, who were second and last in the seven-runner Awesome Again Stakes, will start in stakes on Breeders’ Cup weekend.

Fed Biz will be pointed for the $1 million BC Dirt Mile on Oct. 31 and not the $5 million BC Classic, Baffert said.

“He answered the question,” Baffert said of a preferred race for Fed Biz.

In the Awesome Again, Fed Biz finished a neck behind Shared Belief, who had a wide trip.

Secret Circle, the winner of the Breeders’ Cup Sprint last year, worked five furlongs in 59 seconds Sunday, preparing for Saturday’s $300,000 Santa Anita Sprint Championship.

Secret Circle has not raced since finishing second in the Grade 2 Palos Verdes Stakes here last February. He was in training last spring and was rested until resuming workouts in late July.

“He looked good,” trainer Bob Baffert said of the workout. “I think he should get a lot out of it.”
