HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - A field of 10 was entered for Saturday’s Grade 3 Hal’s Hope, including the improving Strike One for trainer Brendan Walsh. Strike One, a son of Street Cry, closed out his 2013 campaign with a pair of allowance wins at Churchill Downs.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Pat McBurney was all smiles in the winner’s circle after Just Call Kenny surged to an impressive victory in Saturday’s Spectacular Bid Stakes. But the celebration was short lived.

By the time Just Call Kenny left the test barn, he was already showing signs of soreness, and the next day it was confirmed the 3-year-old had suffered a condylar fracture to his right foreleg.

CYPRESS, Calif. – Los Alamitos has canceled three days of Quarter Horse racing from Jan. 17-19 to complete the expansion of its main track for future Thoroughbred meetings, the track announced on Tuesday.

The main track is being expanded from its current circumference of five-eighths of a mile to a mile. During the week of Jan. 13, maintenance crews will join the existing track with the expanded section and blend the surface.

The expansion project began on Dec. 10 and is on schedule, track officials said last weekend. This week, the rail posts were being installed.

Despite unseasonably cold weather that saw wind-chill factors plummet into the 30s at Gulfstream on Tuesday morning, there was plenty of activity on the racetrack. Among the most notable works turned in were by Preferential, who has trained very smartly since arriving following her victory in Keeneland’s Dowager Stakes to close out her 2013 campaign, and Close It Out.

Revolutionary, who has not started since finishing fifth in the Belmont Stakes, will make his 2014 debut here at Gulfstream Park on Saturday.

Trainer Todd Pletcher said he will enter Revolutionary in an allowance race that was written back after failing to fill for Friday. It the race doesn’t go again, he will enter the multiple graded stakes winner in the Grade 3 Hal’s Hope.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Peace and Justice won first time out, bolted to the outside in his second start, then ran off to a long lead and faded in his third. Last Sunday, in start No. 4, he was dazzling, running away from a first-level allowance field on turf in a manner that suggested that stakes races are in his future. But can such an inconsistent horse be trusted?

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Reigning female sprint champion Groupie Doll arrived early Tuesday afternoon at trainer Buff Bradley’s barn at Gulfstream Park, where she will continue preparations for what will be the final start of her racing career later this winter.

Groupie Doll, the leading contender to win a second consecutive title when the 2013 Eclipse Awards are announced here Jan. 18, will be bred to Tapit following her retirement.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Blingo began his career on turf and has raced mostly on turf and synthetic surfaces during an oft-interrupted career, but a recent win at Belmont Park, coupled with strong subsequent works, has convinced trainer John Shirreffs that dirt is his preferred surface, so he will remain on dirt for the Grade 2, $200,000 San Pasqual Stakes for older horses Saturday.

ARCADIA, Calif. – It took three starts, but Kristo finally showed what all the hype was about when scoring a romping win against maidens going two turns during the fall meeting here at Santa Anita. It was the third straight race in which he was sent off at 3-5, and it followed a pair of runner-up finishes in sprints against maidens, one at Del Mar and one here.

Gold Hawk, the 3-year-old Empire Maker colt trained by Steve Asmussen who has started his career with a pair of promising wins, will make his stakes debut in the Jan. 18 Lecomte Stakes, Asmussen said Monday.

Out of Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies winner Caressing and owned by Winchell Thoroughbreds, Gold Hawk won his seven-furlong career debut Nov. 30 at Churchill by 2 1/4 lengths and came back to beat first-level allowance foes around two turns by 3 1/2 lengths on Dec. 27 at Fair Grounds.
