ELMONT, N.Y. - Trainer Leah Gyarmati was happy to see Sail By show a new dimension in upsetting Saturday’s Grade 2 Miss Grillo Stakes by a length over Kinchen. She believes that will serve her well in the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf on Nov. 5 at Del Mar.

Sail By sat an up-close second to a slow pace and still showed a strong late kick that she did when she came from off the pace to win a maiden race sprinting here in the summer. She won the Miss Grillo by a length over Kinchen.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Jack Christopher exited his victory in Saturday’s Grade 1 Champagne Stakes in good order, according to Dan Stupp, the assistant to trainer Chad Brown, and the unbeaten 2-year-old will be pointed to the $2 million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile on Nov. 5 at Del Mar.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Art Collector and Maxfield, the 1-2 finishers from Saturday’s Grade 1 Woodward Stakes at Belmont Park, will go their separate ways for the short term, but plans call for them to meet again in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 6 at Del Mar.

Art Collector, who scored a front-running, 1 1/2-length victory over Maxfield in the Woodward, on Sunday shipped to Saratoga, where trainer Bill Mott has most of his better horses stabled. He will continue to train in Saratoga before shipping to California, likely in time to get one work in over Del Mar’s surface.

ARCADIA, Cali. - Pinehurst, the winner of the Grade 1 Del Mar Futurity on Sept. 6, will have his next start in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Del Mar on Nov. 5, trainer Bob Baffert confirmed Sunday.

Pinehurst is unbeaten in two starts – a maiden race at five furlongs on Aug. 1 and the $300,500 Del Mar Futurity at seven furlongs by 4 1/2 lengths. The BC Juvenile is run at 1 1/16 miles.

Since the Del Mar Futurity, Pinehurst has had two published workouts, including a half-mile in 51 seconds at Santa Anita on Sept. 27.

ARCADIA, Calif. - About the time Dr. Schivel was rolling down the stretch ahead of five rivals in Saturday’s Grade 2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship, trainer Mark Glatt noticed something amiss - jockey Flavien Prat was riding without a right rein.

“It wasn’t good,” Glatt said.

Prat expertly managed the dire situation, with Dr. Schivel winning by 3 1/4 lengths over Flagstaff. The victory confirmed Dr. Schivel’s status as California’s top contender for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Del Mar on Nov. 6.

Two Emmys, who upset Domestic Spending winning the Grade 1, $600,000 Mister D. Stakes on Aug. 14 at Arlington, was shipped from Arlington to Keeneland on Friday and will start there in one of two October races.

Trainer and co-owner Hugh Robertson said Two Emmys was nominated to the $750,000 Keeneland Turf Mile on Oct. 9, a race for which he is being considered, but is more likely to run in the $150,000 Sycamore Stakes over 1 1/2 miles on Oct. 22.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Gulfstream Park issued a press release late Friday announcing the suspensions of five trainers found to have been in violation of the racetrack’s clenbuterol restrictions. Gulfstream Park enacted the rule at the beginning of the 2020/2021 Championship meet to “further address and implement improved safety, transparency, and accountability standards.”

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – The Tapeta era at Gulfstream Park kicked off Thursday with four of the eight races on the opening-day program of the fall meet decided over the newly installed synthetic surface.

Trainer Kathleen O’Connell, the second-winningest female trainer in history and a Florida mainstay for the past several decades, had the honor of sending out the first winner over the Tapeta track when Emoji Guy captured the first race under jockey Edwin Gonzalez.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – While the other top contenders for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies on Nov. 5 at Del Mar were scheduled to have their final prep races this weekend or next, Hidden Connection got in her first workout toward the $2 million race when breezing a half-mile in 48.20 seconds on Thursday at Churchill.

The trainer who won the marquee races at the 2020 Keeneland fall meet and the 2021 Kentucky Downs meet is based primarily at the Thoroughbred Training Center in Lexington, Ky.. In and of itself, that’s quite an upset.

Paulo Lobo, best known for winning the 2002 Kentucky Oaks with Farda Amiga, is the trainer of Ivar, winner of the $750,000 Shadwell Turf Mile at Keeneland last October, and Imperador, winner of the $715,105 Kentucky Turf Cup on Sept. 11 at Kentucky Downs.
