PHOENIX - Turf Paradise canceled live racing for a third straight day Tuesday as the track remained unsuitable for racing, the result of a severe winter storm that swept through the area Sunday.

Live racing is schedule to resume Friday

Mark Casse has become arguably the preeminent trainer at Woodbine in Canada, where the main racing surface has been Polytrack since August 2006. With more than 400 wins at Woodbine since 2007, Casse clearly knows how to prepare a horse to win over a synthetic track, and that’s just what he has been busy doing lately with a colt named Stealcase.

ARCADIA, Calif. – A surprisingly strong allowance race, featuring the comeback of stakes-winning Anthony’s Cross, highlights a compelling Thursday card at Santa Anita that is made all the more tempting by the $94,093 carryover awaiting pick-six players.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Redeemed, who finished third in the Grade 1 Donn Handicap, will make his next start in the New Orleans Handicap at Fair Grounds on April 1, according to his trainer, Richard Dutrow Jr.

Sunday’s one-mile allowance race at Golden Gate Fields reaffirmed an old racetrack axiom: pace makes the race.

Live Sundays went to an uncontested lead on the Tapeta main track, relaxed nicely, and was never seriously challenged while scoring a 1 1/2-length victory in 1:38.10 while earning a 96 Beyer Speed Figure.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Churchill Downs and its broadcasting partners have announced the renewal of the popular Kentucky Derby DreamBet, which wound up being worth $900,000 to its first contestant two years ago.

The day after Marilyn’s Guy beat San Pablo by a nose in the Feb 18 As Indicated Stakes, trainer Tony Dutrow said the 6-year-old gelding was full of himself as if to say “let’s do it again.”

On Sunday, the day after he gutted out a neck victory over San Pablo in the Grade 3, $150,000 Excelsior Stakes, Marilyn’s Guy was not so perky.

“He was quiet,” Dutrow said. “Safe to say that race got to the bottom of him. Outside of that, he’s fine; his legs are fine. But that race kicked his butt.”

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - It took Turbo Compressor nearly until the spring of his 4-year-old campaign and 11 starts to finally get on the turf. But it was well worth the wait.

Turbo Compressor dominated a strong allowance field that included the multiple graded stakes winner Boisterous by 5 1/2 widening lengths under leading rider Javier Castellano when he finally made his turf debut in Sunday’s co-featured fourth race at Gulfstream Park. The victory was the fifth for Turbo Compressor, who is already a two-time stakes winner and graded stakes-placed on dirt.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – An optimistic Ramon Dominguez said Monday he is hoping to miss only a couple of weeks of riding, despite suffering a separation of his collarbone in a spill at Aqueduct on Sunday.

Dominguez met with a specialist Monday in Long Island who sounded optimistic about an expedited return to the saddle.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – At a time of the season when most of the talk is about 3-year-olds and the Kentucky Derby, it’s refreshing to digress briefly to praise the accomplishments of a horse like Game Ball.
