Bach’s Homebrew seeks his third straight stakes win when he heads a field of six older horses in the $17,500 HBPA Stakes going a mile and 70 yards at Lincoln Race Course on Saturday afternoon.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Six of the 21 fillies and mares nominated for Sunday’s Dance Smartly Stakes are trained by Roger Attfield here at Woodbine.

And while all six will be in action this weekend, the troops will be evenly split between the local turf feature and two out-of-town turf events.

Miss Keller, Mekong Melody, and No Explaining have been entered in the Grade 2, $300,000 Dance Smartly, a 1 1/8-mile race that has attracted a field of 10.

Oregon Lady has been entered in Saturday’s Grade 3, $150,000 Modesty at 1 3/16 miles on the grass at Arlington Park.

U R Burnin Daylite, who has emerged as the top 3-year-old sprinter at the young meeting, will be looking to ration his speed over 1 1/16 miles in Saturday’s Harry Jeffrey at Assiniboia Downs. The $30,000 Harry Jeffrey is situated as the major local prep for the $75,000 Manitoba Derby, which will be run on Aug. 1, and a field of 12 has been entered.

Trainer Rod Cone is hoping for a big afternoon at Northlands Park Saturday. Cone has significant horses entered in the three $50,000 stakes that are featured on the 10-race card: the Ky Alta, Chariot Chaser, and John Patrick.

Cone thinks his best chance is with Boomtown Brat in the one-mile Ky Alta for 3-year-olds. Nonetheless, Maegans Princesses looks pretty live in the six-furlong Chariot Chaser for 3-year-old fillies and both Notoriously and Inca Beauty look like contenders in the one-mile John Patrick for fillies and mares.

On paper, 4-year-old stablemates Media Madness and She Be Classy hardly look like they belong in the Robert Dick Memorial, a Grade 3 turf stakes for fillies and mares that tops the Delaware Oaks undercard Saturday at Delaware Park.

ALTOONA, Iowa – The undefeated filly Ginger Added appears to hold the best cards heading into Saturday night’s $60,000 Iowa Stallion Stakes at Prairie Meadows. Although she is 4 for 4, Ginger Added will be stretching out around two turns for the first time in the mile-and-70-yard race,

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Roxy Gap should be formidable when she goes back to the grass Saturday at Woodbine in the $150,000 Ontario Damsel Stakes, a one-mile event that drew seven Ontario-bred 3-year-old fillies.

Roxy Gap was one of the leading 2-year-old fillies on the grounds last year. Her lone turf race, the allowance prep for the Natalma Stakes, was arguably her best. She led all the way to score by nearly five lengths, earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 89.

Longshot Slew City Boy edged past favorite Buster Jones in late stretch to win the $87,350 Governor's at Indiana Downs Wednesday evening. Buster Jones led to the final stages and finished second, 5 1/4 lengths in front of Purely Amature in third.

Trained by Bill Hall and ridden by Azael De Leon, the 3-year-old Slew City Boy bested six other statebred colts and geldings in the one-mile turf event. He covered the distance in 1:39.53 and returned $42.

Also, Wednesday, Jardim came from just off the early pace under Marlon St. Julien to win the $105,750 Golden Bear.

SHAKOPEE, Minn. – Canterbury Park has lost another racing card to the state government shutdown.

Wednesday evening Canterbury officials cancelled racing for Thursday, July 7, hours after filing for reconsideration of Judge Kathleen Gearin’s ruling against a motion to keep Canterbury Park open.

Operations at the track are overseen by the Minnesota Racing Commission which was closed along with nearly the rest of the state government as a result of a deadlock between the governor and state legislature over the budget.

Jockey Rosie Napravnik will be out for an indefinite period of time after suffering a broken left wrist Wednesday in a spill in the eighth race at Delaware Park, according to her agent, Mark Mace.

Napravnik was admitted to Christiana Hospital near the track and was scheduled to undergo surgery Thursday morning, Mace said.

"She’ll be out for a while," said Mace, who didn’t want to speculate on exactly how long.
