She’s a Tiger, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2013, is nearing a return to trainer Jeff Bonde’s Southern California stable.

Bonde said earlier this week that he expects She’s a Tiger to be shipped from a training center in Washington to Santa Anita at the “end of the week.”

She’s a Tiger has not raced since finishing first in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita on Nov. 2. She was disqualified and placed second behind Ria Antonia for causing interference in the stretch. Ria Antonia finished a nose behind She’s a Tiger in the race.

HALLANDALE BEACH,Fla. –The post position draw for Saturday’s Grade 2 Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park elicited mixed reactions from the connections of several of the leading contenders set to compete in the first major 3-year-old test of the meet, including likely favorite Cairo Prince and the undefeated Coup de Grace.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Spellbound won her first stakes in Sunday’s Grade 2 La Canada Stakes for 4-year-old fillies at Santa Anita. She can win her first Grade 1 in the $350,000 Santa Margarita Stakes on the same track March 15.

Trainer Richard Mandella said Monday that Spellbound is unlikely to race again until the Santa Margarita, which is run over 1 1/8 miles for fillies and mares. The Santa Margarita is considered the championship race for older fillies and mares on dirt at the Santa Anita winter-spring meeting.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Sweet Reason, the Grade 1 Spinaway winner, worked a half-mile in 48.95 seconds at Belmont on Monday in company with a 4-year-old maiden New York-bred gelding, Felix.

Sweet Reason began the move about three-quarters of a length behind Felix and moved away from her workmate in the stretch, getting her final quarter in 24.23 seconds.

It was Sweet Reason’s third work since returning to training following a break after her fourth-place finish in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. It was her first in company.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Street Gent, a front-running winner of a two-turn maiden race over Aqueduct’s main track Dec. 1 for trainer Leah Gyarmati, worked a mile in 1:45.98 on Monday over the Belmont Park training track in preparation for the Grade 3 Withers Stakes here Feb. 1.

With jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. in the irons, Street Gent broke off at the wire and went the opening half-mile in an easy 55.92 seconds. Leaving the half-mile pole, Street Gent found himself mixed in with a pair of horses from another stable who broke off in front of him to work.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Following his three-quarter-length victory in Saturday’s $100,000 Evening Attire Stakes at Aqueduct, Long River has his connections considering graded stakes both near and far for the royally bred 4-year-old colt.

Among the races trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said he will discuss with Jimmy Bell, the president of Sheikh Mohammed’s Darley Stable, are the Grade 1, $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap on March 1, the Grade 3, $200,000 Razorback Handicap at Oaklawn on March 15, and the Grade 3, $150,000 Excelsior Handicap at Aqueduct on March 22.

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. – The campaign that Coup de Grace will have in the next few months will be determined by how he performs Saturday in the Grade 2, $400,000 Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Unbeaten in two starts, Coup de Grace will be making his first start around two turns in the Holy Bull. His aptitude at this endeavor will chart his course.

“I could see it going either way, but we have to try it,” said Chad Brown, who trains Coup de Grace. “To try the Kentucky Derby trail, you’ve got to try two turns, and he’s got the pedigree to suggest he can get two turns.”

OLDSMAR, Fla. – Back in the spring of 1976, Gerald Bennett bought a horse named Victoria Sun from a Kentucky horseman for $1,000. He ran the horse at Greenwood Raceway in Canada, and Victoria Sun won.

That victory was the first as a trainer for the native of Springhill, Nova Scotia, and last Friday, when the 72-year-old Bennett sent out Miss Twinkle Toes to win the nightcap, that tally marked the 3,400th career win for the veteran horseman, who now ranks 20th in career wins among North American trainers, active and retired.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Will Take Charge, who Saturday night was named champion 3-year-old of 2013, is likely to make his seasonal debut in the Donn Handicap following a sharp work in company Monday morning at Oaklawn Park. Trainer D. Wayne Lukas said the horse would shoot for the Feb. 9 race at Gulfstream Park if suitable travel arrangements could be made to Florida.

Vicar’s in Trouble came out of his romping victory Saturday in the Grade 3, $200,000 Lecomte Stakes in good condition, and if all continues to go well, he will make his next start Feb. 22 in the Risen Star Stakes at Fair Grounds, trainer Mike Maker said Sunday.
