ARCADIA, Calif. – The Factor, the track-record holder for six furlongs at Santa Anita, is tentatively scheduled to start in Sunday’s Grade 2, $150,000 San Vicente Stakes at Santa Anita after working seven furlongs at Hollywood Park on Monday.

The Factor was timed in 1:24.40, after splits of 35.60 seconds for three furlongs and six furlongs in 1:11.60, according to Hollywood Park clockers.

“Right now, he looks good,” trainer Bob Baffert said. “The way he looks right now, he’d run unless something changes my mind.”

NEW ORLEANS - Drosselmeyer's 4-year-old debut will be delayed while the horse recovers from a minor virus that infected him last week. The illness will prevent Drosselmeyer, winner of the 2010 Belmont Stakes, from shipping from trainer Bill Mott's Payson Park base in Florida to Fair Grounds for Saturday's Mineshaft Handicap, as had been planned.

"He's better," Mott said Monday. "Just a little virus, I suppose."

Drosselmeyer has not yet resumed training, and Mott said no specific race was yet being targeted for Drosselmeyer's comeback.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – J P’s Gusto geared up for a start in the Grade 3, $250,000 Southwest at Oaklawn Park on Feb. 21, when he breezed six furlongs in hand in 1:15.60 on Monday morning. It was his first local work since arriving in town Wednesday. He went just after 7 a.m. Central.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark.-  Leading trainer Randy Morse can do no wrong this meet at Oaklawn Park.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. -   Hilda’s Passion used her inside post and high speed to dominate Sunday’s $150,000 Hurricane Bertie at Gulfstream Park, leading throughout en route to a 2 1/2- length victory over Ms Vanenzza in the Grade 3 stakes for fillies and mares.

Four jockeys thrown from their mounts in Sunday's ninth race at Aqueduct all appeared to escape serious injury.

Jockeys Brian Pedroza and Charlie Amaro were both taken to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where X-rays taken on both riders were negative, according to Steve Rushing, agent for Pedroza. Rushing also represents Ramon Dominguez, who went to the hospital after the races and spoke with Rushing.

Meanwhile, jockeys Nazario Alvarado and Abel Lezcano were able to walk away from the spill and did not have to go to the hospital.

Maryland-based shipper Deputy Daney, stepping up in class after being claimed for $25,000, used his speed to open up a big lead and held on for a 1 1/4-length victory in Sunday’s $58,800 Always Run Lucky Stakes at Aqueduct.

The $150,000 San Vicente Stakes at Santa Anita next Sunday could produce a few starters for the $250,000 San Felipe Stakes on March 12.

The Grade 2 San Vicente, run over seven furlongs, is expected to feature Jaycito, the winner of the Grade 1 Norfolk Stakes last fall who has not started since finishing a troubled sixth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs in November.
