OCEANPORT, N.J. – Inspired will be the one catch in the $60,000 Klassy Briefcase Stakes on Sunday at Monmouth Park – if she runs.

Trainer Allen Iwinski is carefully weighing his options for the 5-year-old following her win in the Fort Monmouth Stakes last month. Inspired could turn up next weekend in the $100,000 Jennie Wade Stakes, a race she won by a neck over Bounding Bi last year. Or it could be a return engagement at Monmouth in the Klassy Briefcase for fillies and mares at 5 1/2 furlongs on the turf.

OMAHA, Neb. – A pair of past winners of the Omaha Stakes and a host of new ship-ins will close out the summer festival of racing at Horsemen’s Park on Sunday when a cast of eight older horses will go one mile in the $30,000 Omaha.

The closing-day feature is slotted as the last of six races on Sunday and features the 2009 and 2010 winners of this race, Orientate Express and Tenth Power.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – One morning earlier this summer trainer Mike Stidham pulled a proud papa act. But the mobile-phone photograph he showed off – beaming almost giddily – to a visitor wasn’t of one of his children. It was Willcox Inn pictured on the display, bay coat radiant, frame bursting with muscle.

Spice Swirl returns to defend her title against her younger sister as a field of five older Nebraska-bred fillies and mares go one mile in the $27,500 Falls Amiss Handicap at Horsemen’s Park.

Spice Swirl and Sookie’s Kookies are homebred half-sisters out of the Miracle Heights mare Shesaidsheknowsya, and they are owned by Roger and Barb Luebbe’s Shady Bend Thoroughbreds. The pair will go uncoupled in the wagering for trainer Brian Roberts as a trend of short statebred fields continues through the oppressive heat of this summer in Nebraska.

Jockey Anthony Lovato, for years one of the top riders in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, has his first mount since 2010 in the second race Saturday at Louisiana Downs.

Love Dare, twice victorious in allowance company and second in the Opelousas Stakes in her three starts this summer, should rule as the public’s choice when she takes on nine rivals in Saturday night’s Matron Stakes at Evangeline Downs. The headliner carries a $50,000 purse and will be run at a mile over the turf.

Silk Spinner has a chance to prove he’s the new boss of the Massachusetts-breds on Saturday when he makes his 2012 debut in the $50,000 Rise Jim Stakes at Suffolk Downs.

[bc_video_id:257618:]David Donk thought seriously about waiting to run Zultanite in the Grade 2 Lake George at Saratoga on Wednesday, but “those waters are pretty deep,” the 52-year-old trainer said.

Instead, Donk opted to ship Zultanite south to the Richmond, Va., area, where on Saturday night the filly will be the one to beat in the Grade 3, $150,000 Virginia Oaks at Colonial Downs.

Bridgetown returns to his favorite turf course Saturday, when he heads an eight-horse field set to contest 5 1/2 furlongs in the $100,000 Willard Straight, the first race on the 11-race card.

Bridgetown, a 5-year-old son of Speightstown, is 3 for 3 at Saratoga, winning one turf sprint a year here since 2009. Last August, he won the Troy Stakes by 6 3/4 lengths, but did not run for the remainder of the year.

Midnight Crooner and My Best Brother won divisions of the Oceanside Stakes on Wednesday’s opening day program and have the $300,000 Del Mar Derby on Sept. 2 as a long-term goal.

Whether either of the colts starts in the next stakes for 3-year-old turf males, the $150,000 La Jolla Handicap on Aug. 11, is a decision that will be made in coming days, their owners said.
