All Star Heart, winner of the Grade 2 Las Palmas Handicap at Santa Anita last Sunday, is likely to make her Grade 1 debut in the $250,000 Matriarch Stakes at Hollywood Park on Nov. 25, trainer Ron McAnally said earlier this week.

Owned by breeder Gerald Gibbs, All Star Heart, 4, won the Grade 2 Las Palmas Stakes over a mile on turf by two lengths over City to City, closing from last in a field of five in the final quarter-mile. The Matriarch Stakes is run over a mile on turf.

“She ran big,” McAnally said. “She’s done everything right. My job is to keep her fit and sound.”

Creative Cause, third in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs last Saturday, will not race again this year and will be pointed to the Kentucky Derby preps at Santa Anita this winter.

Trainer Mike Harrington said earlier this week that Creative Cause will be given “at least 30 days, maybe longer” to rest from his 2-year-old campaign, which included stakes wins in the Grade 2 Best Pal Stakes at Del Mar in August and the Grade 1 Norfolk Stakes over 1 1/16 miles at Santa Anita last month.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Bill Mott can’t win the feature race at Churchill Downs every day, can he? The Hall of Fame trainer who swept the Breeders’ Cup anchors last weekend with Royal Delta in the Ladies’ Classic and Drosselmeyer in the Classic was back Sunday to win the Cardinal Handicap with Deluxe, adding an almost absurd layer of overkill to his phenomenal weekend.

There are 106,725 reasons to be at Golden Gate Fields when racing resumes Thursday, and by the time the pick six starts in the third race there may be twice as many reasons.

Although three favorites won Sunday, fans missed hitting the pick six for the sixth consecutive day, leaving an enticing $106,725 carryover to Thursday. Thirty-six tickets with five winners Sunday paid $579.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – The six Woodbine-based horses who participated in the Breeders’ Cup races at Churchill Downs last Friday and Saturday typified the highs and lows and everything in between.

Here are their stories.

Trainer Roger Attfield hadn’t pulled any punches heading into Friday’s Breeders’ Cup Fillies and Mares Turf, telling all and sundry that he didn’t believe the conditions would suit Perfect Shirl.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – The latter portion of the long Woodbine meet traditionally includes a host of longer routes, and Thursday’s second race is an interesting one that will be run over 12 furlongs on the Polytrack.

The classy Parabola should be well backed in the $16,000 claimer. A 5-year-old trained by Dan Wills, Parabola earned his 15 minutes of fame when he captured the restricted Kingarvie Stakes here in 2008.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Jockey Jean-Luc Samyn, who turned 55 on Sunday, retired from race-riding and will become a jockey agent for Filiberto Leon.

"It is the right thing to do," Samyn told the New York Racing Association's press department. "I had said that if I was able to walk away when I was 55 that was the time to do it."

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - While her Grade 1 Hopeful winner Currency Swap is recovering from an ankle injury, trainer Terri Pompay appears to have another 2-year-old colt who bears watching.

Managed Account, in his first start beyond six furlongs, rallied from fifth to win Sunday’s $75,000 Toccet Stakes by a neck over Launch Commander. Managed Account ran a mile in 1:35.70 and earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 84. Managed Account, a daughter of Malibu Moon out of the Grade 1 winning mare Catinca, is now 2 for 4.

OZONE PARK, N.Y - Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin went winless with his five starters at the Breeders’ Cup, though It’s Tricky ran a good second to Royal Delta in Friday’s Ladies Classic.

McLaughlin said that It’s Tricky along with Rattlesnake Bridge (ninth in the Classic), Alpha (11th in the Juvenile) and Miss Netta (sixth in the Juvenile Fillies) all went to Palm Meadows in south Florida. Trappe Shot, fourth as the favorite in the Dirt Mile, shipped back to New York creating the possibility he could run again this year, perhaps in the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct on Nov. 26.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Stay Thirsty won’t have to live in Uncle Mo’s shadow next year.

With the announcement Monday that Uncle Mo has been retired, Stay Thirsty, winner of the Jim Dandy and Travers this summer, will carry the banner for owner Mike Repole and trainer Todd Pletcher in the handicap division in 2012.

Stay Thirsty ended his 3-year-old campaign on a disappointing note by finishing 11th – a nose behind Uncle Mo – in Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs
