[bc_video_id:255772:]ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – It’s a good bet that memories of Keeneland’s 2009 September yearling sale will stick with owner James Miller. Miller bought two horses at the sale: a daughter of Kafwain, for whom he paid $5,500, and a filly by Jump Start, who cost $8,500. The Kafwain filly, Daisy Devine, has earned $764,914 and won the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley Stakes in April. The Jump Start was called Maude S, and after turning in one of the most impressive performances of the Arlington meet May 23, she makes her stakes debut Saturday in the Grade 3, $150,000 Chicago Handicap.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Headed by the top four finishers from last month’s Sheepshead Bay and a pricey import from Europe, a field of six fillies and mares will square off in Saturday’s 69th running of the New York Stakes.

A Grade 2, $200,000 race scheduled for 1 1/4 miles on the inner turf, the New York is carded as the ninth of 11 races and is the second leg of a late pick four with a $350,000 guaranteed pool. Post time is 5:06 p.m.

MIAMI – Awesome Feather, Jackson Bend, and Trinniberg are the latest in a long list of nationally renowned horses who began their careers as 2-year-olds at Calder.

On Saturday, 18 juveniles will take their first major step towards what they hope may eventually be similar success when they start in the first 2-year-old stakes of the local season, the $100,000 Frank Gomez Memorial and its filly counterpart, the $100,000 J J’sdream. Both races will be decided at 5 1/2 furlongs and highlight an outstanding card that also features the $55,000 American Dreamer for 3-year-olds at a mile.

Trainer Jeff Bonde said he felt surrounded after the draw for Saturday’s $50,000-added Alameda County Fillies and Mares Stakes at the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton.

Five fillies and mares were entered in Northern California’s first stakes for older fillies and mares − three were from the barn of trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.

“There’s power in numbers,” Bonde said.

And Hollendorfer has all the power in this 1 1/16-mile race.

Ss Poker Face Dream, who has won all three of his starts, will attempt to continue his streak Saturday night in the Grade 2, $101,950 Sires’ Cup Futurity for Quarter Horses at Retama Park. He is part of a 10-horse field that includes Grade 3 winner Rc Had to Be My Day.

Ss Poker Face Dream has won his races by a combined margin of six lengths, his latest a 2 1/4-length romp in his trial for the Sires’ Cup. He rallied from just off the pace, and before that won on the front end in a maiden race and an allowance, both at Sam Houston.

Dreaminofthewin could punch his ticket to the $200,000 Governor’s Cup at Remington Park with the right kind of effort in Saturday’s sixth race at Lone Star Park. He is part of a strong cast for the 1 1/16-mile turf allowance that drew nine horses, including stakes winners Fifteen Love, Heavenville, J J’s Indy, and Capture the Flag.

Magical Twist will have several key factors working in his favor Saturday when he tries two turns for the first time in the $30,000 Colorado Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association Derby at Arapahoe Park. He is one of 11 horses in the 1 1/16-mile race restricted to 3-year-olds bred in Colorado.

Magical Twist enters the CTBA Derby off a maiden special weight win over statebreds June 1. He won the 5 1/2-furlong race at Arapahoe on the front end, one start after finishing second in his career debut at Prairie Meadows in May.

The top three finishers, separated by a head, from the Fonner Park Special Stakes on April 28 meet again Saturday as a short field of five 3-year-old Nebraska-bred fillies will go six furlongs in the $20,000 Breeders’ Special at Lincoln Race Course.

Bumper’s Shadow, a nose short of winning her maiden in the Fonner Special, has since rattled off a pair of convincing victories, but will be facing the strong 1-2 punch of Jim Cranwell’s duo of Precious Affair and Classy Affair who both ship down from Canterbury Park in Minnesota for this race.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Mark Casse sends out the unbeaten Uncaptured and unraced Calgary Cat on Saturday at Woodbine in the $150,000 Clarendon Stakes, a five and a half-furlong dash for Ontario-bred 2-year-olds.

Uncaptured debuted May 13 under Patrick Husbands, in a four and a half-furlong maiden special, which he won by a nose over Ray’s Away, who came back to post an upset in the Victoria Stakes. His time of :51.96 translated into a 58 Beyer Figure.

The connections of millionaire West Viriginia-bred Russell Road are hoping the third time’s the charm when he faces open company in the $100,000 Wild and Wonderful, the richest of five undercard stakes on Saturday night’s Sprint Festival program at Charles Town that is topped by the $400,000 Red Legend for 3-year-olds.
