POMONA, Calif. – Christian Santiago-Reyes rode four winners Wednesday at Fairplex Park, including odds-on Carbonite in the $50,000 Governor’s Cup Handicap, as the jockey race gets interesting at the Los Angeles County Fair.

Martin Pedroza rode a winner to remain atop the standings; the four-bagger by Santiago-Reyes narrowed Pedroza’s advantage to 22-17. The 13-day meet concludes Sunday.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Artic Fern ($15.90) took it to Hollywood Hit early, before upsetting that imposing rival in the $112,000 King Corrie Stakes on Wednesday night at Woodbine.

Hollywood Hit, the 3-10 favorite, darted out to the lead in the six-furlong dash, before being joined along the inside by Artic Fern after a quarter in 22.39 seconds. They dueled around the turn through a half in 44.55, and Artic Fern began to edge away in the final sixteenth en route to a one-length score in 1:09.79.

The Pennsylvania State Horse Racing Commission has approved a revised live racing calendar for the remainder of 2011 for Penn National Race Course.

The central Pennsylvania track reopens for live racing on Friday night, followed by programs this Saturday and Wednesday, Sept. 28 through Saturday, Sept. 30, with first post time at 6 p.m. Eastern.

Penn National will then switch to a Tuesday through Saturday evening racing schedule for October and November. The exception is Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, when there will be no live racing.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Tar Heel Mom could be running for a spot in the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint when she heads a field of seven entered in Saturday’s Grade 2, $150,000 Gallant Bloom Handicap at Belmont Park.

Tar Heel Mom will most likely be retired at the conclusion of the year, so her connections – trainer Stanley Hough and owner Alex Rankin – may seek a grand finale, provided Tar Heel Mom runs well in the Gallant Bloom at 6 1/2 furlongs.

BOSSIER CITY, La. – Saturday has been designated Southern Showcase Day at Louisiana Downs and will feature some of the best young horses bred in Arkansas and Louisiana. Four stakes for 2-year-olds and a pair of one-mile turf events for 3-year-olds will be worth a combined $600,000.

AUBURN, Wash. – With no dominant colt or gelding in the 2-year-old ranks at Emerald Downs, Sunday’s season-ending Gottstein Futurity could fall to a filly for just the fifth time in the past 50 years. In fact, Sweet Saga, winner of the one-mile Barbara Shinpoch Stakes in her last start, could start as the favorite.

Antioch Diamond won all four of his Remington Park starts in 2010, and is in similar form at the Oklahoma City track this year. He opened the current meet with an allowance win earlier this month, and will seek to build upon the effort Friday night when he makes his second start of the local season in the $50,000 Remington Park Turf Sprint.

The five-furlong race for Oklahoma-breds highlights a card that includes a mile turf allowance that drew stakes winners Going Ballistic, Red Lead, Coyote Legend, Strategic Leader, and J J’s Indy.

ELMONT, N.Y. – A pair of $60,000 overnight stakes highlight Friday’s nine-race card at Belmont Park, though both could be impacted by Mother Nature.

With showers possible Wednesday through Friday, the $60,000 Positive Gal Stakes for 3-year-old fillies could be run over a wet main track while the $60,000 Third Martini could be run on soft turf or, depending how much rain falls, be moved to the main track.

POMONA, Calif. – The 1990s was the heyday for racing at the Los Angeles County Fair. The fall meet lasted 19 days, stakes purses routinely exceeded $100,000, and the Pomona Derby and Pomona Handicap were important races on the California autumn schedule.

It was the 1990s when Mama Simba ran amok on the five-eighths mile track at Fairplex Park. Mama Simba won five stakes over a four-year period (1990-93) and became the most successful mare to compete on the five-eighths bullring.

Turallure, suddenly a fringe contender for a divisional Eclipse Award after adding the Grade 1 Woodbine Mile to a 2011 victory resume that already included the Grade 2 Bernard Baruch, will not race again until the Nov. 5 Breeders’ Cup Mile at Churchill, trainer Charlie Lopresti said Wednesday.

“We’ll just take it easy with him for a bit, then get him ready at Keeneland for the Breeders’ Cup,” said Lopresti. “He really ran huge the other day.”
