The eighth and final Breeders’ Cup Win and You’re In race at this 17-day fall meet will be run Thursday, when a full field of 2-year-old fillies goes postward in the Grade 3, $150,000 Jessamine Stakes.

Kitten’s Point, Oscar Party, and Always Kitten look like the top contenders among the 13 fillies in the 1 1/16-mile Jessamine, including one also-eligible. The winner gets an expenses-paid trip to the Nov. 2 BC Juvenile Fillies Turf.

Keeneland racing secretary Ben Huffman said there is one notable defection from the list of invitees for the sixth and last Grade 1 race of the meet, the $400,000 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup on Saturday. Lady of Shamrock will not make the trip from California as originally hoped, Huffman said.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Forte dei Marmi and Kissable, both trained here by Roger Attfield, breezed five furlongs in company on the main turf course here Monday morning in preparation for Canadian International Day engagements on Sunday.

Forte de Marmi’s target is the $1.5 million Canadian International, a 1 1/2-mile race for 3-year-olds and up, while Kissable is heading to the $1 million E.P. Taylor, a 1 1/4-mile race for fillies and mares.

Average daily handle figures for Monmouth Park were down considerably during this year’s 65-day meet despite a large increase in average daily attendance, according to figures released by the track on Sunday.

In part, Monmouth Park officials attributed the drops in all-sources and ontrack handle to fewer races held each day this year because of the addition of four Thursday cards with seven races each. Average field size at the track this year was down only slightly, the officials said.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – It’s not all that often that expectations are exceeded the way that Wise Dan and Groupie Doll did in their victories on the opening FallStars Weekend at Keeneland.

But both were spectacular in capturing their respective races as heavy favorites Saturday, pretty much clinching favoritism in their upcoming races in the Nov. 2-3 Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – The aptly named Run to the Bank has earned more than $100,000 this year, all for owner/trainer Nick Nosowenko. He will try to add to that total Wednesday night at Woodbine in the lone non-claiming race on the card, a $20,000 starter allowance.

Run to the Bank has registered four wins from nine starts at the meet. He commenced his campaign with a victory over $10,000 maidens April 7 and subsequently defeated $20,000 nonwinners-of-two opposition with an 84 Beyer Speed Figure.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – River Seven was a maiden coming into last Sunday’s $224,800 Grey Stakes, in which the undefeated Uncaptured was a heavy favorite. But when the dust cleared following the running of the Grey and a claim of foul by Uncaptured’s rider, Patrick Husbands, it was River Seven in the winner’s circle and the favorite ending 4 1/4 lengths back in fifth.

River Seven, an Ontario-foaled gelding, turned the tables on the Kentucky-bred Tesseron, who had left him a half-length back in second place in a mile and 70-yard maiden race here Sept. 3.

Someplace Else worked out a stalking trip after breaking from the rail Sunday at Zia Park, when she rallied for a 3 3/4-length win over Cali Baby in the $60,000 Chaves County. The one-mile race for fillies and mares was canceled last week due to heavy rains, but brought back on a Sunday card that included three other stakes, all for Quarter Horses.

Obviously, the winner of Saturday’s Grade 2 Arroyo Seco Mile, will be nominated to the Breeders’ Cup program at a cost of $100,000 with a start in the BC Mile on Nov. 3 as a goal.

Obviously was not nominated to the Breeders’ Cup during the summer at a time when he could have been made eligible for $50,000. Instead, owners Anthony Fanticola and Joseph Scrardino opted to wait to make the investment.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Amazombie will undergo precautionary health tests in coming days after finishing fourth as a heavy favorite in Saturday’s $250,000 Santa Anita Sprint Championship.

Co-owner and trainer Bill Spawr said that Amazombie remains on course for the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Sprint here on Nov. 3, a race he won at Churchill Downs last year.

“He’s a little tired,” Spawr said. “He didn’t eat much. He didn’t put in that run that he usually does.
