Still basking in the glow of reaching a huge milestone, Gerald Bennett got started on his next target by simultaneously climbing to his familiar position atop the local trainer standings at Tampa Bay Downs last week.

Bennett, the leading trainer each of the last six years at Tampa in Oldsmar, Fla., saddled two winners last Wednesday to become just the 14th trainer in North American racing history to win 4,000 races. Since then, he has been overwhelmed by congratulatory calls, texts, shout-outs, handshakes, and backslaps.

CYPRESS, Calif. - Los Alamitos stewards Luis Jauregui, Kim Sawyer, and Richard Williams used drone technology in their decision to disqualify race winner Jamming Eddy from first to fifth in Sunday’s fourth race.

After a brief inquiry, Jamming Eddy was disqualified for crowding Barristan The Bold and Fratelli on the turn of a maiden race for $35,000 to $40,000 claimers at 5 1/2 furlongs. A drone camera used for coverage on TVG showed the incident more clearly than the head-on and conventional camera angles stewards have used for decades.

CYPRESS, Calif. - Sometime in the coming weeks, the broodmare Edwina E will be sent from Paul and Zillah Reddam’s Ocean Breeze Ranch in Bonsall, Calif., to Kentucky.

The purpose will be an attempt to repeat a developing story.

Edwina E will be bred to Nyquist in early 2022, Paul Reddam said. Edwina E’s current 2-year-old, the Nyquist colt Slow Down Andy, won his graded stakes debut in Saturday’s Grade 2 Los Alamitos Futurity.

An emotional Art Sherman saddled his final runner on Friday at Los Alamitos.

Sherman, 84, announced his retirement last month, and had his last starter in the seventh race when Chasing Alchemy finished seventh.

Sherman was honored in the winner’s circle with a brief retirement ceremony attended by track owner Ed Allred, other Los Alamitos executives, and Sherman’s friends and family.

Sherman is best known for winning the 2014 Kentucky Derby with California Chrome, who was honored as Horse of the Year that season and in 2016.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Green Light Go, beaten a head by Hopeful Treasure in the Grade 3 Fall Highweight on Nov. 28, worked a half-mile in 50.31 seconds Friday morning over the Belmont Park training track. What he is training toward has not yet been decided.

Green Light Go is not nominated to next Sunday’s $100,000 Gravesend. In addition to the race being just three weeks after the Fall Highweight, Jerkens noted that he didn’t want to run Green Light Go six furlongs again. He said he only ran the horse in the Fall Highweight because there was nothing else around.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Looking to build on past success on this circuit while also hoping to build a broader client base, Parx Racing-based trainer Tyler Servis has taken stalls in New York for the winter.

Servis was allotted seven stalls at Belmont Park, where all local runners are based during Aqueduct, since that track no longer has training. Servis currently has three horses at Belmont with Perfect Day, a first-out winner at Penn National on Wednesday, and a recently purchased unraced New York-bred 2-year-old on their way.

CYPRESS, Calif. – For most jockeys, the final race of an afternoon program at Los Alamitos marks the end of the day.

For 17-year-old apprentice Diego Herrera, the last race of the afternoon represents halftime.

In recent months, particularly at the two-week Los Alamitos December Thoroughbred meeting that ends Sunday, Herrera has ridden races during afternoon and evening programs.

Beyond Brilliant, winner of the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby on Nov. 27 at Del Mar, worked a half-mile in 49.20 seconds on Friday at Santa Anita for a potential start in the Grade 2 Mathis Brothers Mile on turf on Dec. 26.

Beyond Brilliant is trained by John Shirreffs, who said the colt’s progress in the next 10 days will determine whether the Mathis Brothers Mile is an appropriate race.

The $200,000 Mathis Brothers Mile for 3-year-olds is one of six graded stakes on the Dec. 26 opening-day program at Santa Anita.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – A pair of allowance events, one each on dirt and turf, highlight Sunday’s 10-race card that kicks off with a 12:30 p.m. first post.

The ninth race drew a full field of 12 plus two also-eligibles to go a mile on the grass for a $61,000 purse and should prove a head-scratcher for handicappers as the penultimate leg of the popular Rainbow 6 sequence.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – It might have been a surprise to many that Strike Hard went postward the favorite, at 7-5, over the Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained pair of A. P.’s Secret and Skippylongstocking in last Sunday’s allowance feature. But the public got it right, with Strike Hard rallying to a convincing four-length victory over A. P.’s Secret, a result which didn’t surprise the promising 2-year-old’s trainer, Matthew Williams, in the least.
