Trainer Bob Baffert will start the multiple stakes winner Ellafitz in the $250,000 Zenyatta Stakes over 1 1/16 miles at Santa Anita, but she could be overshadowed by Amani, Include Me Out, and Switch.

Amani, who will be ridden by Bejarano, has won 10 of 13 starts, but was winless in two races at Del Mar – a troubled third behind Include Me Out in the Clement Hirsch Stakes on Aug. 4 and a sixth against males in the Pacific Classic. Amani was Chile’s top horse of 2011.

Trained by Neil Drysdale, Amani worked five furlongs in 1:00.60 at Santa Anita last Friday.

ARCADIA, Calif.-  Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert won 11 Grade 1 races in 2011. He could equal that mark as early as this weekend on the opening Saturday of the Santa Anita fall meeting.

Through Sunday, Baffert has nine Grade 1 wins this year. He will have runners in four of the five Grade 1 races at Santa Anita on Saturday, and will have favorites in two races.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario— The Chicago shipper La Tia made it tougher that it should have been when she won $153,500 La Lorgnette Stakes at Woodbine on Sunday.

La Tia set slow fractions on a clear lead in the 1 1/16-mile  route for 3-year-old fillies, and seemed headed for a comfortable score, until she ducked in and hit the rail inside the eighth pole. She regrouped, however, and went on to score by three-quarters of a length under Justin Stein.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Jockey Tyler Baze, who has not ridden since August 2011 because of substance abuse problems, began working horses at Santa Anita on Sunday, a day after having his license reinstated by Los Alamitos stewards.

Baze, who is currently undergoing residency treatment for alcoholism at a clinic in Pasadena, Calif., according to Los Alamitos stewards, is expected to resume riding in October at the Santa Anita fall meeting.

The Santa Anita meeting opens on Friday.

Saginaw won for the eighth time in his last nine starts when he held off a slow-starting Lunar Victory to win Sunday’s $85,000 Promenade All Stakes by one-half length at Belmont Park.

Stalking the pacesetting Johannesburg Smile through a sharp half-mile in 46.18 seconds, Saginaw, under David Cohen, poked a head in front at the three-eighths pole, opened up a sizeable advantage in midstretch and held off Lunar Victory to win by a half-length.

ELMONT, N.Y. - While some horsemen postponed scheduled workouts Sunday for their horses pointing to next Saturday’s stakes smorgasbord at Belmont Park, trainer Shug McGaughey went ahead as scheduled with drills for Hymn Book and Point of Entry.

Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said Alpha, who finished sixth in the Pennsylvania Derby, beaten 4 1/4 lengths by Handsome Mike, will remain under consideration for the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

 Alpha, who dead-heated for win in the Travers and who won the Jim Dandy, suffered his first loss since the Kentucky Derby.

 Jockey Ramon Dominguez told McLaughlin that Alpha’s nose was right up against the gate prior to the start of the race and he needed an assistant starter to back Alpha up a little bit.

ELMONT, N.Y. - My Miss Aurelia and Questing, separated by a head when first and second in Saturday’s Grade 1 Cotillion Stakes at Parx, are headed for a rematch in the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic at Santa Anita on Nov. 2, their connections indicated Sunday morning.

Cougarstown, the second longest shot on the board, broke alertly from the rail and led every step of the way as she captured  her stakes debut, winning the $68,250 Harvest Stakes at the San Joaquin Fair in Stockton on Saturday.

The 4-year-old Cougarstown ($38.60) claimed by trainer Keith Nations for Theresa and Edward DeNike for $32,000 in her debut May 5, 2011, at Golden Gate Fields, set brisk fractions and had plenty left in the lane as she won the six-furlong stakes for fillies and mares.

Book Review, rebounding from the only poor race of her career when she was bounced around at the start, collected her first career stakes victory in Saturday night’s $400,000 Charles Town Oaks.

The seven-furlong Oaks was the richest race on an 11-race, all-stakes card with purses totaling $685,000.

Book Review ($4.80), the favorite in a field of 10 3-year-old fillies, ran down 17-1 longshot Holiday Soiree and 5-2 second choice Beautiful But Blue in the stretch to win by 1 3/4 lengths.
