INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Zenyatta worked six furlongs in 1:13.80 on Saturday at Hollywood Park, the final workout before the 6-year-old mare will seek to extend her unbeaten streak to 19 races in the $250,000 Lady’s Secret Stakes next Saturday.

Lookin At Lucky is scheduled to be flown Wednesday on a Fed Ex flight from his Southern California base to Hoosier Park in suburban Indianapolis to run Saturday in the Grade 2, $500,000 Indiana Derby.

Trainer Bob Baffert said Lookin At Lucky, the leading candidate for top 3-year-old honors in 2010, was to have his final pre-race workout, probably at five furlongs, Sunday morning at Hollywood Park.

ALTOONA, Iowa – Trainer Glen Atkison capped off his Prairie Meadows Quarter Horse meet with a hat trick, including a win with Joezoom in the $143,250 Valley Junction Futurity.

Joezoom ($21.40), the second fastest qualifier in the race broke quickly under Jarrod Deschamp, and stayed straight and and strong to prevail over nine others by a convincing length and a quarter. The final time of 17.49 for 350 yards was earned him a 100 speed index.

Atkison also won a starter allowance and a claiming race on the card.

Until this past May, Elusive Gift had not raced on turf in nearly two years, when he was still a maiden after three starts. Two years ago is also the last time the New Zealand import Towzee won a race.

Three weeks ago, however, the prospects for both turf sprinters suddenly improved when they were involved in a blanket finish in the $250,000 Turf Monster Handicap to finish within 1 1/2 lengths of the multiple stakes winner Chamberlain Bridge, a Breeders’ Cup Sprint candidate.

Lisa’s Booby Trap returned to Finger Lakes for what was supposed to be a confidence builder following a failed one-race experiment on turf. But the locally based 3-year-old Lisa’s Booby Trap, who began her career by winning four consecutive races, struggled to finish third in a field of five fillies and mares in a no-conditions allowance race on Friday’s card.

Hawthorne Race Course will launch its fall meeting Friday, 119 years after the track near Chicago opened its doors for the first time. Things are likely to run much smoother than they did that first season.

Just weeks after the May 20, 1891, opener, rivals quickly built a new grandstand at nearby Garfield Park and went head to head with Hawthorne.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – There are 250,000 fewer reasons this year than last year for Awesome Gem to travel from Southern California to Chicago for the Hawthorne Gold Cup, and trainer Craig Dollase said Friday that Awesome Gem would stay home for the Goodwood Stakes rather than try to win the Hawthorne Gold Cup for the second year in a row.

BOSSIER CITY, La. – Don Simington will be watching his back all afternoon Sunday during the final card of the Louisiana Downs meet. He is closing in on his third consecutive local riding title, but knows it will be a fight to the finish with second-leading rider Richard Eramia.

“We’ve got three days and I’m six in front, but I don’t feel comfortable yet,” Simington, 47, said during morning training hours Friday. “It’s been a great battle with Richard. I’ve caught him a couple of times, then he’s passed me.

Five defending champions are among the 180 pre-entries for next weekend’s Jim McKay Maryland Million at Laurel Park.

All Giving in the $100,000 Distaff, Roaring Lion in the $100,000 Sprint, Natural Seven in the $100,000 Sprint Turf, Talkin About Love in the $100,000 Ladies, and Serenadia in the $50,000 Distaff Starter Handicap are expected to attempt to repeat their success from last year in the 25th annual event for the offspring of Maryland sires on Saturday, Oct. 2.

ELMONT, N.Y. − By sundown next Saturday, Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott should have a pretty good idea what kind of presence he will have in this year’s Breeders’ Cup World Championships.

Belmont Park will host five Grade 1 races next Saturday, and it appears Mott will have at least one runner in each of them.
