Both have been winning at a high percentage lately and figure prominently in the three $60,000 stakes on Saturday’s New Jersey Thoroughbred Festival card. All 10 races on the program are devoted to New Jersey-breds.

POMONA, Calif. – The quirky veteran Luckarack, whose 37-start career has been spent going up and down the class ladder, scored the biggest win of his life Wednesday night at his favorite stomping grounds – the Los Angeles County Fair.
Luckarack and jockey Alonso Quinonez upset a good field in the $75,000 Governor’s Cup Handicap, wearing down Basmati in deep stretch and pulling away to win the sprint by 1 1/4 lengths. Grade 1 winner Drill finished 2 1/4 lengths farther back in third. Final time for 6 1/2 furlongs was 1:18.72.
ELMONT, N.Y. - When 24-1 shot Smokey Brown rallied past 2-1 favorite Gridiron Great in deep stretch of Wednesday’s 10th race at Belmont, it triggered a $539,765 pick six carryover into Thursday’s card.
Thursday’s pick six will start in race 5 - the $100,000 Spite the Devil Stakes for New York-breds - of the 10-race card and include five turf races.
The pick six was not hit either Saturday or Sunday, creating a $176,813 carryover into Wednesday’s program. An additional $638,095 was wagered into the pool on Wednesday.

Orlando Paraliticci, a Florida veterinarian, was caught on raceday in January administering an untested substance that purports to block pain to a horse trained by Jane Cibelli, leading to his ban from Tampa Bay Downs and an ongoing investigation, according to documents prepared by state investigators.
AUBURN, Wash. – Trainer Howard Belvoir has had an eventful summer at Emerald Downs. His stable star, Wasserman, capped his career with a victory at age 11 before an injury sent the 2008 Longacres Mile winner into retirement, and on Aug. 17, Belvoir was inducted into the Washington Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Dance Card won four consecutive races topped by the Grade 1 Gazelle in her 3-year-old season and appeared to be one of the more intriguing fillies and mares to watch in 2013. But ankle chips prevented Dance Card from making an impact in the distaff division this year.
On Saturday, her abbreviated 4-year-old campaign is set to launch in the Grade 2 Gallant Bloom Handicap at Belmont Park.
Although entries were taken Wednesday for a 13-race card Saturday at Charles Town that features 11 stakes, the fields for the $400,000 co-features remain in flux because of multiple horses cross-entering other six-figure events this weekend in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and New York.
The Researcher, for 3-year-olds going seven furlongs, drew a full field of 10, plus one also-eligible. The female companion to the Researcher, the seven-furlong Charles Town Oaks, attracted 10 3-year-old fillies, plus a pair of also-eligibles.
