MIAMI – Fort Loudon and Trinniberg put on quite a show in last Saturday’s Grade 3 Carry Back at Calder, and there’s a good chance the two locally based colts could meet again Aug. 25 at Saratoga in the Grade 1 King’s Bishop.

BOSSIER CITY, La. – Trainer Eric Heitzmann has been fined $1,000 by track stewards for being the aggressor in an altercation in the Louisiana Downs paddock last Thursday afternoon. In addition to the fine, Heitzmann has been ordered to undergo anger management counseling.

The cast of characters may have changed slightly after last Saturday’s $50,000 Par Four overnight stakes for 2-year-olds was redrawn and rescheduled for Thursday at Delaware Park. But it remains a hard to decipher puzzle for handicappers.

Five of the nine colts and geldings entered in Thursday’s ninth race are fresh from winning their career debuts by at least three lengths, so there are a lot of different directions a handicapper could go in trying to pick the right horse.

It Happened Again heads a field of seven in the $100,000 Golden Bear, an open stakes for 3-year-olds and up going 1 1/16 miles, on Wednesday's closing night 13-race card at Indiana Downs.

The 6-year-old It Happened Again will be running for the first time for trainer Tom Amoss after coming from the barn of Chris Richard. Owned by Maggi Moss, It Happened Again finished third in the Rasmussen Memorial at Prairie Meadows two starts ago going the same distance as the Golden Bear.

Jockey John Velazquez, sidelined since sustaining a broken collarbone in a spill at Churchill Downs on June 16, will begin getting on horses in the morning next week at Saratoga, but stopped short of saying if he would be ready to return to race-riding by the July 20 opening of the meet.

On Monday, Velazquez met with Dr. Stephen O’Brien at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, who cleared him to begin getting on horses next Monday at Saratoga.

Royal Delta, who won the Grade 2 Fleur de Lis Handicap by eight lengths in her last start, worked five furlongs in 1:01.75 Monday morning over Belmont Park’s main track.

Trainer Bill Mott said that Royal Delta would most likely make her next start in the $750,000 Delaware Handicap on July 21.

“We’ve certainly been leaning in that direction all along and just monitoring her progress and well being,” Mott said. “She seems to be fine. She ran awfully big last time and we want to make sure everything’s in good order before we run, but it seems to be.”

Cozze Up Lady will be looking for her second consecutive win in the $125,000 Indiana Distaff on Wednesday’s closing night card at Indiana Downs.

The Distaff is one of two open stakes on a 13-race card that includes four stakes for Indiana-breds.

The Bret Calhoun-trained Cozze Up Lady won a one-mile turf allowance in her last out June 8 at Churchill Downs, the same surface and distance as the Distaff. Prior to that victory, she finished fourth, beaten 1 1/4 lengths going 1 1/8 miles at Churchill. Calhoun was pleased with both efforts.

ELMONT, N.Y. – If the connections of Suburban Handicap winner Mucho Macho Man continue to manage their colt as they have thus far, it would appear that he is more likely to run in the Woodward at Saratoga on Sept. 1 than the Whitney at Saratoga on Aug. 4. Both races are worth $750,000 and run at 1 1/8 miles.

Even if that turns out to be the case, the Whitney will not be lacking for quality or quantity.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas – Lone Star Park reported a decline of nearly 11 percent in average daily handle on its races from all sources during the 53-date meet that closed Sunday, but officials said they were pleased with the season because it hit its marks on major event days.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Classic Bryce, who finished eighth in the Queen’s Plate, made a return trip from Woodbine to Fort Erie on Monday morning to get a taste of the track there before Sunday’s Prince of Wales Stakes.

The Prince of Wales, which follows the Queen’s Plate as the second leg of the Triple Crown for Canadian-bred 3-year-olds, will be run over 1 3/16 miles on Fort Erie’s dirt surface.

Irish Mission and Dixie Strike, the 2-3 finishers in the 1 1/4-mile Queen’s Plate here June 24, are the leading candidates in a prospective field of nine for the Prince of Wales.
