LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Gentlemen’s Bet might well be headed for the Grade 1 Cigar Mile in New York, setting up the possibility of an intriguing clash with Goldencents and Golden Ticket, the one-two finishers in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile last weekend.

Gentlemen’s Bet also raced at Santa Anita last weekend, carrying an open lead past the furlong pole before settling for third in the six-furlong BC Sprint. Trainer Ron Moquett is interested to see how the 4-year-old colt will fare with a bit more distance.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The partnership that owns Goldencents, winner of the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita on Nov. 1, has been reduced from four partners to two, and the 3-year-old will start in the $500,000 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct on Nov. 30.

Owner Glenn Sorgenstein said Thursday that he and partner Josh Kaplan have privately purchased the ownership shares of Dave Kenney and Rick Pitino, the University of Louisville basketball coach. The four men owned Goldencents through the BC Dirt Mile.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Rookie Sensation, the winner of the Grade 2 Twilight Derby on Nov.  1, and Eblouissante, a half-sister to Zenyatta who sold for $2.1 million at Keeneland on Tuesday, will be among trainer John Shirreffs’s high-profile runners at the Santa Anita winter-spring meeting next year.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Centralinteligence could return to racing after undergoing surgery for a condylar fracture suffered Nov. 1 in the BC Dirt Mile, trainer Ron Ellis said.

Centralinteligence was eased in the BC Dirt Mile after racing in seventh for the first half of the race. He was vanned off and underwent surgery to have two stabilizing pins inserted in his right front leg over the weekend. The gelding was back at Ellis’s barn at Hollywood Park on Wednesday.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - New Year’s Day, the winner of the BC Juvenile, will not race again this year, trainer Bob Baffert said.

“I’ll freshen him up,” Baffert said. “I want to have him ready for the classics.”

New Year’s Day won his stakes debut in the BC Juvenile, closing from eighth in a field of 13 to catch 5-2 favorite Havana in the final furlong. New Year’s Day won the race over 1 1/16 miles by 1 1/4 lengths. Owned by Gary and Mary West, New Year’s Day beat maidens Aug. 31 at Del Mar in his second start, having finished third there in his debut on Aug. 17.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – It’s been a solid season for the barn of trainer Nick Gonzalez, which recently surpassed the $2 million earnings mark for the sixth time in the past seven years.

“We didn’t really win as many races as we wanted to,” Gonzalez said in his office here Wednesday morning. “But you’ve got to be happy when you win a Queen’s Plate, with Midnight Aria, and watch River Seven finish second in the other two Triple Crown races.”

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Game On Dude, ninth as the favorite in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Santa Anita last Saturday, may not be done racing this year.

Trainer Bob Baffert said earlier this week that Game On Dude will be considered for the $500,000 Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs on Nov. 29. The Grade 1 Clark is run over 1  1/8 miles on the main track.

“The Dude will let me know if he’s up for it,” Baffert said. “It’s a race of interest.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A few days after getting nada at the Breeders’ Cup, Ken Ramsey was still licking his wounds at his farm just outside of Lexington.

“It was kind of what like Caesar said over there in Rome,” said Ramsey. “‘Veni, vidi, non-vici – I came, I saw, and I got my ass kicked.”

Ramsey and his wife, Sarah, had more starters than any other owners on the two-day Breeders’ Cup program at Santa Anita last weekend, and the best any of their six horses could muster was a third-place finish by heavily favored Bobby’s Kitten in the Juvenile Turf.

Tiz Flirtatious, who was sixth in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf, is expected to stay in training in 2014, and could start in the $250,000 Matriarch Stakes at a mile on turf on Dec. 1.

Tiz Flirtatious won the Grade 1 Rodeo Drive Stakes at Santa Anita in September. In November 2012, Tiz Flirtatious was second in the Matriarch Stakes in her first start in a Grade 1.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Shared Belief, a Candy Ride gelding who won his debut at Golden Gate Fields on Oct. 19, was recently acquired by trainer Jerry Hollendorfer on behalf of a partnership, and will start in Sunday’s $100,000 Hollywood Prevue Stakes at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Shared Belief joined Hollendorfer's stable in late October, and has worked twice at Hollywood Park. Tuesday, Shared Belief worked six furlongs in 1:13.20.
