HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - It wasn’t just the familiar parade of Todds and Chads making multiple visits to the winner’s circle Saturday at Gulfstream. Kelsey Danner also made two such appearances, most notably after Danse Macabre pulled a 12-1 upset of the Grade 3 Herecomesthebride under ship-in jockey Adam Beschizza.
One Saturday after getting Forte through his first race of the season in flying colors, Todd Pletcher will be looking to extend his record as the winningest trainer in Tampa Bay Derby history when sending out Tapit Trice as a solid favorite in the annual marquee race at Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar, Fla.
From 13 runners on Saturday’s 12-race program at Santa Anita, trainer Phil D’Amato witnessed a gamut of results.
The stable won three races, led by Gold Phoenix’s upset in the Grade 1 Frank Kilroe Mile. Conclude, a 3-year-old colt, ran a quick time to win a maiden race at 5 1/2 furlongs on turf, and the former stakes runner Cash Equity won an optional claimer in which he was eligible to be claimed for $80,000.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Trainer Charlton Baker on Sunday was to begin serving a 10-day suspension for the finding of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Flunixin, also known as Banamine, in the post-race sample of Daufuskie Island who won the third race at Aqueduct on Oct. 7, 2022.
Flunixin is typically used for the short-term treatment of moderate pain and inflammation.
Baker, who waived his right of appeal, will be suspended through March 14. He was also fined $1,000.
ARCADIA, Calif. – An untimely foot issue will prevent National Treasure from starting in the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita, racing manager Tom Ryan confirmed Saturday morning.
National Treasure, third in the 2022 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, and third in his 2023 debut in the Grade 3 Sham Stakes, was the 3-1 program favorite in the San Felipe. The race would have been his first start since moving from trainer Bob Baffert to Tim Yakteen.
“He’s going to come out,” Ryan said. “He’s a little tender on a quarter, and the horse comes first.”
The Pennsylvania Horse Racing Commission has issued a 15-day suspension to trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. after a horse he trains tested positive for a painkiller following a victory in the $400,000 Presque Isle Downs Masters Stakes last September, according to a ruling on the commission’s website.
Elmer January, who trained a stable of primarily Quarter Horses at Los Alamitos from the 1950s until 2020, died on March 1 at his ranch in Sanger, Calif., days after his 97th birthday.
January’s death was announced by Los Alamitos.
Santa Anita will race next Thursday as a makeup day for recent cancellations caused by rain. Santa Anita will race Thursday-Sunday next week.
The track will revert to a Friday through Sunday schedule from March 17 through April 9. There is no racing scheduled for April 14-16 to give the turf course, horses and human participants a rest.
