LOUISVILLE, Ky. – One can only assume that the local consignment and thrift shops have been besieged with young folks bent on nostalgia. After all, scoring a retro outfit that reflects “The Golden Era” of the 1920’s will be some kind of cool Saturday evening, when the only Downs After Dark program of the Churchill Downs fall meet will be run before a festive crowd expected to approach 20,000.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – In more desperate times, Churchill Downs racing officials might have been tempted to split the Commonwealth Turf into divisions. The Saturday race drew 18 entries, which would have made for a couple of tidy nine-horse races, if in fact there was such a need.

Goldencents and Know More played runner-up to Shanghai Bobby and Power Broker in Grade 1 stakes on separate coasts this fall. Saturday, Goldencents and Know More, both from the barn of Kentucky Derby-winning trainer Doug O’Neill, will meet for the first time in the Grade 3, $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot.

“I look for big efforts from both of them,” said O’Neill. “Both colts are extremely talented, and the great thing is they won’t conflict with each other because they’ve got contrasting styles.”

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Since being claimed for $20,000 in March, Maui Mark has earned owners Mike Carter and Charles Galea $141,018 in five starts.

The earnings can move even closer to $200,000 if Maui Mark can win his second consecutive stakes in Saturday’s $75,000 On Trust Handicap for California-breds at Betfair Hollywood Park. In his last start, the 7-year-old Maui Mark won his first stakes in his 26th career start in the California Cup Sprint over six furlongs at Santa Anita on Oct. 13.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Blue Heart returns from a layoff Saturday at Woodbine in the $150,000 Jammed Lovely Stakes, and has been working bullets in preparation for the seven-furlong sprint for Ontario-bred 3-year-old fillies.

Blue Heart, trained by Brian Lynch, was one of the leading 2-year-old fillies at Woodbine last year. She got a late start to her 2012 campaign because of bone bruising, which forced her to miss the Woodbine Oaks, but she was victorious in the second leg of the Canadian Triple Tiara, the $250,000 Bison City Stakes on the Polytrack.

Rose to Gold earned a shot at top-class competition last month after winning the first two starts of her career by 26 lengths. But an experiment in the Grade 1 Alcibiades went awry and has left Rose to Gold seeking a return to form Saturday in the Grade 3, $500,000 Delta Downs Princess.

Deniro’s Saint will try to repeat her performance of two weeks ago when she attempts to defeat a compact field of Ohio-accredited 2-year-olds in the $50,000 Ohio Freshman at Beulah Park on Saturday.

Trained by Joe Faulkner, Deniro’s Saint destroyed a field of Ohio-accredited 2-year-old fillies by 24 lengths in the Glacial Princess at Beulah on Nov. 3. That victory was at the same six-furlong distance as the Ohio Freshman.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Don MacRae visited Woodbine’s stakes winner’s circle for the first time in the summer of 2010 after sending out Hooh Why to capture the Grade 3 Seaway.

That was the one and only time that Hooh Why would run under the name of MacRae, however, as he basically was deputizing for the barnstorming Mark Hoffman, co-owner and sometime trainer of that durable 6-year-old mare.

Bettors chasing Wednesday’s two-day pick 6 carryover of $89,489 found it to be easy pickings early and tough sledding late.

Praetorian Guard ($5.80) and Sportswriter ($2.40) kept most tickets alive through the first two legs, followed by the harder-to-have Star Black ($22.80), Royal Sighting ($9.10) and What’s the Record ($8.50). But the missing link was Noosh’s Tale ($111.50), who rallied from off the pace under apprentice Keiber Coa to win the finale.

The winning combination of 8-2-3-4-9-2 paid $126,543; the 5 of 6 consolation paid $395.

The feature race comes early on Friday at Aqueduct, when five New York-bred fillies and mares clash going a mile in the $80,000 Chase the Dream overnight stakes, carded as race 2.
