Pender Harbour went four wide on the first turn in the 1 1/16-mile test for Ontario-sired 2-year-olds, and eventually commenced a five-wide rally on the far turn under Slade Callaghan. He took dead aim at pacemaker Altius in the stretch, and made the lead nearing the sixteenth pole before drawing clear for a 2 1/4-length tally in 1:45.60.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Five minutes before the horses loaded into the starting gate for Saturday’s Grade 2 Remsen Stakes, trainer Bill Mott, standing in the Aqueduct paddock, took a deep breath and shrugged his shoulders.

“Cold or nervous?” someone asked.

McKnight Handicap on Dec. 18.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Blind Luck, the nation’s leading 3-year-old filly with five stakes wins this year, may not make her next start until the $150,000 El Encino Stakes at Santa Anita on Jan. 16, trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said on Friday.

Hollendorfer said Blind Luck may be considered for the $250,000 La Brea Stakes over seven furlongs at Santa Anita on Dec. 26, but is more likely for the El Encino.
