SHAKOPEE, Minn. – With the temperatures expected to reach triple digits and a heat index expected to hit 114 degrees on July 4, officials at Canterbury Park has canceled its holiday card and rescheduled the day's events for Saturday.

“The health of both our equine and human athletes as well as our race fans is always our primary concern," said Canterbury Park President Randy Sampson. "After consulting with chief state veterinarian Dr. Lynn Hovda, we have determined it is in everyone’s best interests to cancel tomorrow’s races.”

Tuesday’s Grade 3, $250,000 Dr. James Penny Memorial Handicap at Parx turned into a summer rerun of a May stakes for New York-breds at Belmont Park when Gitchee Goomie and Hessonite repeated their one-two finish and the identical margin at the finish.

The only difference from the May 27 Mount Vernon, in which Gitchee Goomie scored by a half-length as the 6-5 favorite over 3-1 Hessonite, was the odds. In the rematch, the David Donk-trained Hessonite went off the 5-2 favorite while Gitchee Goomie was co-second choice at 3-1.

Del Mar has raised purses in most categories for its upcoming meeting, with an added emphasis on higher prize money for maiden special weight and allowance races.

The condition book, detailing the majority of the races to be offered in the first two weeks of the meeting, from July 18-29, was published last week. The meeting runs through Sept. 5.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Led by a promising maiden in Golden Production, owner Samantha Siegel and trainer Ron Ellis have three starters at Betfair Hollywood Park on Thursday, with chances for a multiple win day.

Siegel and Ellis start Revered in the second race, which is for maiden claimers over 6 1/2 furlongs; Temerity in the third race, a $25,000 claimer over 1 1/16 miles; and Golden Production in the sixth race, for maidens over six furlongs. Joe Talamo has the mount on all three runners.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Four months later, the eighth-place finish by Thirtyfirststreet in the Santa Anita Handicap still stings co-owner Mark Gorman.

Turning into the stretch, Thirtyfirststreet was fourth when jockey Eswan Flores guided the 4-year-old colt to the rail, aiming for a narrow gap. There was not enough space. An 83-1 shot, Thirtyfirststreet struck the rail and faded to finish eighth.

“We thought we’d finish first or second there,” Gorman said.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Stunning Stag was recording his fourth stakes score here in Monday’s $100,000 Ontario Jockey Club, a seven-furlong turf race for Ontario-bred 3-year-olds and upward.

Stunning Stag, a 7-year-old whom Sid Attard trains for his wife, Janice Attard, also has won seven other races and finished in the money in 26 of 34 starts while earning $989,435. More than $900,000 of that total has been bagged since Stunning Stag was claimed for $40,000 here from his fifth start on Nov. 17, 2007.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Tu Endie Wei has checked into Belmont for Saturday’s Victory Ride Stakes, a six-furlong race for 3-year-old fillies which offers Grade 3 status and a purse of $150,000.

Bred in Kentucky by her owner, Brereton C. Jones, Tu Endie Wei was Canada’s champion 2-year-old filly for trainer Reade Baker with her only loss coming in Keeneland’s Grade 1 Alcibiades at 1 1/16 miles.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Monday’s $150,000 Achievement Stakes had been billed as a clash between Incredicat, who was favored at 4-5, and Jenna’s Wabbit, the 6-5 second choice. But it was Jenna’s Wabbit who provided all the fireworks as he bounced to the lead under regular rider Eurico Rosa da Silva and was never seriously threatened while leading throughout the six furlongs, with Incredicat giving game but futile chase.

Amanecer de Oro is a stakes winner at one turn and two and on dirt and turf, but after firing one of the best races of his career last Saturday night in the $100,000 Louisiana Legends Sprint at Evangeline Downs, his immediate schedule will comprise main-track sprints in the region, trainer Steven Duke said.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Doctor Chit and Gypsy Robin, each a perfect 2 for 2 this year racing exclusively on synthetic tracks, head a field of seven 3-year-olds in Thursday’s $85,000 Western Larla overnight stakes at six furlongs on the dirt. The competitive dash also lured Vexor, winner of the Grade 2 Nashua Stakes; and Saint of Saints, a sharp second to odds-on older horse Associate in his local bow.
