GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas – The presence of stakes winners Kick On, One Call, and J J’s Indy spice up Saturday’s featured allowance at Lone Star Park, with the three to meet at a mile and a sixteenth on turf. The race is part of a card that includes an appearance by Hint of Majic, a rare Palomino-colored Thoroughbred; the turf debut of If Ever, a half-brother to multiple Grade 2 winner Wasted Tears; and the career debut of Heckofahit, a half-brother to graded stakes-winning sprinter Hollywood Hit.

DRF Past Performances
INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Courageous Cat makes his second career start in Southern California in Saturday’s $300,000 Shoemaker Mile at Hollywood Park. A performance anything near his first start on this circuit, back in fall 2009, will make the multiple stakes winner nearly impossible to beat.
ELMONT, N.Y. – Convocation has run some winning races in graded stakes competition, but to date has yet to win such an event. Saturday’s Grade 2, $300,000 Suburban at Belmont Park will be his latest – and perhaps best – chance to win a prestigious race.
OPELOUSAS, La. – Star Guitar will be going for his third straight Louisiana Showcase Classic Saturday night at Evangeline Downs when he heads an all-star cast of Louisiana-breds slated to go postward on Showcase Night. The 10-stakes program is limited exclusively to horses bred in the Bayou State and will offer purses of more than $1 million. First post time is set for 5:40 p.m. Central.
AUBURN, Wash. – The holiday weekend kicks into high gear Saturday at Emerald Downs with a nine-race card, and while there’s no stakes race on the program, the feature race offers all kinds of possibilities for handicappers. First post time is 2 p.m. Pacific.
INGLEWOOD, Calif.-Mike Smith walked from the racetrack to the jockeys’ room at Hollywood Park with his head down, talking to no one.
The stewards had just disqualified Amazombie from first to third in the Grade 3 Los Angeles Handicap on May 30, and Smith was in no mood to discuss the race.
“I thought he ran a great race,” Smith said of the Los Angeles Handicap. “It was unfortunate that he got taken down.
Trainer Butch Reid is well positioned in the two $75,000 stakes, both at seven furlongs, for 3-year-old Pennsylvania-breds on Saturday at Parx Racing.
Reid sends out Bibblesman, the 8-5 morning-line favorite, in the Peppy Addy. He has two strong contenders in the Caught in the Rain for fillies.
Bibblesman heads into the Peppy Addy in fine form, with two dominant wins and a neck loss in his last three outings, all on off tracks.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Bear’s Chill will try to regroup off his fade job in the Plate Trial Stakes this Saturday at Woodbine in the $150,000 Achievement, a six-furlong stakes for Ontario-bred 3-year-olds.
Bear’s Chill looked like a contender for last Sunday’s Queen’s Plate following his back-to-back front-running scores in a pair of seven-furlong sprints, most notably in the Queenston Stakes, where he earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 97.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Is Niigon’s Touch ready for the bright lights of the Bison City?
The Bison City, of course, is Buffalo and the stakes of that name was more logically situated at Fort Erie, where it was run from 1954 through 1976 and from 1980 through 2006.
Be that as it may, the $250,000 Bison City will be run here at Woodbine on Sunday, and Niigon’s Touch will be looking to score her third victory in as many career starts while trying stakes company for the first time in the 1 1/16-mile race for Canadian-bred 3-year-old fillies.
FORT ERIE, Ontario – Quarter Horses return in spades to Fort Erie on this July holiday weekend for the Festival of Racing.
Ten races are on the schedule for Saturday, followed by mixed cards of Thoroughbreds and Quarter Horses Sunday and Monday. Tuesday will feature the standard eight-race Thoroughbred card.
Eric Johnston, Quarter Horse racing secretary for this weekend meeting and again for the October schedule, arrived last Sunday from Houston to set up the action. He is looking forward to some competitive races.
