OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Owner Jerry Jamgotchian spent $75,000 to purchase the multiple stakes-winning filly Moonlit Malibu out of the recent Keeneland November sale. He will be seeking a quick return on his investment when he runs Moonlit Malibu in Saturday’s $75,000 Garland of Roses Stakes at Aqueduct.

Moonlit Malibu and her stablemate Jelly Cable make a formidable entry in a seemingly wide-open renewal of the Garland of Roses, typically the first stakes run on the inner track. This year, the race will be run over the main track at six furlongs.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Sunday’s $125,000 Sir Barton Stakes for Ontario-sired 3-year-olds and up gained some unexpected firepower when Fifty Proof, Canada’s reigning champion older male, was supplemented at a cost of $3,000.

But Fifty Proof will be making his first start in 16 months, and he could get serious arguments from any of several rivals, including Bobcaygeon and Courtville, who both are coming into the 1 1/16-mile Sir Barton in top form.

Alsvid will be seeking his fifth stakes win of the year on Saturday, when he makes a rare start around two turns in the $150,000 Zia Park Derby. The 1 1/16-mile race jumpstarts the final week of the Zia Park meet in Hobbs, N.M.

One of the 13 horses that Mike Maker will start Saturday in the 14th annual Claiming Crown series at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., is a filly named Juanita in the Tiara.

All that Juanita has done is earn more than $500,000 and win the Grade 2 La Troienne at Churchill Downs in May.

Ciao Bella Luna will try to cement her reputation as Northern California’s top 2-year-old filly when she meets five rivals in Saturday’s $50,000-added Golden Gate Debutante on Saturday at Golden Gate Fields. A six-furlong Tapeta race for 2-year-old fillies, the Debutante drew a field of six.

STICKNEY, Ill. – A horse euthanized Monday at Hawthorne Race Course has tested positive for equine herpesvirus, becoming the fourth animal there killed by the disease and prolonging a quarantine that prohibits Hawthorne-based horses from shipping to other racing venues.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – The restrictions put on horses stabled at Hawthorne Park due to the outbreak of the equine herpesvirus will also affect Saturday’s Claiming Crown program at Gulfstream Park.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. –Trainer Mike Maker has been one of the Claiming Crown’s biggest advocates over the years. So, too, have his principal owners, Kenneth and Sarah Ramsey. On Saturday, the trio will team up to compete in all seven Claiming Crown races on Gulfstream Park’s opening-day program, including the afternoon’s main event, the $200,000 Jewel.

Saturday’s 10-race program will mark the earliest opening in Gulfstream history. The 2012-2013 meet will continue through April 5.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Mark Casse entered maiden winners Gunderman and Sky Commander in Saturday’s $150,000 Display Stakes, a 1 1/16-mile test for 2-year-olds at Woodbine which was won by last year’s divisional champion, Maritimer.

Gunderman, a son of Belmont Stakes winner Birdstone, won fourth time out in his initial venture around two turns Oct. 24.

“He split horses and showed a lot of guts,” Casse said. “He’s always trained better than he’s run. With his breeding, I think he’s going to get better.”

Flirting Song will try to show her upset in the Tri-State Futurity was not an aberration when she faces most of the opponents she beat three weeks ago in the second of two divisions of the West Virginia Futurity on Saturday night at Charles Town.

West Virginia-bred 2-year-old fillies will go seven furlongs in race 8. Two races earlier on the card, a wide-open field of West Virginia-bred 2-year-old colts and geldings will race seven furlongs in the first division. Both races are worth $50,000.
