Bob Elliston, the president of Turfway, said at the committee's meeting that Turfway hoped to attract more interest for its signal in the simulcast market through the measure.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Boys At Tosconova, who is entered along with stablemate Trickmeister in Saturday’s Harlan’s Holiday overnight stakes, continues to train well since shipping to Florida from New York with trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. last month. Boys at Tosconova worked six furlongs in 1:14.60 and galloped out seven-eighths in 1:29.20 over a very fast track at Gulfstream Park Wednesday
The 1 1/16-mile Harlan’s Holiday drew a field of eight that also includes Duke of Mischief, who will make his first start since finishing a distant 10th in the Grade 1 Whitney.
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin reported that Breeders’ Cup Ladies Classic runner-up Its Tricky is galloping daily at Palm Meadows and could run once and perhaps even twice during the current Gullfstream Park meet.
“It’s a long year, and I’m not sure what we’ll do with her yet, although the Rampart at the end of March is possible, with a prep in late February in the Sabin a potential stepping-stone to that race,” said McLaughlin.
The Grade 3 Rampart will be run on the Florida Derby undercard on March 31.
Star Guitar came out of his third straight win Saturday in the Louisiana Champions Day Classic in good condition, trainer Al Stall said, and his connections now have the all-time earnings record for a Louisiana-bred as a target.
“He went to the track today," Stall said Wednesday morning. "He looks good. Everything’s fine. He’s on schedule for the fourth of February at Delta.”
Mr. Commons, fifth in the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5, remains on schedule for the $150,000 Sir Beaufort Stakes over a mile on turf for 3-year-olds at Santa Anita on Dec. 26.
“He’s been strong, strong, strong,” trainer John Shirreffs said Wednesday.
While Mr. Commons has thrived on turf in recent months, winning the Oceanside Stakes at Del Mar in July and finishing second in the Grade 2 Del Mar Mile in August and Grade 2 Oak Tree Mile at Santa Anita in October, he could switch surfaces in early 2012.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Stakes winners Longview Drive and Lucky Chappy will miss Saturday’s $750,000 CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park, but the race will include the sharp maiden winner Blingo, a late addition to the field.
The Grade 1 CashCall Futurity has drawn 13 2-year-olds, four of which are stakes winners.
Longview Drive, who won the Charlie Palmer Futurity at Fresno in October, will be pointed to the $100,000 Sham Stakes at Santa Anita on Jan. 7, according to Dan Ward, assistant to trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Teroda returns from a layoff of more than nine months in a $48,000 allowance race at Hollywood Park on Friday, resuming a career at a racetrack where she has thrived in the past.
Teroda won a maiden race for 2-year-old fillies here in November 2010 and was second and third in two other starts. Friday’s race, the seventh on an eight-race program, will be her first start since a third in an optional claimer on turf at Santa Anita on March 4.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Five 3-year-old fillies, including several fresh faces with considerable early speed, clash in Friday’s featured $60,000 Tate overnight stakes at six furlongs.
Red’s Round Table, who has won 6 of 8 starts for Maryland-based trainer Tim Keefe, breaks from the rail with Ramon Dominguez and may be a slight favorite over the David Jacobson-trained Flying Train in her second start back from a layoff.
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Anybody who felt that the opening month of the Gulfstream meet – which began in December instead of the traditional January date – might come up a little light from a quality standpoint need only look at Friday’s program to think otherwise.
