INGLEWOOD, Calif. - While the racing season in Southern California remains a 12-month continuum, a summer cutback in racing days at Hollywood Park and Del Mar reveals a challenge that will spill into autumn as tracks struggle to provide a quality product.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Hooh Why showed she would be a filly to reckon with here at Woodbine last November when she finished a close second facing males in the 1 1/16- mile Display Stakes.
On Sunday, Hooh Why returned as a Grade 1 winner and had all the answers under jockey Emile Ramsammy when she defeated fellow 3-year-old fillies in the $168,600 La Lorgnette at the same distance.
AUBURN, Wash. Front-running sensation Claire Annette rolled to a 4 3/4-length victory Sunday in the $30,000 Hastings Park Handicap for fillies and mares at Emerald Downs.
Unbeaten and never headed in her past six starts, Claire Annette sprinted six furlongs in 1:08.60 to equal the stakes record set by Private Dreams in 2006. Ridden by Joe Crispin for trainer Connie Bouslaugh, the 6-year-old mare paid $4.80 as the betting favorite in a field of seven. Elusive Horizon finished second after racing close up throughout. Longshot Judicature closed for third.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario--Hooh Why ($3.80) held off a closing 6-1 shot Tasty Temptation to take the $168,600 La Lorgnette Stakes at Woodbine Sunday.
Hooh Why, who captured the Grade 1 Ashland in April and was scratched from Friday's Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan at Pimlico in favor of the La Lorgnette, banked $90,000 for the partnership of Mark Hoffman and Derby Daze Farm.
AUBURN, Wash. - Longtime West Coast trainer Craig Roberts died Saturday at age 78. He had been in poor health since suffering two strokes last winter, and was rehabilitating at a Seattle-area nursing facility in recent weeks when he fell ill with pneumonia.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Front-runner Kizzy's Chaos will face a daunting class hurdle if he runs July 11 in the Hollywood Gold Cup, and at the 1 1/4-mile distance of the Grade 1 race, he would only be getting warmed up.
Kizzy's Chaos led start to finish Sunday in the 1 5/8-mile, $100,000 Gallant Man Handicap on Sunday at Hollywood Park; the $14.40 upset establishes him as the top stayer in California.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Red Arrow scored a front-running $18.80 upset in the Grade 3 Los Angeles Handicap on Saturday at Hollywood Park, but the 6-year-old's low-rated win in the six-furlong Los Angeles will add no stability to the West Coast sprint division.
Red Arrow and jockey Joe Talamo took advantage of a paceless field, made the lead even after a slow start, and scored a front-running win in an ordinary 1:08.92. Stakes-caliber sprinters normally run .40 to .60 of a seconds faster on Cushion Track.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Hooh Why ($3.80) held off the closing 6-1 shot Tasty Temptation to take the $168,600 La Lorgnette Stakes at Woodbine on Sunday.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Front-runner Kizzy's Chaos would face a daunting class hurdle July 11, but at the 1 1/4-mile distance of the Grade 1 Hollywood Gold Cup, he would only be getting warmed up.
Kizzy's Chaos led start to finish Sunday in the 1 5/8-mile, $100,000 Gallant Man Handicap on Sunday at Hollywood Park; the $14.40 upset establishes him as the top stayer in California.
However, trainer Vladimir Cerin and owner Robert Alexander will consider loftier goals than another anonymous main-track marathon.
