Trainer Kelly Breen has been criss-crossing the country this week working fillies for stakes, and Saturday morning he will be at Delta Downs to watch Truth and Justice go through her final preparations for the $125,000 My Trusty Cat.

The seven-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies is one of six stakes worth more than $900,000 at Delta on Nov. 6. It is the Delta Jackpot Preview Night program, with a number of the stakes expected to produce starters for the $1.6 million Jackpot card Dec. 4. The My Trusty Cat is a prep for the Grade 3, $500,000 Delta Princess.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - It's tough to approach Saturday's River Memories Stakes without citing ifs, ands, or buts.

The River Memories, a $100,000 overnight stakes for fillies and mares, is scheduled to be run over one mile on the turf course. But with rain in the forecast, it would be no surprise if the River Memories were moved to the main track.

That would dramatically change the complexion of the 12-horse field.

Overnight purses at the upcoming Hollywood Park autumn meeting will be lower than last year in many categories, but purses will be higher for starter allowance races.

WHO'S HOT

Much has been made over last year's Breeders' Cup and how it may have aided runners from Southern California, who are accustomed to synthetic footing, and Europe, who are accustomed to turf and seem to handle the surface switch.

WHO'S HOT

Jockeys

Leandro Goncalves rode three winners Saturday. Two of them were longshots. Rahystrada won the eighth race and paid $32. One race later, in the Grade 2 Raven Run, Goncalves scored with Satans Quick Chick at $48.80. Goncalves' fans must have been on board because the $2 daily double paid $436 compared with $780.80 for the parlay.

WHO'S HOT

Four jockeys turned in hat tricks in the first four days of the Tropical at Calder meeting. Three of the jockeys - Luis Arango, Cecilio Penalba, and Daniel Coa - were not among the top six riders in the local standings at the recently concluded Calder session.

Penalba had 12 victories all year before his breakout performance Oct. 23, which included wins on both ends of the late daily double. One of the wins came aboard Labadeel in a rare appearance for trainer Marty Wolfson in the featured ninth race.

WHO TO WATCH

Jockeys

Calvin Borel: Few jockeys ride the Churchill Downs main track as well as Borel, whose rail-hugging tendencies are perfectly suited for the track's quarter-mile stretch. Seemingly whenever possible, he will quickly guide his mount to the fence, advance while saving ground on the turn, and then bravely scrape the paint on the rail for the long run to the wire.

WHO'S HOT

Ramon Dominguez

Things looked a bit uncertain heading into the final week at Belmont, but Ramon Dominguez rode like a man possessed to secure his fifth straight meet title in New York this year.

After toppling perennial Delaware Park kingpin Scott Lake for that track's trainer's title, Cody Autrey has found a new world to try to conquer. Autrey began setting up shop in barn 6 at Aqueduct this week, hoping to make an impact on New York racing this fall and winter.

Approximately 24 horses were scheduled to arrive at Aqueduct from Delaware on Thursday, with about a dozen more to come in the weeks ahead.
