ETOBICOKE, Ontario — Barefoot Lady was shipping in from England below the radar when she won the Grade 2 Canadian Handicap over 1 1/8 miles of turf at odds of 7-1 here at Woodbine on Sept. 16.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Shintoism looks like the one to beat in a first-level allowance race that will serve as Saturday’s feature at Hastings. The 6 1/2-furlong sprint attracted seven 3-year-olds and goes as the eighth race on the second-to-last day of live racing at Hastings this year.

Prospective, a five-time stakes winner who in his most recent start finished fifth in the $400,000 Oklahoma Derby, will be considered for the Grade 1, $400,000 Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs on Nov. 23, said trainer Mark Casse. Prospective’s wins this year include the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby and Grade 3 Ohio Derby.

“I don’t have specific plans for him, but maybe the Clark,” Casse said Wednesday.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Flashpoint, a multiple graded stakes-winning 3-year-old sprinter of 2011 who was retired last fall, is on the comeback trail.

Flashpoint, a son of Pomeroy, won the Grade 2 Hutcheson at Gulfstream and the Grade 3 Jersey Shore at Monmouth last year. Following a fourth-place finish as the favorite in the Grade 3 Phoenix at Keeneland last October, Flashpoint was retired because of a torn suspensory ligament.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Regardless if he ever won a race, just getting to the starting gate was a victory in itself for Candy Feat.

On Friday, Candy Feat, a 3-year-old son of Hard Spun, goes for his second consecutive victory in a first-level allowance that goes as race 8 at Belmont Park.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Silentio needs a start on turf at Santa Anita on Friday to remain on course for the $250,000 Hollywood Derby at Betfair Hollywood Park on Nov. 25.

Undefeated in two starts, Silentio is part of a field of nine in an optional claimer over 1 1/8 miles on turf. Earlier this week, trainer Gary Mandella said Silentio is approaching Friday’s race in good condition, but that he was concerned about the weather. Rain is expected Thursday, and there is a possibility that Friday’s race could be shifted to the main track.

Alternation on Wednesday was “unlikely” to advance to the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic after finishing sixth in last weekend’s Grade 2, $500,000 Hawthorne Gold Cup, said trainer Donnie Von Hemel. The horse was still in Chicago as of Wednesday, and Von Hemel said no plans for him have been set, including with regard to the BC Classic at Santa Anita on Nov. 3.

“Unlikely is probably as far as I would go right now,” Von Hemel said of Alternation’s status for the Classic. “We do not have any plans at all right now.”

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The New Jersey Thoroughbred racing season concludes where it began – at the Meadowlands Racetrack for eight all-turf cards.

The circuit began at the Big M in May before shifting to Monmouth Park for the core meet. Now it’s back to the Meadowlands on Friday afternoon for a six-race program starting at 2:15 p.m. Eastern.

ARCADIA, Calif. – After three trips for major stakes in the East and Midwest, including an eighth in the Kentucky Derby, Rousing Sermon returns to the site of his biggest win for Saturday’s $175,000 California Cup Classic at Santa Anita.

Rousing Sermon is looking for his first win of the year and first since the 2011 Cal Cup Juvenile.

“He’s been consistent,” trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said. “He hasn’t won, but we’ve run him in some pretty tough spots.”

Owned by Larry and Marianne Williams, Rousing Sermon is a winner of 2 of 13 starts and $477,000.

MIAMI – Joshua’s Comprise has kept a busy schedule since launching his career on April 22 and will have won just once in 11 starts entering Saturday’s In Reality Stakes. But the stretch-running homebred still figures to be among the favorites when he faces nine other 2-year-old colts and geldings in the final leg of the open division of the 2012 Florida Stallion Stakes.
