ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Hobnobsnob won her comeback in an allowance race for Ontario-sired nonwinners of three, and now the two-time winner gets to compete at the same level in a longer grass event in Wednesday’s Woodbine feature.

Hobnobsnob graduated over a mile on the lawn last July, her only win from 10 starts in 2012. Following a six-month layoff, she prevailed June 1 in a front-end battle to win the aforementioned seven-furlong allowance by a neck.

Trainer Earl Barnett said he had no qualms about running Hobnobsnob out of her proper condition.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – All horses from Barn 1 were back training with the general population over the weekend and are eligible to return to the races after registering second negative tests for the equine herpesvirus.

“Wednesday would be 14 days from the last transmission event,” said Adam Chambers, manager of veterinary services for the Ontario Racing Commission. “I’m hoping we can get everyone out of jail on Wednesday.”

Chambers said several horses from other locations have been segregated here in the old Standardbred barn.

Portales, the front-running winner of the 5 1/2-furlong prep for the Chantilly Stakes on June 7, will look to hold the fort when she faces six rivals in the Chantilly itself at Assiniboia Downs on Wednesday evening.

The Chantilly, a six-furlong race for 3-year-old fillies, offers a purse of $30,000.

CYPRESS, Calif. – Five Bar Cartel remained unbeaten after three starts with a nose victory in Sunday’s $1,111,000 Ed Burke Million Futurity at Los Alamitos.

The Burke is the first of three seven-figure futurities in the Los Alamitos Bonanza. The next race in the series is the Golden State Million in November. Five Bar Cartel’s next start will be in the trials for that race, according to trainer Danny Montes.

AUBURN, Wash. – Stopshoppingdebbie remained unbeaten with a sizzling victory Sunday in the $50,000 Irish Day Handicap for 3-year-old fillies at Emerald Downs, and in running faster than males in a stakes race later in the card, she stamped herself as the fastest 3-year-old in the Pacific Northwest.

A homebred for Jerre Paxton’s Northwest Farms and co-owned by Debbie Paxton, Stopshoppingdebbie continued to live up to her flashy pedigree. She’s by Curlin from the Wild Again mare Taste the Passion, a multiple stakes winner at Emerald Downs in the late 1990s.

Sometimes it pays for a trainer to listen to a jockey.

Trainer Jeff Bonde remembered that jockey Rafael Bejarano suggested that Saint Prado ($10.80) could be a good sprinter, and when he entered the Kitten’s Joy colt in the $53,350 Livermore Valley Wine Stakes at the Alameda County Fair, he was rewarded with the colt’s first stakes victory Sunday.

Saint Prado broke alertly, but jockey Frank Alvarado let the speedy Los Tres Bohemios and South Floyd battle for the lead in the six-furlong race for 3-year-olds.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The racing week at Betfair Hollywood Park will begin Thursday with a pick-six carryover of $94,863.

Thursday’s pick six covers the third through eighth races, which do not feature large fields. The pick-six races begin with a $16,000 claimer for fillies and mares over seven furlongs that has seven runners, followed by a six-furlong maiden race on turf that has eight entrants.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Trainer Mike Puype equaled a track record when he saddled six consecutive winners from Thursday through Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Puype’s attempt to break the record ended when Moonlight Splitter finished 10th as a 5-1 shot in Sunday’s sixth race for turf maidens. The 46-year-old shares the record for the most consecutive wins at Hollywood Park with Allen Drumheller Sr., who won six straight races July 4-5, 1955.

“I expected to have a good week,” Puype said Sunday. “The entries were good, and they all had good trips.”

Lovely Syn, the undefeated New York-bred 3-year-old filly who suffered a career-ending injury at Belmont Park on Saturday, underwent successful surgery Sunday, and the hope is she can become a broodmare.

The surgery, to repair a fractured sesamoid bone in Lovely Syn’s left foreleg, was performed by Dr. Dean Richardson – who also worked on 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro – at the New Bolton Center in Pennsylvania.

There will be a pick-six carryover of $248,140 at Belmont Park on Wednesday after the wager wasn’t hit over the weekend.

There was a $71,684 carryover following Saturday’s card, and an additional $308,389 was wagered into the pool Sunday.
