Jermaine Bridgmohan relocated here last summer with an eye toward making the Woodbine meeting a regular part of his riding future. And while Bridgmohan compiled a very respectable record of 29-26-18 from 168 mounts, winning with 17 percent of his starters and earning more than $1 million in purse money, he did so while riding solely for American owners, and his immigration status remains unchanged heading into the 2013 meeting.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Procurement may have finished second in the Pasadena Stakes at Santa Anita on March 29, but the 3-year-old must do more to earn accolades from trainer Tom Proctor.

“I don’t know if he’s a top horse, but I think he’ll be a nice horse,” Proctor said.

Procurement can enhance his reputation when he starts as the favorite in Sunday’s $70,000 La Puente Stakes for 3-year-olds over 1 1/8 miles on turf at Santa Anita.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Trainer Terry Jordan is back in British Columbia on a permanent basis after six very successful years racing in Ontario, where he won 146 races at Woodbine and the horses he trained earned $5.8 million.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Dylan Davis, the 19-year-old youngest child of famed retired jockey Robbie Davis, picked up the fifth win of his short riding career in piloting Skylander to victory in the second race at Keeneland on Friday. Per racing rules, with his fifth victory his weight allowance as an apprentice was reduced from 10 pounds to 7.

Davis rode like a veteran in winning aboard Wesley Ward-trained Skylander ($8.60), confidently bringing him from off the pace to win under a hand ride in a race for $20,000 3-year-old claimers. The win was his first at Keeneland.

With an eye toward some of the more prestigious one-turn races in the 3-year-old filly division this summer, Kauai Katie will drop down in class when she returns from a three-month layoff in Sunday’s $75,000 Road Princess Stakes at Aqueduct.

The Road Princess, scheduled for seven furlongs, is the closing-day feature of Aqueduct’s six-month meet. Racing on this circuit moves to Belmont Park on Friday.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Gary Boulanger was the toast of the town here back in 2001, winning the Queen’s Plate and Woodbine Oaks aboard Canada’s champion 3-year-old filly, Dancethruthedawn.

Boulanger, after winning 153 races for earnings of more than $9 million in two campaigns here, did not return the following season, however, saying his move home to southern Florida was a “family decision.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. – There is a temptation to believe that, because of injuries and age, Successful Dan is not the same horse he once was.

Perhaps that is true. But one look at his perfect record over the Polytrack surface at Keeneland, and selling Successful Dan short when the 7-year-old gelding returns to racing Sunday would seem a risky stance indeed.

Successful Dan has never lost in four tries at Keeneland, a record that surely makes him the horse to beat when he breaks from post 1 in the Grade 3, $150,000 Ben Ali Stakes, the eighth of nine Sunday races.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Pineapple looks like the one they will have to catch and beat in a $15,000 claiming race for 3-year-old fillies that will serve as Sunday’s feature at Hastings. The six-furlong sprint drew seven horses and goes as race 7 on an eight-race card that begins at 1:50 p.m. Pacific.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario — Going strictly by the company lines, the speedy Black Hornet stands out in Sunday’s $150,000 Woodstock Stakes, an open six-furlong test for 3-year-olds at Woodbine.

Black Hornet made each of his three starts last fall. He rallied wide to beat $40,000 maidens traveling six furlongs in his Oct. 8 opener. About a month later, he earned a big 85 Beyer Speed Figure when a front-running second in a six-furlong allowance won by Clearly Now, who went on to take the Grade 3 Swale Stakes at Gulfstream.

OPELOUSAS, La. - Evangeline Downs was forced to cancel it final three races Thursday night after a power outage struck the plant just before 9 p.m. local time.

The eighth race of the 11-race program had just gone official when what was believed to be a transformer failure plunged the facility into total darkness. Multiple units of the Opelousas fire department responded. There were no reports of injury to either humans or horses. There were also no immediate plans to make up the cancelled races.
