DEL MAR, Calif. – Tribal Peace won her debut at Betfair Hollywood Park by a half-length June 24, a margin that trainer John Sadler said was deceptive.

“What was a little confusing about her first race is she made the lead too soon and started fooling around,” Sadler said. “She went to the front so easily.”

For Friday’s $100,000 California Thoroughbred Breeders Association Stakes at Del Mar, Tribal Peace must remain focused. She has drawn the outside post in a field of seven 2-year-old California-bred fillies and will be favored.

DEL MAR, Calif. – Paynter, a game second to Union Rags in the Belmont Stakes on June 9, is bound for the $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park on July 29, trainer Bob Baffert said.

Paynter worked six furlongs in 1:13.20 on Del Mar’s Polytrack synthetic surface on Wednesday.

OCEANPORT, N.J. – Ima Jersey Girl ends a string of five straight stakes appearances when she drops to the $46,000 allowance feature for fillies and mares on Friday at Monmouth Park.

A 4-year-old gray New Jersey-bred, Ima Jersey Girl cuts back to six furlongs while facing five rivals in the third-level race. None of the runners carries the optional $60,000 claiming tag.

Ima Jersey Girl, a homebred for John Brunetti’s Red Oak Stable, can be her own worst enemy.

“She has a little problem in the gate sometimes where she gets a little anxious,” said trainer Greg Sacco.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Mike DePaulo plans to send out his stable star, the Ontario-sired Pender Harbour, here in Sunday’s open Nijinsky Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on the turf. But DePaulo also has a pair of less-heralded Ontario-sired performers on tap for upcoming restricted stakes races, with Kitty’s Got Class entered in Saturday’s $125,000 Passing Mood and Bear and Rod aiming for Wednesday’s $125,000 Deputy Minister.

The Passing Mood is a seven-furlong turf race for 3-year-old fillies, while the Deputy Minister is a seven-furlong Polytrack race for 3-year-olds.

Intense heat and humidity caused Delaware Park to cancel its live racing card Wednesday.

According to the National Weather Service, the heat index for the Wilmington, Del., region is expected to reach 105 degrees this afternoon before thunderstorms move in after 4 p.m.

Delaware Park officials made the decision to cancel for the third time this summer upon the recommendation of the Delaware Thoroughbred Racing Commission Chief Veterinarian Dr. John T. Peters. Peters said racing under such conditions would pose substantial health risks to horses, riders, and participants.

Awesome Feather, the undefeated 2-year-old champion filly of 2010, worked four furlongs in 49.29 seconds Tuesday over the Oklahoma training track and appears ahead of schedule for a late summer or early fall return to the races.

Awesome Feather, who hasn’t run since taking the Sunshine Millions Distaff in January, went her first quarter in 24.97 seconds and her second quarter in 24.32 while in hand.

Lucky Primo, who returned from an eight-month layoff to win an allowance race on Saturday at Hollywood Park, will be pointed for the California Cup this fall, with just one start at Del Mar, trainer Joshua Litt said Tuesday.

Litt and Marty Jones, who trained Lucky Primo for Litt earlier in his career, have done an outstanding job with Lucky Primo, who has had his career interrupted several times by injury. Litt said Lucky Primo came out of the race “not too bad, for him.”

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. -- Trainer Todd Pletcher confirmed Tuesday that Awesome Maria would run in Saturday’s $750,000 Delaware Handicap, where she will meet Royal Delta.

Awesome Maria defeated Royal Delta by eight lengths in the Sabin at Gulfstream in February. Awesome Maria had a six-race winning streak snapped when she finished third to It’s Tricky in the Grade 1 Ogden Phipps at Belmont on May 28.

AUBURN, Wash. – Wins have been hard to come by for Private Fortune, but the stakes-placed mare may have landed in a winning situation Thursday in the feature race at Emerald Downs. The first Thursday card of the meeting, seven races with an average field size of 6.57 horses, begins at 6 p.m. Pacific.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Rahystrada and Boisterous, the one-two finishers in the Arlington Handicap last weekend, are likely to meet again here Aug. 18 in the Arlington Million.

Rahystrada, who surprisingly set the pace and held late-running Boisterous off to win by a neck Saturday, was back home at the Thoroughbred Training Center near Lexington, Ky., this week. His trainer, Scooter Hughes, said Rahystrada is “in pretty good shape” coming out of the Arlington Handicap.
