DEL MAR, Calif. – Killer Graces seems to have an impatient side.

After she won her second stakes of her three-race career in the Landaluce Stakes at Hollywood Park on July 16, trainer Jerry Hollendorfer envisioned waiting for the $250,000 Del Mar Debutante on Sept. 5.

Killer Graces wants to do more, and is entered in Friday’s $150,000 Sorrento Stakes at Del Mar. The Grade 3 Sorrento is run over 6 1/2 furlongs for 2-year-old fillies and is a key prep for the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante.

“She’s coming out of her skin,” said Dan Ward, Hollendorfer’s assistant.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Given how well Bearpath ran in the Grade 1 Sword Dancer Invitational here last summer, no one would have been surprised had trainer Ian Wilkes pointed the 5-year-old Dynaformer gelding to that same race this year.

But Wilkes has set his sights somewhat lower, electing to run Bearpath in Friday’s $75,000 John’s Call Stakes, which drew a competitive, if not accomplished, field of 12. The John’s Call, run at 1 5/8 miles over the Mellon Turf course, will go as the seventh on a nine-race program that begins at 1 p.m.

BOSSIER CITY, La. – The first Super Saturday of the season is on tap this weekend at Louisiana Downs with the $100,000 Prelude Stakes for 3-year-olds anchoring a four-stakes program. The other stakes on the card, all scheduled for the grass, are the $50,000 Sunny’s Halo for 2-year-olds at 7 1/2 furlongs; the $50,000 Donnie Wilhite for 2-year-old fillies, also at 7 1/2 furlongs; and the $50,000 Barksdale at a mile for 3-year-olds and upward.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Roger Attfield has trained a record eight winners of the Breeders’ Stakes, the 1 1/2-mile turf race that is the final leg of the Canadian Triple Crown and will be run here at Woodbine on Sunday,

Attfield has won the Breeders’ with standouts With Approval, Izvestia, and Peteski, all of whom were completing sweeps of the series for Canadian-bred 3-year-olds.

He has won the Breeders’ with the fillies Carotene, Free Vacation, Pinafore Park, and Sweetest Thing.

Pennsylvania-breds will take center stage Friday night at Penn National with a pair of $75,000 turf events.

COLUMBUS, Neb. – Sookie’s Kookies will try to extend her three-race win streak when a field of eight 3-year-old fillies goes six furlongs in the $10,000-added Inaugural Stakes to start out the second weekend of racing at Columbus on Friday night.

Last weekend was for the 3-year-olds in the Haskell and Jim Dandy. Now the older males enter the spotlight in the Whitney Invitational this Saturday at Saratoga. Five of the top 10 horses in Mike Watchmaker's latest rankings were included in the 11-horse draw: Tizway, Mission Impazible, Apart, Rail Trip, and Friend Or Foe.

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. – The winner’s circle was empty after Saturday’s $461,000 Governor’s Cup Futurity at Los Alamitos.

Long Gone, who had finished first, was headed back to trainer Adan Farias’s barn after being disqualified and placed ninth. The promoted winner, Fixin to Fly, was on the backstretch, awaiting a van ride back to trainer Jim Hanson’s stable.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Most Unusual has one of the most successful trainer-rider combos at Woodbine and could earn his diploma in the lone non-claiming race on Friday’s card, a 1 1/16-mile maiden special on turf.

DEL MAR, Calif. – The Grade 1 winner Zazu has been supplemented to Saturday’s $300,000 Clement Hirsch Stakes at Del Mar, and may start in that race against older fillies and mares instead of being sent to Saratoga for the Alabama Stakes later this month.

Trainer John Sadler said that he would discuss options with owners Jerry and Ann Moss and their racing manager, Dottie Ingordo-Shirreffs, before finalizing plans.
