Delaware Park has canceled its live racing program for Tuesday due to insufficient entries.
In anticipation of Hurricane Irene, the facility, which includes a casino as well as simulcasting areas, planned to close at 8 p.m. Saturday and will not reopen until Monday.
Track officials intend to make an announcement on whether Monday’s live racing program will be held after the storm passes.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Stacelita and Zagora, trainer Chad Brown’s pair of Grade 1 turf stakes winners, put in workouts separately Saturday morning in preparation for their next starts.
Stacelita, working for the first time since she won the Beverly D. at Arlington Park on Aug. 13, worked four furlongs in 48.30 seconds over the Oklahoma turf course. She is preparing for a start in the Grade 1 Flower Bowl Invitational at Belmont Park on Oct.1.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Giant Oak and Ice Box, a pair of late-runners who’ll be looking for a lively pace next weekend in the Grade 1 Woodward, were a contrast in styles in their final tune-ups for the race Saturday.
Giant Oak, working over the main track, breezed an easy five furlongs in 1:02.56, while Ice Box shared the morning’s bullet half-mile drill of 48 seconds across Union Avenue at the Oklahoma training track.
ERIE, Pa. - Willie Martinez, who recorded his 3,000th career win on Aug. 12, will be sidelined after being injured in an accident following Friday's third race at Presque Isle Downs. According to his agent, Doug Davis, Martinez had a puncture in one of his lungs and several broken ribs.
"They kept him overnight for observation, because of the puncture," Davis said Saturday by phone from the rider's bedside at Erie's UPMC Hamot. "But he's talking and will be walking away from this, probably today. He can sit up and move his head, his hands and his legs."
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – With a confidence booster under his belt, To Honor and Serve is headed back to stakes company, with his next race likely to come in the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby on Sept. 24 at Parx Racing, trainer Bill Mott said Saturday.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Sidney’s Candy on Saturday completed preparations for his next start by working five furlongs over Saratoga’s main track in 1:03.42. What the next start is going to be has yet to be decided.
Elliott Walden, president of WinStar Farm, the owner of Sidney’s Candy, said Saturday he plans to talk to trainer Todd Pletcher on Sunday about which race to run Sidney’s Candy in. Walden said that race will most likely be next Saturday here in either the $750,000 Woodward at 1 1/8 miles or the $250,000 Forego at seven furlongs.
Golden Stripe couldn’t quite duplicate her 2010 effort in the Distaff, when she won the one-mile stakes for Manitoba-bred fillies and mares by 18 1/4 lengths.
On Friday night, at Assiniboia Downs, Golden Stripe had to settle for a 15 1/4-length victory in the $50,000 Distaff as she led all the way under jockey David Lopez.
Golden Stripe, a 5-year-old who races for his breeder, K-5 Stable, and trainer Shelley Brown, picked up $30,600 to bring her career earnings close to the $200,000 mark.
