As outlined by New York Racing Association stakes coordinator Andrew Byrnes, the prospective fields for next Saturday’s stakes tripleheader of the Grade 3, $200,000 Withers, Grade 3, $150,000 Toboggan, and $100,000 Correction are taking shape. An early look:

Withers: Alpha, Hakama, King Kid, Phil Dancer, Speightscity, Swag Daddy, and Tiger Walk. Also, How Do I Win appears the most likely starter among Todd Pletcher’s nine nominees; Longview Drive, third in the Sham, is being considered by Jerry Hollendorfer.

Going Ballistic, a Grade 2 winner of $1.1 million, has been retired, owner Mike Kindred said. The horse, who is now 8, is currently at a Texas farm and negotiations are taking place to potentially stand him at stud in California.

“Right now, we’re working on a deal,” Kindred said Friday.

Going Ballistic, who had a thrilling closing kick, won six stakes during his career, on both dirt and turf. Back in 2007, he won the Grade 2 Super Derby and the $300,000 Oklahoma Derby in back-to-back starts.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Pee H Dee is one of two promising 3-year-olds the owner-trainer team of Jim McIngvale and trainer Chris Richard have in the hopper for upcoming stakes at Oaklawn Park. Pee H Dee has put himself under consideration for next month’s Grade 3, $250,000 Southwest Stakes following a recent allowance win. Ring It Up, meanwhile, is a horse that could develop into a candidate for the Grade 2, $500,000 Rebel in March.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Eddie Plesa hopes an extra furlong and an equipment change can help Say a Novena exact some revenge on Sacristy when the two 3-year-old fillies meet for the second time in four weeks in Sunday’s Grade 2, $150,000 Forward Gal Stakes at Gulfstream Park.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The depth of trainer Bob Baffert’s 3-year-old division will lead to multiple starters for the Hall of Famer in the $200,000 Robert Lewis Stakes next Saturday at Santa Anita.

Baffert will run Liaison, winner of the Grade 1 CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park on Dec. 17, and Sky Kingdom, who was fourth in the CashCall and winner of an allowance race here Jan. 12.

Changes to the start and end date of Remington Park’s meet for Thoroughbreds have been approved by the Oklahoma Racing Commission. The track will now open its season on Friday, Aug. 10, after being originally scheduled to start the meet on Wednesday, Aug. 15. Remington will close a day later than originally scheduled, on Sunday, Dec. 9.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Augustin Bezara said immediately after Reveron upset the Gulfstream Park Derby here on New Years’ Day that the Grade 3 Holy Bull was not in his plans. And the Venezuelan-born horseman was true to his word.

Reveron is not among the six 3-year-olds entered in Sunday’s one-mile Holy Bull. Instead, Bezara is planning to ship Reveron, a son of Songandaprayer, to Tampa Bay Downs for next Saturday’s Grade 3 Sam F. Davis.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – It isn’t a stakes race, but it could be. When Sunday’s seventh race at Gulfstream Park is over, one or more of the nine 3-year-olds entered will be stakes bound in a bid to get on the Triple Crown trail.

A trio of stakes-placed 3-year-olds – Casual Trick, Take Charge Indy, and El Padrino – will meet in a $53,000 first-level allowance race at 1 1/16 miles on Sunday’s card at Gulfstream, which is highlighted by the Grade 3, $400,000 Holy Bull Stakes, also for 3-year-olds.

OLDSMAR, Fla. – Jockey Ronnie Allen Jr, currently the second leading rider at Tampa Bay Downs, escaped serious injury Thursday after he was thrown from his mount during the eighth race.

Allen, who had won a race earlier in the card to give him 25 winners for the current stand, was aboard Second Appeal in a six-furlong claiming sprint when the 4-year-old filly fell midway through the turn, throwing Allen to the ground.

The jockey was taken to St. Joseph Hospital where X-rays proved negative. He was later released.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – A pair of optional claiming races with first-level allowance conditions share top billing Sunday.

Eight fillies and mares go six furlongs for a $62,000 pot in race 4. Full of Gut, a six-time winner on the circuit last year, makes her seasonal bow off a claim by Brad Baker in mid-December and heads the field.
