Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark., has added nine stakes to its schedule for the 2022-23 season opening in December, and the move expands the rich calendar to 45 stakes worth a record $13.7 million, the track announced Thursday.
Oaklawn opens for a 68-date on Dec. 9 and will race through May 6.
Churchill Downs Inc. had net income of $339.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, a record, though those results reflected an estimated net gain of $193.6 million on the sale of 115 acres of land on its Calder property in Miami, according to financial statements released on Wednesday.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike, unraced since finishing sixth in the June 11 Belmont Stakes, will ship within the next few days to Churchill, where he will be sent through two works before moving to Saratoga for his next start in the Aug. 27 Travers.
Rich Strike had a five-furlong breeze in 1:03 Tuesday at the Mercury training center on the outskirts of Lexington, Ky.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – It appears the precious commodity of time will enable Churchill Downs to host its first Arlington Million Day as planned.
All systems are go for Aug. 13, when four of six stakes on an 11-race Churchill card will be run over the turf course, which has had sufficient time to stablize after going unused since June 10. Nominations were released Tuesday for those stakes, led by the Grade 1 Arlington Million and Grade 1 Beverly D.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – For all the winning that trainer Steve Asmussen has done – he has compiled a record 9,846 wins and counting through Tuesday – there are some losses that stick with the Hall of Fame trainer.
The defeats Epicenter suffered in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness earlier this year are two of them.
“I’ll never get over them,” Asmussen said here earlier this week. “Never. Never. Never. I’m not over Curlin’s Derby, I’m not over Creator’s Derby. Why would I be over Epicenter’s Derby?”

An unraced 2-year-old colt reared, fell, and was fatally injured following routine training at Los Alamitos on Tuesday morning, after which the track issued a press release detailing the events owing to a social-media firestorm that erupted because the horse was trained by Bob Baffert.
Rapacious, a colt by Into Mischief, “was humanely euthanized following an unfortunate post-training accident that occurred as he was on his way back to the stable area at Los Alamitos Race Course,” the release said.
DEL MAR, Calif. – Soothsay has not run in more than a year, but she worked so well on Sunday morning that trainer Richard Mandella said he was likely to bring her back against the likes of defending race winner Shedaresthedevil in the Grade 1, $400,000 Clement Hirsch Stakes on Aug. 6 at Del Mar.
Soothsay, 4, has won three times in four starts, including the Grade 2 Santa Anita Oaks – in only her second start – and the Grade 3 Indiana Oaks, which marked her last race, on July 7, 2021.
DEL MAR, Calif. – Mandaloun, winner by disqualification of last year’s Kentucky Derby, was scheduled to arrive at Del Mar on Wednesday for the Grade 2, $300,000 San Diego Handicap on Saturday, for which a terrific field of older horses was entered Wednesday morning.
In addition to Mandaloun, to be ridden by Florent Geroux, the San Diego field was expected to include Country Grammer, Defunded, Express Train, Parnelli, Royal Ship, Senor Buscador, Stilleto Boy, and Tripoli.
