HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Jon Court's mug will be everywhere on Friday. He will spend the afternoon riding at Oaklawn, then later that night will be seen on Animal Planet in the new reality series "Jockeys," which debuts at 9 p.m. Eastern. The series was shot in Southern California, where Court had been based the last five years. This past month, however, he and his family decided to return to the Midwest, and in the spring Court will be based in Kentucky.

La Primera Del Ano Derby winner Forgive Him has the class edge against five filly and mare rivals on Friday night at Los Alamitos in the $16,000 Huntington Harbour overnight handicap, a race stronger than the purse indicates.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Saratoga Sinner, winner of Saturday's Grade 3 Holy Bull Stakes, came out of the race with a chip in his left knee and is off the Kentucky Derby trail.

Saratoga Sinner, a son of Harlan's Holiday, is trained by Eddie Kenneally for the Lally Stable. A winner of a maiden race going nine furlongs earlier in the meet, Saratoga Sinner earned a career-best 96 Beyer Speed Figure for his victory in the nine-furlong Holy Bull.

Turf Paradise in Phoenix will raise purses 5 percent across the board beginning Friday under an agreement with horsemen to reduce a significant purse underpayment, officials for the racetrack and horsemen said Tuesday.

ARCADIA, Calif. - If he is not the top 3-year-old in California, he is the top one missing from the Kentucky Derby early nominations list. Mr. Hot Stuff's convincing maiden win Sunday in his fifth start catapulted the full brother to Colonel John onto the Derby trail, even if the first deadline for Derby nominations has come and gone.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Old Fashioned rolled into the Oaklawn Park backstretch at 1:55 p.m. Tuesday, and Rachel Alexandra had a significant work here Sunday, signs that the track's first two major stakes for 3-year-olds are right around the corner.

Old Fashioned, an early favorite for the Kentucky Derby, is targeting the Grade 3, $250,000 Southwest on Feb. 16. Rachel Alexandra, one of the top candidates for the Kentucky Oaks, put in a five-furlong drill in preparation for the $50,000 Martha Washington on Feb. 15.

Trainers Greg Gilchrist and Steve Specht are loading up for Saturday's $75,000 Campanile Stakes, a 1 1/16-mile race for fillies and mares. Gilchrist plans to send out both Sky Mystic and Victorina.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Jockey Julien Leparoux admits he really didn't know what to expect when he decided to join perhaps the toughest jockey colony in the country and ride full time at Gulfstream Park for the first time this winter. And after getting off to a bit of a slow start, the French-born rider might have been second-guessing himself for making that choice.

NEW ORLEANS - Steve Asmussen has three horses to run in the Risen Star Stakes this year, which is all well and good, but last year, Asmussen had the horse for the Risen Star. Pyro, the 4-5 favorite a year ago, did not disappoint, launching a memorable last-to-first stretch move that, alas, he was unable to duplicate the rest of his career.

So, while Asmussen has plenty of cards, he's not bluffing up his Risen Star hand. "It ain't Pyro," he said Tuesday.
