Kentucky Downs placing judges posted the wrong fourth-place finisher in the seventh and last race on their opening-day program Saturday, an error that has been corrected for the purposes of official placings and purse payouts but will not affect the mutuel payoff involving the superfecta.

The original order of finish in the race, a $27,000 allowance, was recorded as 2-4-1-6. But after a review of the photo-finish for fourth revealed that No. 9, Night Party, actually finished fourth, barely ahead of No. 6, Heiden, the result has been revised to 2-4-1-9.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Charles Lopresti has never been to Canada, nor has he ever been represented by a starter here at Woodbine.

But Lopresti will be looking to correct those oversights this week as he was scheduled to check in Wednesday to put the finishing touches on Turallure’s preparations for the Woodbine Mile.

Turallure, a Kentucky-bred 4-year-old colt, is coming off the best race of his career as he captured Saratoga’s Grade 2 Bernard Baruch over 1 1/8 miles of turf by 2 1/4 lengths.

POMONA, Calif. – The racing program Thursday at Fairplex Park epitomizes the fair circuit – nine claiming races on a nine-race card with relevance limited to winning connections and clever horseplayers.

All 82 entrants Thursday are in for a tag, and represent a cross-section of the lower levels. Races include older $20,000 maiden claimers at a half-mile, $32,000 maiden claiming 2-year-olds, and older winners entered for claiming prices ranging from $5,000 to $25,000.

MIAMI – Trinniberg, who nearly pulled off a 68-1 stunner in the Grade 1 Hopeful on Labor Day at Saratoga, is back home in south Florida but likely has another trip to New York in his future, owner Shivananda Parbhoo said earlier this week.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – It was quiet on the Woodbine Mile front Tuesday with a field of either 11 or 12 expected to be announced at the ceremonial draw here Thursday.

Courageous Cat, winner of Hollywood’s Grade 1 Shoemaker Mile in his last start, and Court Vision, the defending Woodbine Mile champion, are scheduled to come north for the one-mile turf race, which offers Grade 1 status and a purse of $1 million.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Miser cleared the first Ontario-sired allowance condition at a short price in her last outing and should be favored again in Thursday’s Woodbine headliner, a nonwinners-of-three allowance for Ontario-sired fillies and mares.

Miser had a productive two-race spring campaign for owner/trainer Steve Asmussen, who sent her out to win a five-furlong maiden special in her second start off the bench May 25. Following a seven-week break July 17, she disappointed in an allowance over 6 1/2 furlongs, which is the distance of Thursday’s feature.

Marquis Downs showed an 11.6 percent increase in handle for its 2011 meeting which ended last Saturday, with $951,201 wagered over the 28 racing days compared to $852,128 last year.

The daily average handle on the live racing, from all sources, was $33,971, an increase of 11.6 percent from 2010. Last year’s daily average, also based on a 28-day meeting, was $30,434. Both meetings had been scheduled for 30 days but lost two days to weather-related issues.

The venerable gelding Awesome Gem, winner of the Grade 3 Longacres Mile at Emerald Downs in his most recent start Aug. 21, will soon be on the road again. Trainer Craig Dollase said he will point the 8-year-old to the Grade 2, $500,000 Hawthorne Gold Cup on Oct. 8.

Awesome Gem has won 9 races and more than $2.6 million from 46 starts on 17 different surfaces.

“If it’s wet and muddy, so much the better,” Dollase said.

The next start for top California sprinter Smiling Tiger will be the Breeders’ Cup Sprint, according to trainer Jeff Bonde.

“He won’t race again until the Breeders’ Cup; he’ll train up to the race on works,” the trainer said this week from Keeneland.

Caracortado, winner of the Grade 2 Del Mar Mile in his most recent start, will stay on his preferred surface and drop in class for his next start Oct. 29 in the $175,000 California Cup Classic at Santa Anita.

“He’s had a tough year, and I want to make it as easy as possible,” trainer and co-owner Mike Machowsky said. “The Classic is now on the turf, and when I saw they did that, it [made the decision easy].”
