Bricklin, who ran third in the Sunland Derby, has a pair of upcoming race options at Oaklawn Park, according to his trainer, Rudy Brisset. The horse won a first-level allowance at a mile at Oaklawn before heading to New Mexico for the Sunland Derby.

Brisset said Bricklin is possible for either the Grade 1, $1.25 million Arkansas Derby on March 28 or the $200,000 Hot Springs, which is a one-mile race for 3-year-olds on March 26.

“We haven’t really made a final decision on that,” said Brisset, who is weighing options with owner Imagine Racing.

Sunland Park Derby runner-up Express Kid is scheduled to make his next start in the Grade 2, $750,000 Wood Memorial on April 4 at Aqueduct, according to his trainer, Justin Evans.

Express Kid set the pace in the $500,000 Sunland Derby and finished second by a nose in the Feb. 15 race, one start after he won the $300,000 Springboard Mile in December at Remington Park. For those efforts, he earned a total of 20 points for the Kentucky Derby.

ARCADIA, Calif. – For the fifth time in his career, California jockey Juan Hernandez won at least three stakes on the same day, on Saturday at Santa Anita.

His latest hat trick was a mix of a short-priced favorite, a massive longshot, and a mid-priced contender who could start in the Kentucky Derby.

Book’em Danno, the champion sprinter of 2025, was not entered in Friday’s Boston Handicap at Colonial Downs, so his return to the races will come in either the Carter Stakes at Aqueduct or the Commonwealth at Keeneland.

Both stakes are run at seven furlongs on April 4. The Grade 3 Commonwealth, at $350,000, is worth $50,000 more than the Grade 2 Carter.

“Whichever is the easiest of the two,” trainer Derek Ryan said. “I’ll watch the weather and stuff like that. I’ve got a couple of New York-breds that I got to bring back [to New York].”

Trainer Todd Pletcher and owner Mike Repole retired Grade 1 winners Fierceness and Mindframe following 2025, but their cupboard is not bare of talented older dirt males.

Disruptor won his first graded stakes Saturday when he beat heavily favored Disco Time in the Grade 3, $100,000 Challenger Stakes. His final time of 1:41.40 was just .20 off the track record and earned Disruptor a 102 Beyer Speed Figure.

Last month, Grande won a second-level allowance at Gulfstream Park, his third victory from four career starts and one in which he earned a 105 Beyer Speed Figure.
