INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Hibaayeb, winner of the Grade 1 Yellow Ribbon Stakes in her U.S. debut at Hollywood Park on Oct. 2, will be ridden by Frankie Dettori in Friday’s $2 million Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Churchill Downs.

Simon Crisford, racing manager of Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin Racing, confirmed the assignment Sunday. Dettori has ridden the 3-year-old Hibaayeb in five of her 11 starts, including a victory in the Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes for fillies and mares over 1 1/2 miles on turf at Royal Ascot in England on June 17.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – By dawn Sunday, Zenyatta had already been out of her stall at trainer John Shirreffs’s stable at Hollywood Park for a 45-minute walk. It was to be the theme of her Sunday, a day after she worked six furlongs in 1:11.80 for Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs.

Zenyatta was scheduled to have three walking sessions Sunday. She was back out for another walk in the 9 o’clock hour on Sunday morning and was to be walked and grazed in the afternoon. The only unknown was how long Shirreffs and his team could delay the start of the afternoon session.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Lookin At Lucky zipped five furlongs in 59.60 seconds at Hollywood Park on Sunday, his final workout before the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs on Saturday.

Awesome Feather is cataloged as a racing/broodmare prospect and as Hip No. 10 in the Fasig-Tipton sale.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – After missing a scheduled breeze Saturday morning because of an abscess in his right-front foot, Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint hopeful Chamberlain Bridge returned to the racetrack Sunday morning, when he jogged a mile the “wrong” way, or clockwise.

The abscess, an infected puss pocket in the hoof, drained through a nail hole after Chamberlain Bridge’s shoe was removed Saturday, Calhoun said.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Europeans have entered the building.

After three Godolphin-owned or associated horses arrived Saturday afternoon following a cush private charter flight, the other 19 Euros intended for Breeders’ Cup races next weekend came on five different Sallee horse vans, getting to the Churchill backstretch later Saturday night. Among the travelers, some of whom spent almost an entire day in transit, were two-time BC Mile winner Goldikova and Workforce, the Arc-winning favorite for the Turf.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Godolphin stablemates Vineyard Haven and Gayego both put in their final workouts Sunday morning at Belmont Park in preparation for Saturday’s $1 million Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile.

Stolis Winner’s bid to become Quarter Horse racing’s all-time leading earner fell three-quarters of a length short Saturday night at Lone Star Park, when he finished second to King Brimmerton in the $25,000 B.F. Phillips Jr. Handicap.

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Ontrack business was up, while all-sources handle was down marginally during the 17-day fall meet that ended Saturday at Keeneland.

Buoyed in part by terrific weather for virtually the entire meet, ontrack attendance averaged 13,524 and was up nearly 20 percent over corresponding dates at the 2009 fall meet, while ontrack wagering, including imported simulcasts, averaged just more than $1.1 million per card, up nearly 9 percent. However, wagering from all sources averaged $6,916,954, down 1 percent.

He’s Bonafide upset the Bucks Boy Handicap for the second year in a row, while River Bear continued a longstanding trend of showing up for the big money, winning the Lightning Jet Handicap under a crafty ride. Those are old hands to Illinois-bred stakes racing, but the younger generation also showed promise Saturday at Hawthorne Race Course.
