ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Gypsy Ring, a Sovereign Award finalist for Canadian champion sprinter last year, will clash with rival Paso Doble on Victoria Day holiday Monday in the $125,000 New Providence Stakes.

Gypsy Ring has been among the more consistent sprinters at Woodbine. He would have won more than seven races had he not had hanging tendencies, which is something that jockey Justin Stein has had to deal with.

Up Jumps a Monster will try to keep his perfect record intact when he runs in a second-level allowance race at Northlands Park Monday. The six furlong sprint for 3-year-olds and up drew 10 horses and goes as race 8 on the nine-race card, which begins at 1 p.m. Mountain.

Up Jumps a Monster won his 2-year-old debut going 5 1/2 furlongs in a maiden special weight race at Northlands last Aug. 10. He didn’t resurface until Feb. 25 when he came from a stalking position to win a $75,000 optional claiming race at Tampa Bay, again at 5 1/2 furlongs.

BALTIMORE – For a moment there, it looked as if Zagora might be victimized by pace again. But with a calculated ride and smooth trip under Javier Castellano, the standout mare came through as the favorite Saturday in the 61st running of the Grade 3, $150,000 Gallorette Handicap, the first stakes on the Preakness card at Pimlico.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Jockey Jesus Castanon, injured when unseated at the start of Friday’s 10th race at Churchill Downs, is believed to have a broken bone in his left hand, agent Dennis Cooper said Saturday.

He is off his mounts this weekend at Churchill Downs, and Cooper said he will not accept any calls for Castanon until after the rider visits a bone specialist Monday. Due to the timing of entries, this means the earliest he could resume riding would be next Saturday. Cooper called that scenario “best case.”

BALTIMORE – Bodemeister was the 7-5 favorite in early wagering for the 137th Preakness on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course, with Kentucky Derby winner I’ll Have Another the 7-2 second choice.

As of 6:50 p.m. Eastern, and with $126,488 in the win pool, next in line in the advance wagering were Went the Day (9-2), Creative Cause (6-1), and Daddy Nose Best (13-1). A field of 11 3-year-olds is expected to start.

BALTIMORE - Trainer Graham Motion entered three fillies in the Friday finale at Pimlico, the $100,000 Hilltop Stakes, but scratched two of them. Turns out, he only needed one anyway: Coup, who capped a big day for jockey John Velazquez by drawing clear to win the 1 1/16-mile turf race by a length.

Bred and owned by the Augustin Stable of George Strawbridge Jr., Coup finished in 1:42.71 over a firm course and returned $5 as favorite in a field of seven 3-year-old fillies. An Empire Maker filly, she was coming off a maiden victory at Gulfstream Park.

BALTIMORE - Off her last race, Sensible Lady didn't make sense to a lot of bettors in the $100,000 The Very One Stakes at Pimlico.

But given her performance two starts back in a second-level allowance race here, the switch to turf made perfect sense to Sensible Lad's trainer, Tim Salzman.

"She ran a huge race here about a month ago," Salzman said. "She ran a very fast time with her neck bowed."

BALTIMORE – Last month, trainer Donnie Von Hemel came out on the short end of a photo when Caleb’s Posse lost a nose decision to Jackson Bend in the Grade 1 Carter Handicap at Aqueduct.

Friday, the roles were reversed for Von Hemel as Alternation got his nose down on the wire just in front of Nehro to win the Grade 3, $300,000 Pimlico Special before an announced crowd of 32,473.

“We got beat a dirty photo in New York last month, so it all evens up,” Von Hemel said.

For the first time since last Saturday, the pick six was hit at Belmont Park on Friday, with two tickets each worth $431,363 for the correct combination of 6-1-4-11-3-5.

The pick six eluded bettors Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday, resulting in a three-day carryover of $319,939. An additional $952,331 was wagered on Friday's sequence.

The winners were Dylan Dangerous ($4.40), Adjournment ($27.40), Leading Citizen ($6.10), City Vice ($42.20), Hyper ($7.40), and Tapaway ($6.80).

The 5-of-6 consolation paid $943.

BALTIMORE – Late in the stretch run of the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, the only possible threat to Todd was Todd.

In Lingerie had overcome a troubled start, an uncomfortable opening quarter-mile, and a wide trip to take over from favored Mamma Kimbo after turning for home in the Friday co-feature on the Preakness eve program at Pimlico, and the only looming menace was her Todd Pletcher-trained stablemate, Displosablepleasure. But In Lingerie, with John Velazquez up, continued resolutely to post a 1 1/4-length triumph in the 88th running of the Grade 2, $300,000 Black-Eyed Susan.
