Jockey Omar Berrio’s return to riding from a minor stroke suffered on Dec. 30 has been postponed until next week.

Berrio was booked to ride Straightomidnight in Sunday’s first race, but was taken off the gelding on Sunday morning after failing to receive doctor’s clearance, according to steward Tom Ward.

Ward spoke with Berrio on Sunday morning. Berrio told Ward that he must undergo further consultation with doctors before being allowed to resume riding.

“The doctor wants more information,” Ward said.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - After enduring a rare oh-fer on Saturday, jockey Ramon Dominguez won three races on Sunday’s card, capped by a three-length victory aboard 4-5 favorite Quiet Giant in the $60,000 Lady On the Run Stakes at Aqueduct.

After stalking the pacesetting Wind Caper through fractions of 23.79 and 47.56 seconds, Quiet Giant and Dominguez drew on even terms with that rival at the five-sixteenths pole. Quiet Giant ran outside of Wind Caper until just inside the eighth pole when, despite attempting to lug in, she drew clear to get the relatively easy victory.

ARCADIA, Calif.-Twirling Candy, who set a seven-furlong track record in the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes on Dec. 26, breezed five furlongs in 1:00.60 at Santa Anita on Sunday.

The exercise, in company with the claimer Hammurabi, who was given the same time and the designation breezing, was the first work for Twirling Candy since the Malibu. Trainer John Sadler said that Twirling Candy missed four or five days of training in early January because of a bruised foot.

ALBANY, Calif. – X-rays were negative after Hall of Fame jockey Russell Baze injured his neck when dumped by Joffe’s Run prior to the running of the first race at Golden Gate Fields on Saturday.

Baze was taken to Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley, but the X-rays were clean. His neck was sprained and bruised, but he is listed as day-to-day and may be able to ride Sunday.

ALBANY, Calif. – Employing new tactics after a pair of wire-to-wire victories, including the Gold Rush Stakes, favored Positive Response rallied on the second turn and pulled away in the stretch to capture the $100,000 California Derby at Golden Gate Fields on Saturday.

ARCADIA, Calif.-The television screen at a certain race and sports book in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, are apparently not of the highest quality.

This was vital on Saturday afternoon for trainer Bob Baffert, who was vacationing at the Pacific Ocean resort with family and friends, but ducked into such an establishment to watch a simulcast of the $150,000 San Fernando Stakes at Santa Anita.

Shamrock Girl delivered as the favorite in a full field of 12 at Sunland Park on Saturday, when she was up for a one-length win the $125,000 La Senora. Squall Wilbud finished second in the six-furlong race for 3-year-old fillies bred in New Mexico. It was another 1 1/4 lengths back in third to Go to Gold.

Shamrock Girl ($4.60) raced in midpack in the early stages, then went on to cover six furlongs on a track rated fast in 1:10.91. Agapito Delgadillo was aboard for owner-trainer David Wolochuk.

One start after a failed turf experiment, Chief Jay returned to what he does best, running short on dirt, and upset the $60,000 John E. Jackson Memorial Stakes on Saturday at Fair Grounds.

Chief Jay outkicked pace-pressing favorite My Star Runner and was able to hold off Flashy Wise Cat to win the Jackson by a neck. The winner, a 6-year-old son of Ile St. Louis, is trained by Sam Breaux for owner Sara Citron.

All Saint hadn’t hit the board in his first three grass starts, but that apparently didn’t matter to the rejuvenated 5-year-old as he dominated Saturday’s $35,000 Cotton Fitzsimmons Mile on the turf, leading home a parade of longshots at Turf Paradise.

All Saint, owned by Pascual Gamez and trained by Wilton Whitehouse, was coming off a big front-running win in the Hank Mills Sr. Handicap at a mile on the main track here Dec. 18 and this was basically a repeat of that.

ARCADIA, Calif.- California Nectar won her second consecutive stakes of the winter-spring meeting in Saturday’s $150,000 Santa Ynez Stakes at Santa Anita, holding off a late threat from Zazu to win by a neck.
