DEL MAR, Calif. – She has a perfect record after three starts, comes from a top stable, and will be ridden by the leading jockey.

Executiveprivilege seems to have everything in her favor going into Saturday’s $300,000 Del Mar Debutante for 2-year-old fillies.

At stake is a chance to enhance her status as a top contender for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Santa Anita on Nov. 2. But that race was not foremost on trainer Bob Baffert’s mind earlier this week – at least not publicly.

Spice Swirl moves into open company as she seeks a second straight stakes win and her fourth victory of the season when she heads a field of 10 older fillies and mares going 6 1/2 furlongs in the $10,000 Bill Callihan Stakes on Saturday night at Columbus.

Fair Grounds in New Orleans, which evacuated its backstretch Sunday and canceled this week’s racing because of Hurricane Isaac, sustained minimal damage in the storm, officials said Thursday. But the track was still determining whether or not the logistics will work to make up the four lost dates for Quarter Horses.

A competitive field of nine Ohio-bred fillies and mares will meet Saturday in the $50,000 Rose DeBartolo Memorial Stakes, which should make for one of the most interesting stakes of the Thistledown season.

Trainer Pat Devereux Jr. has gone out of his way to run a horse in his native Kentucky just once in the last 10 years, and that horse, How Pleasant, was a maiden-special winner at the 2012 spring meet at Keeneland. Devereux, based at the Evangeline training center in Lafayette, La., will be back for seconds on Saturday at Ellis Park in western Kentucky with a mare named Bella Medaglia, one of the main contenders in the feature race.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – In late summer and early fall of 2011, Stay Thirsty and To Honor and Serve were the toast of the 3-year-old division. Stay Thirsty had just won the Jim Dandy and Travers at Saratoga, while To Honor and Serve won the Pennsylvania Derby after romping in a Saratoga allowance.

Mucho Macho Man, meanwhile, was out of sight and out of mind, vacationing after a grueling and unsuccessful bid in all three Triple Crown races.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Roxy Gap, the leading candidate for Canadian champion female sprinter honors this year, will go back to the Polytrack Saturday in the Grade 3, $150,000 Seaway Stakes at Woodbine.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Mike Keogh had plenty of options this weekend for Ultimate Destiny, who was nominated to three stakes here at Woodbine.

First up was Sunday’s $125,000 Vice Regent, a one-mile turf race for Ontario-sired 3-year-olds. Having been purchased for $16,000 at the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society’s select local yearling sale, Ultimate Destiny also could have raced in the $125,000 Elgin for Ontario-sired 3-year-olds and upward over 1 1/16 miles of Polytrack or in the $125,000 Halton for 3-year-olds and upward over one mile of turf.

Gone in a Flash will appreciate the move back to a sprint when he runs in the $50,000 Sun Sprint Championship at Northlands Park on Saturday. The 6 1/2-furlong race headlines a nine-race card that also includes the $50,000 Birdcatcher for 2-year-old colts and geldings.

DEL MAR, Calif. – An upset win by the 47-1 first-time starter Double Ante in Wednesday's fifth race has led to a pick-six carryover of $93,491 for Thursday's nine-race program at Del Mar.

Going into Wednesday's final race, only one horse was covered in the pick six – the 7-1 shot Johan. He finished sixth after racing in fourth in early stretch. The final race was won by My Dark Vada ($83.80).
