ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Silent Treat goes back to turf in the six-furlong allowance headliner Wednesday night at Woodbine following a gutsy Polytrack allowance victory last month.

Silent Treat graduated in her second career start May 20, winning a maiden special weight race, and ran second to a sharp Lynnessa in a subsequent Ontario-sired allowance. Her first turf experience June 29 was troubled, as she was shut off between rivals in the stretch. She faded to fifth but was placed fourth via disqualification.

Dannhauser defied his 22-1 odds when he rallied to defeat 13 rivals in last fall’s Laurel Turf Cup going 1 1/2 miles. He won’t be anywhere close to double-digit odds Wednesday, when he tackles 12 furlongs on turf again in the $50,000 Cape Henlopen Stakes at Delaware Park.

Megatron Ruler, coming off a front-running win in the 5 1/2-furlong Graduation Stakes at Assiniboia Downs, looms as the horse to beat Wednesday evening in the six-furlong Osiris Stakes at Assiniboia Downs.

The $30,000 Osiris has attracted a field of six 2-year-olds.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Preakness winner Oxbow will not run again this year, and trainer D. Wayne Lukas said Monday he wouldn’t be surprised if the horse never raced again, though that is a decision to be made by owner Brad Kelley of Calumet Farm.

Oxbow suffered an ankle injury when finishing fourth in the Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park on July 28. Though Lukas said Oxbow is sound, he has not returned to training and is simply walking the shed row.

AUBURN, Wash. – For the second successive year, a brilliantly fast horse from British Columbia took the measure of some of the West Coast’s best middle-distance runners in the Grade 3, $200,000 Longacres Mile at Emerald Downs. Herbie D, the second favorite in a field of 12, set a crackling pace and refused to yield en route to a 1 1/2-length victory Sunday, while Politicallycorrect, the 9-5 favorite, never got involved and finished a distant ninth.

DEL MAR, Calif. – Halo Dolly returned to Del Mar on Sunday, and it was so nice to have her back where she belongs.

She successfully defended her title in the $150,000 Solana Beach Handicap, ran her record to 16 wins in 32 starts, and became only the fifth horse in track history to win the same stakes race for three consecutive years when scoring a half-length victory in the one-mile grass race restricted to older California-bred females.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Bluegrass Pride ($5.30) rallied from well back to win the $50,000 Richmond Derby Trial at Hastings on Sunday. His strong performance gives trainer Craig MacPherson a strong one-two punch for the Grade 3, $150,000 British Columbia Derby on Sept. 8.

On Saturday, MacPherson was at Northlands Park to saddle Reporting Star, who finished second behind Broadway Empire in the Grade 3, $200,000 Canadian Derby.

AUBURN, Wash. – E Z Kitty raced to a resounding victory Sunday in the $65,000 Emerald Distaff at Emerald Downs, taking the suburban Seattle track’s traditional championship for older fillies and mares with surprising ease.

E Z Kitty ran nine furlongs in 1:49.24 to win by 3 1/2 lengths and paid $9 as the third choice in a field of seven.

E Z Kitty, a 5-year-old by He’s Tops, a son of Seattle Slew, won for the 11th time in 21 career starts – posting her seventh career stakes victory – and easily passed her first test at 1 1/8 miles.

Cloud Harbor pulled a 20-1 upset in the $100,000 Gold Rush Futurity at Arapahoe Park on Sunday, when he tracked and pounced for a one-length win over Ima Happy Strike. It was another 6 3/4 lengths back to Da Belldozer in third.

Cloud Harbor ($43.80) invaded from New Mexico for the Gold Rush, a six-furlong race that closed out the meet at Arapahoe. He had won a maiden special weight race at Ruidoso Downs by five lengths in his only other start. Cloud Harbor was an odds-on favorite in that July 27 race.
