It is not trainer Mike Hushion’s modus operandi to wheel a horse back in two weeks, but he believes the timing is right to do just that with Correction Stakes winner Nicole H, who will point to the Grade 2, $150,000 Barbara Fritchie Handicap at Laurel Park on Feb. 18.

Nicole H won Saturday’s Correction by 2 1/2 lengths – her fifth win her last six starts. She ran six furlongs in 1:11.08 and earned a modest Beyer Speed Figure of 81. Hushion did not view the performance as overly taxing on Nicole H.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Michael Matz had two objectives when sending his Kentucky Derby prospect Union Rags out to work early Monday morning at Palm Meadows – beat the rain and give his Grade 1 winner the opportunity to get a little bit of a blow from what otherwise would have been a routine half-mile breeze.

And in the end, Matz was able to accomplish both his goals.

ARCADIA, Calif. – I’ll Have Another, the upset winner of the Robert Lewis Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita, came out of the race well and will await the Grade 1, $750,000 Santa Anita Derby on April 7 for his next and final prep for the May 5 Kentucky Derby, his trainer, Doug O’Neill, said Monday morning.

O’Neill said that he and owner Paul Reddam, along with Reddam’s wife, Zillah, and O’Neill’s brother, Dennis – an advisor to Reddam – met at Santa Anita’s Frontrunner restaurant on Sunday afternoon and decided it was prudent to not jam in another prep race.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Glamour N Glory, whose career has flourished since trainer David Fawkes switched her to the turf last fall at Calder, will try allowance competition for the first time when she takes on 10 rivals, including the Todd Pletcher-trained Dancing Solo, in Wednesday’s first-level optional $75,000 claiming feature at Gulfstream Park.

OLDSMAR, Fla. – It has been 17 years since Gal In a Ruckus carried the colors of John C. Oxley to victory in the 1995 Kentucky Oaks, and now, in the wake of Dixie Strike’s thrilling stretch-running victory in last Saturday’s $150,000 Florida Oaks at Tampa Bay Downs, Oxley and trainer Mark Casse have their sights set on the 2012 Oaks.

Even going winless with three starters at Gulfstream on Sunday, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin has won with 9 or his last 18 starters between Aqueduct and Gulfstream. In a span of 24 hours last week, he unleashed three very good-looking sprinters, including Falaah and Crossbow, who both won at Aqueduct, and Emcee, who romped to a victory at Gulfstream.

ARCADIA, Calif. -- Game On Dude took a little longer than expected to start his 2012 campaign, breaking flat-footed when the gate opened for the Grade 2, $200,000 San Antonio Stakes on Sunday at Santa Anita, but he quickly made up for lost time by overpowering his four opponents while rolling to an impressive, 5 1/4-length victory.

“My heart went right in my throat,” winning jockey Chantal Sutherland said of the tardy start. “I could see all the other heads looking, ‘Where’d she go?’ ”

ARCADIA, Calif. - Apprentice jockey Eswan Flores won the 40th race of his career in Friday’s eighth race and will claim a five-pound allowance for the rest of his apprentice term, through Sept. 11.

Flores, 18, began riding Thoroughbreds last July. The current Santa Anita winter-spring meeting is by far the best of his first season. Through Saturday, he ranked fourth in the standings with 16 wins, trailing leader Joel Rosario by 14 wins.

Flores had three wins on Jan. 29, the third triple of his career.

The Jersey Lilly was a 1 1/16-mile turf race for fillies and mares.

Trainer Bret Calhoun ruled the sprint divisions Saturday night on Premier Night at Delta Downs, with Speedacious easily winning her second straight $100,000 Matron while Su Casa G Casa scored a mild upset in the $100,000 Sprint.
