MIAMI – Nobody wants to win Saturday’s $55,000 Mambo Meister Stakes at Calder more than trainer Phil Gleaves.

Gleaves trained the multiple graded stakes winner Mambo Meister throughout his career, which ended tragically when he had to be euthanized after suffering severe injuries during a routine workout here earlier this spring.

“Calder management said right away they were going to name a race after Mambo Meister this year, and I’m humbled that they’ve done that,” Gleaves said.

Arapahoe Park’s improving purse structure the last several years has helped the Aurora, Colo., track draw an eclectic mix of stables for its 39-date mixed meet that opens Saturday. The season will run through Aug. 19.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Overvalued is being pointed to the $50,000 Vancouver Sun on June 17 after she redeemed herself with a game win over Burnin’ Britches in the Brighouse Belles last Monday.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – For a 6-year-old mare, Tierra Del Feugo hasn’t made it to the races very many times. But in all of her 12 starts Tierra Del Fuego has made her presence known while compiling a 4-4-1 record.

She looks like the one to beat when she makes her seasonal debut in an optional $35,000 claiming race for fillies and mares at Hastings on Saturday. The 6 1/2-furlong sprint drew 10 horses and goes as the seventh race. The eight-race card starts at 1:50 p.m. Pacific.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The last few weeks have kept jockey Mike Smith on the road for the Triple Crown and away from his weekly appointment to work the turf miler Mr. Commons.

For Smith, Saturday’s $150,000 American Handicap at Betfair Hollywood Park will be a chance to get reacquainted with Mr. Commons for the first time in a race since early March. It is a partnership he hopes will flourish in coming months, as the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Santa Anita in November slowly draws closer.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Simmard is a known quantity in turf marathons, having earned most of his $537,391 in such races. Tahoe Lake and Harrods Creek also are comfortable fits as both have been consistently competitive in graded company within the niche.

But for the five other older horses set to race Saturday in the 75th running of the Grade 3, $100,000 Louisville Handicap at 1 1/2 miles over the Churchill Downs turf, there is little to no data on which to base their chances. Perhaps one of the more accomplished of those, a 5-year-old gelding named Cease, can make an immediate impact.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Pender Harbour, last year’s Canadian champion 3-year-old, returns from a six-month layoff Saturday at Woodbine in the Grade 3, $150,000 Eclipse Stakes.

Hollywood Dreams ran into a couple of tough horses in his two starts in California last winter and he will certainly appreciate being back at Northlands Park, where he has compiled a 4-1-1- record from 7 starts. He looks like the one to beat in a $40,000 optional claiming race for 3-year-olds and up that will serve as Saturday’s feature. The six-furlong sprint drew a solid field of seven older horses and goes as the eighth race.

Navy Chapel, a three-time stakes winner against West Virginia-breds last season, returns from a lengthy layoff in Saturday night’s $50,000 It’s Binn Too Long at Charles Town.

Although she has been away since finishing third against open company in an allowance at Laurel Park on Jan. 16, Navy Chapel is listed at 1-2 on the track’s morning line against five other 3-year-old West Virginia-bred fillies in the 4 1/2-furlong It’s Binn Too Long.

John Jacinto, a past title winner at Louisiana Downs, is back at the Bossier City, La., track after spending some time at Prairie Meadows.

“He starts riding here Friday,” said his agent, Richie Price. “He’s riding the meet here.”

Jacinto has spent the past few summer seasons at Evangeline Downs. He was last based at Louisiana Downs in 2008.
