Funfair, who won both of her juvenile turf sprints impressively, makes her seasonal debut against seven rival 3-year-old fillies in Sunday’s $85,000 Miss Otis overnight stakes, a six-furlong race scheduled for the inner turf.

Funfair was a decisive debut winner on this same course last July, and went to Monmouth Park a month later to win the Colleen with similar ease. She started just once more after that, when she pressed the pace and faded to sixth as the 8-5 favorite in the Presque Isle Debutante.

History is on the side of She Forgives and Docs First Fire in Sunday’s $281,100 Kindergarten Futurity for Quarter Horses at Los Alamitos.

Jaime Gomez trains She Forgives and Docs First Fire for the Dutch Masters III partnership. Together, Gomez and Dutch Masters have combined to win the Kindergarten four times. Overall, Gomez has won the first futurity of the Los Alamitos season seven times, a record he shares with the late Blane Schvaneveldt. Dutch Masters is currently tied with the late Ivan Ashment as the all-time winningest owners in Kindergarten history with four wins.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Wando Woman, who will make her seasonal debut in a $35,000 optional claimer at Hastings on Sunday, is a seasoned veteran. She has started 21 times, and among her five wins are scores in the CTHS Sales Stakes in 2010 and the Vancouver Sun and Strawberry Morn in 2011.

BALTIMORE -

Mary Russ-Tortora won one for her sister Friday at Pimlico Race Course.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Dance the Wind has found a nice spot to follow up her smart win in a first-level allowance race April 28. There is a plethora of speed to set up her strong late kick in a $35,000 optional claimer for fillies and mares that will serve as Sunday’s feature at Hastings.

The 6 1/2-furlong sprint drew nine horses and goes as race 6 on a seven-race card that begins at 1:50 p.m. Pacific.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – A second-place finish in the Santa Anita Oaks often leads to bold plans for a filly such as Iotapa. But this year, the Kentucky Oaks was just too tough.

“When it looked like the Oaks was coming up so strong, that is when I decided to go conservative,” trainer John Sadler said. “One other thing was, she only has three races. I didn’t want to throw her to the wolves.”

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Dale Romans does not dispute that if someone had cut him a deal a long time ago – that if in one glorious year his horses were to win 20 graded stakes and nearly $12 million and he would be voted the Eclipse Award for top trainer – then, yes, he would gladly accept a major downturn the following year.

“I would’ve agreed to that, sure,” he said.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Coffee Clique and Overheard, both coming off solid efforts in turf stakes in the United States, deserve serious attention in a solid field for Sunday’s Selene Stakes at Woodbine.

Coffee Clique, who is trained by Brian Lynch, and Overheard, conditioned by Malcolm Pierce, each recorded her first career victory here last fall on Polytrack and will be returning to that surface for the Grade 3 Selene at 1 1/16 miles.

Coffee Clique’s local success came in her debut last Dec. 2.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Some of the first-level allowance races held so far at the Churchill Downs spring meet have been thin, both in numbers and talent. Happily for horseplayers, the exact opposite is the case with a $52,000 sprint that goes as the ninth of 10 Sunday races.

“It looks a lot tougher than the way they’ve been coming up,” said Randy Morse.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – It was somewhat surprising that the talented but quirky Spring Venture missed out on Canadian champion 2-year-old filly honors last year to her accomplished stablemate, Spring in the Air.

Spring Venture will try to build her case for this year’s champion 3-year-old filly in Sunday’s Grade 3, $150,000 Selene Stakes. For the Canadian-breds in the field, the 1 1/16-mile event is a prep for the June 9 Woodbine Oaks, for which Kentucky-bred Spring Venture is ineligible.
