SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – The threat of inclement weather over the weekend and into Monday prompted the racing office to tinker with Saratoga’s stakes schedule. The Signature Stallions Waya Stakes, originally scheduled – but not drawn – for Monday has been carded for Wednesday instead.

The Monday feature is now the $75,000 Gleaming Stakes and has been carded as the first race on a nine-race program that features four other races scheduled for the turf, many of which have a plethora of main-track-only entrants.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The highly anticipated North American debut of the royally-bred filly Deluxe will have to wait.

Deluxe was scratched out of Saturday’s $75,000 De La Rose Stakes at Saratoga because of a high muscle enzyme count, trainer Bill Mott said.

"She tied up about 10 days ago and her muscle enzymes are still a bit high," said Mott, who trains Deluxe for Juddmonte Farms. "We drew blood yesterday and it was slightly off kilter. It’s nearly back to normal but we decided if everything wasn’t perfect we weren’t going to run."

Ten older horses, led by Cape Blanco and Gio Ponti, have been pre-entered in the 29th running of the Arlington Million, which will be run next Saturday as the annual showcase event at Arlington Park in Arlington Heights, Ill.

Deal Making took the lead with 20 yards to go to win the $75,000 Robellino at Penn National Friday evening.

Trained by Graham Motion, Deal Making recorded his first win since 2008 by defeating older Pennsylvania-breds going a mile and a sixteenth on the turf.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The pick-six went unhit for a second straight day Friday, resulting in a $215,398 carryover into Saturday's Whitney Handicap card at Saratoga.

There was a carryover of $70,287 entering Friday's card. Each leg of the pick six was won by a double-digit paying horse. The sequence of 11-6-2-7-6-1 included My Due Process ($10), Ratoath Special ($12.40), Mr. Ames ($11.60), Sanagas ($13.60), Runaway Jim ($10) and Sportswriter ($14.40).

The consolation payout (5 of 6) was $6,890.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Imagine how good Sanagas might be if he could run a straight line.

One race after attempting to lug in, Sanagas attempted to lug out in the stretch of Friday's $81,000 John's Call Stakes at Saratoga. Yet despite his desire to visit the outside rail, Sanagas won the John's Call by 2 1/4 lengths over Center Divider, who nailed Bold Hawk in the last jump for second.

OCEANPORT, N.J – Turning for home last Sunday in the $1 million Haskell Invitational, J J’s Lucky Train looked poised to hit the board. The colt, a $40,000 claim in his debut here last summer, was right in the mix in his first crack at Grade 1 runners.

J J’s Lucky Train finished fourth, edged out of third by Belmont Stakes winner Ruler On Ice by only a half-length.
