The decision to cancel Wednesday's racing because of insufficient entries is seen by racing secretary Martin Panza as an isolated incident, and unlikely to occur again through the remainder of the spring-summer meeting, which runs until July 18.

"Anything is possible, but I wouldn't think so," he said of the possibility of future cancellations. "At some point, some of these stables that haven't started any 2-year-olds, they'll have to run."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. -Watching Gallant Son rally from fifth to win his first graded stakes in the Grade 3 Inglewood Handicap at Hollywood Park made a believer of the colt's trainer, Frank Lucarelli.

In the early months of the year, Lucarelli wanted to test Gallant Son in an important turf race. The win by 1 3/4 lengths proved that Gallant Son fits in big grass races such as Monday's $250,000 Shoemaker Mile.

"Months ago, I wasn't sure he belongs in a Grade 1 turf race," he said on Friday.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Hot Dixie Chick will be facing older fillies and mares for the first time when she starts Monday in the Grade 3, $100,000 Winning Colors Stakes at Churchill Downs.

The 3-year-old Hot Dixie Chick was one of the most precocious fillies in her class, winning the Grade 3 Schuylerville and Grade 1 Spinaway last summer at Saratoga. But her connections declined to run her over the synthetic surface at Santa Anita last fall in the Breeders' Cup, and more than six months had elapsed when she returned to win the Prima Donna Stakes in March at Oaklawn Park easily.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Pincelada is fast, and she finishes. Can she run on grass?

Trainer Jorge Periban has little doubt that Pincelada will handle a surface change Sunday at Hollywood Park in the six-furlong, $60,000 Manhattan Beach Stakes. A turf sprint for 3-year-old fillies, the Manhattan Beach will test her trainer's pedigree research.

"I'm moving to the turf because she has a pedigree for grass. Her momma won four races on grass," Periban said, referring to Flo's Z Fury, who won 4 of 15 on turf, including a stakes.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Quality Road will face seven challengers when he returns to the races for the first time in four months in Monday's Grade 1, $500,000 Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park.

Quality Road, the 124-pound highweight, will be making his first start since he won the Grade 1 Donn Handicap by 12 3/4 lengths at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 6, with a season-high Beyer Speed Figure of 121. He will break from post 7 under John Velazquez.

Stonehouse, who was named champion Illinois-bred older horse in 2009, died suddenly of colic on Monday evening, his trainer, Spanky Broussard, said.

Broussard said Stonehouse began showing signs of discomfort mid-afternoon Monday, and was treated for colic and taken by van to an area clinic. But Stonehouse's condition rapidly deteriorated, and he was put down around 7 p.m., according to Broussard. It was discovered that Stonehouse had been suffering from a fully twisted intestine, a dire condition for a horse.

Timbavati, who won a maiden special weight at Santa Anita in January, will make his Arapahoe Park debut Sunday in the $30,000 Inaugural. The six-furlong race drew a field of eight 3-year-olds, including the undefeated Danzip.

Train Rider Blues loves Ruidoso Downs, where last year he won a pair of six-figure futurities for Thoroughbreds. Sunday, he's back in town and should go favored in the $40,000 Norgor Derby, a six-furlong race that is part of opening weekend at Ruidoso.

Train Rider Blues will be making his first start since March. He worked three furlongs in a bullet 36 seconds at Ruidoso on May 22.

"He really likes it up here," said Terry Walker, who trains Train Rider Blues for Freda McSwane and Joe Walters. "He's had a lot of results up here."

FORT ERIE, Ontario - Jockey Krista Carignan, just a few days short of her 22nd birthday, has much to celebrate.

Heading into this week's action Carignan leads the rider standings here with 16 wins, well clear of rivals Rui Pimentel and Anthony Stephen, who both have nine wins.

Carignan, who last year spent time at both Woodbine and Fort Erie, decided to give this track her full attention for the 2010 meet.

Trainer Neil Terraciano has appealed a 60-day suspension and a $1,000 fine handed him by the New York stewards after a horse who ran under his name had a higher than acceptable level of carbon dioxide in his blood, something usually associated with the administering of milkshakes. A milkshake is a mixture of bicarbonate of soda, sugar, and electrolytes, a combination thought to relieve fatigue.

The horse, Martha's Mandate, finished last in the first race on May 16 at Belmont Park.
