OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Jockey Ramon Dominguez will likely miss only two weeks of riding and is expected back in time to ride Hansen in the $1 million Wood Memorial at Aqueduct on April 7.

Dominguez, the two-time Eclipse Award winning rider, suffered a separation of his collarbone after being involved in a spill Sunday at Aqueduct. Dominguez had an MRI performed on Tuesday in Manhattan and Dr. Stephen O’Brien, an orthopedic surgeon for the Hospital of Special Services, told Dominguez he may only have to miss a week.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Tones scored a 13-1 upset in the Baffle Stakes on the hillside turf course at Santa Anita in late February, a victory that may lead to an adventuresome 2012 campaign.

If Tones wins Friday’s $70,000 Pasadena Stakes for 3-year-olds over a mile on turf, he could start in the $200,000 American Turf Stakes at Churchill Downs on May 4.

“The guys that own this horse are game, and they would be looking around the country,” trainer Doug O’Neill said. “We were pumped about his [last] performance.”

Here's my race-by-race rundown of Friday's pick four at Aqueduct on March 23, 2012. I'm building my wager with TicketMaker, found exclusively on DRF.com, using $0.50 incremental bets per race on a $100 budget.

Fair Grounds runs the occasional 14-horse race, but only on the main track and only at six furlongs. Fourteen will run in the richest race on the Friday program at the New Orleans track, a $41,000 first-level allowance for Louisiana-bred 3-year-olds, giving the race plenty of allure to bettors.

Doug O’Neill already has a leading candidate for the May 5 Kentucky Derby in I’ll Have Another, winner of the Grade 2 Robert Lewis Stakes last month at Santa Anita. But it never hurts a trainer to have a little backup.

Arlington Park on Tuesday released an overnight stakes schedule for its 2012 race meet consisting of 11 races worth a total of $725,000.

Recent seasons have seen the virtual elimination of overnight stakes from the Arlington meet, but the release of millions of dollars of casino impact fees to the state’s racing industry has boosted purse accounts enough that Arlington can offer a fairly comprehensive program this season.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Philippe was on the fringes against stakes company at 3 but his trainer, James Baker, is hoping 2012 will be a breakout season for the homebred, beginning with Friday’s second-level optional $62,500 claiming feature at Gulfstream Park.

As a 3-year-old, Philippe finished a close second in a pair of overnight stakes at Turfway Park and Oaklawn Park early last season but saved his best for last when he checked home second, a head in front of his more accomplished stablemate Will’s Wildcat, in Turfway’s Grade 3 Kentucky Cup Sprint.

Add Alpha’s name to the list of probable Louisiana Derby starters. Alpha, winner of the Withers Stakes at Aqueduct in his most recent start, had been under consideration for both the Wood Memorial and the Florida Derby in recent weeks, but now seems likely to ship to New Orleans from Florida next week.

“The chances are very good that we’re coming that way,” trainer Kiaran McLaughlin told the Fair Grounds publicity department.

Trainer Larry Jones remained adamant that a decision on whether Havre de Grace will make her next start in the Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn won’t be reached until the weights for the April 13 race are released on April 7.

Havre de Grace, Jones said, came out of her 4 1/2-length win in the New Orleans Ladies on Saturday at Fair Grounds in fine physical condition, and was scheduled to return to regular training Wednesday.

“She put in a pretty dazzling performance,” Jones said. “She just kind of looked like she was galloping out there.”

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Corey Moran, jockey agent for Paco Lopez, reports there is no definite timetable for his rider’s return. Lopez suffered a broken collarbone and six broken ribs in a nasty spill that took place in early stretch of Saturday’s finale. Lopez remained hospitalized Tuesday morning but was expected to be released within 48 hours.
