MIAMI – Steve Dwoskin accomplished a lifelong goal during the 2010 Calder meet – winning his first ever trainer’s title to go along with yet another owner’s championship. He did it with an assortment of claiming horses and a few allowance types mixed in.

The fastest sprinter in the history of Illinois racing, age-defying Coach Jimi Lee, hasn’t actually raced in Illinois since June 2009, but the 10-year-old gelding is scheduled to make his first Hawthorne appearance in more than two years when he starts in the featured sixth race on Wednesday.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Though stakes action doesn’t begin until Thanksgiving, four allowance races, topped by a pair of open-company, $48,000 races at one mile, are on tap Wednesday as the final week of racing on the main track gets underway.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Six of seven remaining graded stakes on the 2010 New York Racing Association calendar are to be run this week, beginning with the $100,000 Fall Highweight Handicap, the traditional Thanksgiving Day feature, followed by the $150,000 Top Flight Handicap on Black Friday, and Saturday’s quartet of the Hill ‘n’ Dale Cigar Mile, Gazelle, Remsen, and Demoiselle.

NEW ORLEANS – The gang’s all here – or most of them are. Trainers Tom Amoss, Steve Asmussen, and Al Stall, New Orleans standbys, will be well represented on opening day of the Fair Grounds meet Thursday. And the fact that opening day is Thursday − the traditional Thanksgiving opener rather than the early-November start employed the last two seasons – probably has something to do with that.

VINTON, La. – Gourmet Dinner and Decisive Moment could get a rematch at Gulfstream Park.

The one-two finishers from Saturday’s Grade 3, $1 million Delta Downs Jackpot are both being considered for a start in the Grade 3, $400,000 Holy Bull on Jan. 30. The horses left Louisiana on Sunday for their Calder headquarters, with Gourmet Dinner’s 2 1/4-length win in the Jackpot earned him a career-high Beyer Figure of 93.

Based on how thoroughly Quantum Miss dominated open company maiden special weight company, she looks like a huge threat when she faces 11 Pennsylvania-bred foes in Wednesday night’s $75,000 Blue Mountain Juvenile for 2-year-old fillies at Penn National.

The six-furlong Juvenile goes as race 5 on a nine-race card that begins at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – There will be nine races on Wednesday night’s card at Woodbine Racetrack, instead of the usual eight, and Lookinoutforangels returns from a layoff in the finale, a seven-furlong Ontario-sired allowance for fillies and mares.

Lookinoutforangels went to the sidelines for nearly a year after her victory in an Ontario-sired allowance for nonwinners of two in August of 2009, and she missed the board in her first three starts at this stand.

Local jockeys Joe Crispin, Mark Anderson, Javier Matias and Troy Stillwell will represent Portland Meadows against Team Southern California in the annual XpressBet Jockey Challenge on Monday, Nov. 29.

Representing Southern California in the four-race competition with $20,000 in prize money at stake will be Joel Rosario, David Flores, Joe Talamo, and Martin Pedroza.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Eddie Kenneally swept the two allowance races on the Sunday card at Churchill Downs, and he’s coming right back to try for something similar when he sends out major contenders in two of the three allowances that dot the Wednesday card.

Kenneally will saddle Isidora in the richest race of the day, the third, a $66,060 main-track mile, before securing the tack on Flask for a $63,620 sprint that goes as the ninth of 10 races. Julien Leparoux has both calls.
