HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Wildcat Red, who has not started since finishing 18th in the Kentucky Derby, worked five furlongs in 1:02.56 over a muddy track shortly after the renovation break Sunday morning at Gulfstream Park. The Hutcheson and Fountain of Youth winner will launch the second half of his 3-year-old campaign here Saturday in the $75,000 Quality Road Stakes.

The 3-year-old stakes winners Can the Man and Dance With Fate recorded fast workouts on Saturday in advance of expected appearances in stakes on July 5.

Can the Man, who won the Grade 3 Affirmed Stakes at Santa Anita on June 7, worked five furlongs in 58.80 seconds, the fastest of 49 works at the distance. Trainer Bob Baffert said the $500,000 Los Alamitos Derby over 1 1/8 miles on July 5 is a goal for Can the Man, who races for Kaleem Shah.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Bad Read Sanchez became the latest winner for the hot freshman sire Warrior’s Reward and may have earned his way into a 2-year-old stakes at Los Alamitos in July with an easy win in a maiden race at Santa Anita on Friday.

Ridden by Mario Gutierrez, Bad Read Sanchez ($6.80) fought for the lead with Masters Circle for the first half-mile and pulled away in the final furlong to win by 10 lengths over Red Button, who closed from last. Masters Circle faded to finish fourth in a field of eight.

ELMONT, N.Y. - The New York stewards fined trainer Mike Maker $2,500 for bringing General a Rod to the assembly barn late prior to the June 7 Belmont Stakes.

It was determined by the stewards that Maker violated a New York Racing Association house rule that states: “All horses must report to the assembly barn no less than 45 minutes prior to their designated post time. TC02 testing will take place in assembly barn before horses are escorted to paddock. A fine or scratch may be issued by the NYRA steward if horses are late to assembly barn.”

AUBURN, Wash. – It’s been 14 months since Gallyn Mitchell suffered a massive heart attack, splayed out on his front porch, near death, clutching his chest and screaming for help. These days, every live mount is a blessing, says the 51-year-old jockey, whose improbable comeback continues Sunday when he rides Del Rio Harbor in the Coca-Cola Handicap at Emerald Downs.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The $500,000 Gold Cup at Santa Anita on June 28 will have a South American flavor.

While Game On Dude will be favored to win his ninth Grade 1 race and 15th stakes, the field will include the Chilean import Salto del Indio and possibly Lideris from Peru.

Salto del Indio, now trained by Mike Puype, will have his final workout for the Gold Cup on Sunday at Santa Anita. Brice Blanc has been booked to ride, according to Billy Koch, the managing director of the Little Red Feather syndicate that owns the 4-year-old Salto del Indio.

Jockey Richard Eramia is dominating the riders’ standings at Louisiana Downs, but the race for leading trainer is not so clear cut almost two months into the season. Ron Faucheux, who is winning races at a 61 percent clip, leads the standings with 17 wins, while it is one back to both Joey Foster, the defending training champ, and Jonas Gibson.

All three trainers won a race on the eight-race program Thursday, and each has horses entered Sunday.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Corey Lanerie, who will finish as the leading rider at this spring’s Churchill Downs meeting, will spend the summer riding in New York. He will be represented by agent Bill Castle.

Lanerie is scheduled to begin riding July 4 at Belmont – a week after the Churchill meet closes – then spend the summer in Saratoga, a meet that begins July 18.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Commander could be leaving his cozy confines at Northlands Park to take a shot Aug. 24 in the Grade 3, $200,000 Longacres Mile at Emerald Downs. If he does, it will bring a sigh of relief to the connections of the horses in the older handicap division at Northlands.

Over the last three years, Commander has won nine of his 10 starts in Edmonton, and despite packing 125 pounds in his most recent win in the Spangled Jimmy Handicap, he couldn’t have won any more easily.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Caroline Thomas, who won a third-level allowance race here June 15, could make her next start July 19 in the Grade 1, $500,000 Diana Stakes at Saratoga, trainer Barclay Tagg said Friday.

Caroline Thomas rallied from off the pace to beat a quality field by 2 1/2 lengths under apprentice Taylor Rice. It was the first win for Caroline Thomas since she was elevated to first by the stewards in last year’s Grade 2 Lake Placid Stakes at Saratoga. The Diana, like the Lake Placid, is run at 1 1/8 miles.
