ARCADIA, Calif. – There were 157 works at Santa Anita on Thursday, a mere two on the infield training track. But one of them turned heads. Blind Luck, expected to head the field on Sunday in the Grade 2, $150,000 La Canada Stakes, worked a half-mile on the bullring in 49.20 seconds with jockey Rafael Bejarano. Considering all her recent works here had been on the main track, what was up with that?

Southern California form typically translates pretty well almost anywhere, especially to a track such as Turfway Park in the wintertime. Or at least Jimmy Corrigan is hoping so.
Corrigan bought and now trains a mare named Dance to My Tune, a 7-year-old who has earned $536,906 and will be part of a big field Saturday night in the $50,000 Likely Exchange Stakes at Turfway in Florence, Ky.
Houston to Dubai. That’s that goal for Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner Chamberlain Bridge, who will launch his 2011 campaign Saturday night at Sam Houston in the $75,000 Rail Splitter. If things go well for the horse, it will be on to the Group 2, $1 million Al Quoz Sprint at Meydan Race Course in Dubai on March 26.
Penn National Gaming Inc. will relocate its two Ohio racetracks, including Beulah Park, to cities in Ohio that are not already slated for casinos if the state government allows it to operate slot machines at the facilities, the company told the Ohio State Racing Commission on Thursday.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Though soundly beaten in three previous trips to New York for stakes, Coax Liberty looks well spotted finally to break through in a black-type event when she runs in Saturday’s $65,000 Dearly Precious Stakes for 3-year-old filly sprinters at Aqueduct.

Grade 2 Robert Lewis - Santa Anita - Race 6
Est. Post Time: 6:05 p.m. Eastern - Feb. 12, 2010
ARCADIA, Calif. – Going into the Sham Stakes last month here at Santa Anita, trainer Steve Asmussen and his local assistant, Scott Blasi, leaned pretty hard on Tapizar. Between the ship to California from Kentucky, and a step up into stakes company, they wanted to leave nothing to chance.
The five inches of snow that fell in Hot Springs, Ark., on Wednesday forced Oaklawn Park to cancel its second straight morning of training Thursday, but track officials are attempting to resume racing Friday.
A rash of winter storms has forced Oaklawn to miss five consecutive race dates in the last week. The latest hit was Wednesday’s snowstorm, which led to the cancellation of Thursday’s card. In all, Oaklawn has lost seven of its first 17 race dates. Oaklawn has not raced since sunday, Jan. 30.
Unlike her six opponents in Saturday’s $75,000 Maryland Racing Media Stakes at Laurel Park, the 4-year-old filly Kit Kats Luck has proven she can handle 1 1/8 miles. What’s less clear, however, is whether she’s fit enough to go nine furlongs after turning in the worst performance of her 13-race career.
