LEXINGTON, Ky. - Quiet Giant, who was expected to run in the Grade 1 Spinster Stakes on Sunday at Keeneland, has been taken out of training and will not race again before her sale next month, according to her trainer, Todd Pletcher, and Chris Baker, the farm manager for the late Edward P. Evans, who bred Quiet Giant and whose estate owns her.

ELMONT, N.Y. - There were two winning tickets sold on Friday's pick six at Belmont Park, each returning $146,573. The tickets were sold through Bettor Racing OTB in Sioux Falls, S.D. and the Maryland Jockey Club.

There was a two-day carryover of $103,591 entering the day, and an additional $341,572 was wagered into the pool on Friday.

The consolation payout (5 of 6) was $718.

California Flag will try for his third win in the $100,000 Morvich Stakes at Santa Anita on Monday.

California Flag won the Morvich in 2008 and 2009, but did not start in the race last year. In 2009, California Flag followed the Morvich victory with a 22-1 upset win in the BC Turf Sprint.

Monday’s Grade 3 Morvich Stakes is the eighth race on a nine-race program. The Morvich drew a field of eight, including Camp Victory, who was second in the Pat O’Brien Stakes, and the Bonde-trained Excessive Passion, a stakes winner at Pleasanton in July.

ARCADIA, Calif - Cambina, fifth in the Grade 1 Yellow Ribbon Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 1, is being pointed for the BC Filly and Mare Turf on Nov. 4, and may be among three runners at Churchill Downs that weekend for trainer Jeff Bonde.

Cambina, 3, closed from last in a field of nine to finish 2 1/2 lengths behind race winner Dubawi Heights, one of the top American contenders for the Filly and Mare Turf. Cambina raced on the rail and was still last with a furlong remaining in the race over 1 1/4 miles on turf.

“She didn’t get the best of trips,” Bonde said.

ARCADIA, Calif - Caracortado, the winner of the Grade 2 Del Mar Mile in August, is being considered for the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5, trainer Mike Machowsky said on Friday.

A winner of 8 of 17 starts and $774,105, Caracortado worked a half-mile in 49.40 seconds on Friday, his first recorded workout since Sept. 24. Machowsky said that Caracortado missed a week of training recently because of an abscess in a foot.

Ruthenia won her career debut at Belmont last year on Columbus Day last year, beating Hungry Island.

Ruthenia hopes to discover the winner’s circle again this Columbus Day when she meets 10 other 3-year-old fillies in the $100,000 Pebbles Stakes. The Pebbles, run at a mile on the Widener turf, tops a 10-race holiday card at Belmont. The first four races are on dirt, the last six on turf.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Drill has sufficiently recovered from an elevated temperature detected earlier this week to resume training on Sunday, trainer Bob Baffert said.

The winner of the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity last month and the runner-up in the Grade 1 Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 1, Drill is a leading candidate for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5.

Earlier this week, Baffert said Drill was battling an illness, but he said on Friday he has recovered.

“His blood work is normal,” Baffert said.

ELMONT, N.Y. – It is just a thought, not yet a plan. But trainer Chad Brown will spend the next two weeks thinking about sending the undefeated Awesome Feather to Churchill Downs for the $2 million Ladies’ Classic on Nov. 4.

Awesome Feather, last year’s champion 2-year-old filly, made a successful return to the races here at Belmont Park on Wednesday, winning the $60,000 Le Slew Stakes by two lengths. She ran seven furlongs in 1:22.76 and earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 81. It was her seventh career victory in as many starts.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – It was only a $7,500 claiming race, but Tevis Q. McCauley scarcely could have been happier. This was Keeneland, after all, where McCauley grew up going to the races as a kid and where he now trains a mid-sized public stable.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Compromised by a slow start and a wide trip, Forest Crown was beaten just a nose when she made her North American debut in a second-level allowance race at Belmont Park on July 14.

Though she has not run since, a repeat of that performance puts Forest Crown in the mix of a competitive 10-horse field set to run seven furlongs over Belmont’s Widener turf course in Sunday’s $60,000 Stormy West Stakes. The Stormy West shares billing with the $60,000 Duck Dance for older sprinters on dirt.
