ARCADIA, Calif. - Alex Solis on Tuesday fired his longtime agent Scotty McClellan, replacing him with Brian Beach, who has been away from racing for three years.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - If you judge She's Prime by the company she has kept, she looks better than her 1-for-6 record might suggest. She's Prime looks especially good when you judge her against the company she's keeping in Friday's featured first-level New York-bred allowance at Aqueduct.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Hello Again, the undefeated winner of the $50,000 Dixie Belle for 3-year-old fillies at Oaklawn last Saturday, is set to make her two-turn debut next month in the $50,000 Martha Washington, trainer Moises Yanez said.

Hello Again came rolling from last for a half-length win in the Dixie Belle, a six-furlong race for which she earned a career-best Beyer Speed Figure of 73. She had won her maiden and a first-level allowance, both against Illinois-bred sprinters at Hawthorne, heading into the race at Oaklawn.

Aqueduct canceled Wednesday's nine-race card due to a winter storm that brought a mixture of snow, ice, and rain to the New York area. It was the second cancellation of the winter meet.

Aqueduct was to remain open for simulcasting with no charge for admission and parking.

Live racing is scheduled to resume Thursday at 12:30 p.m.

Jeff Thornbury never has won a graded stakes race in a training career dating to 1981, but he will have at least one if not two chances to notch his first graded victory on the multi-stakes card at Fair Grounds on Feb. 7. Thornbury confirmed Tuesday that 2-year-old stakes winner War Tigress will make her 3-year-old and dirt debut in the Grade 3 Silverbulletday Stakes, while recent allowance winner Mad Flatter is a possible runner in the Grade 3 Mineshaft.

Due to a continuing winter storm, Turfway Park has canceled live racing for Wednesday. The track will remain open for simulcasting. Live racing is expected to resume Thursday, with first post at 1:10 p.m. Eastern.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Lewis Lakin, breeder of Pure Clan, said Monday night that he has bought back a majority interest in the millionaire filly from IEAH Stable and Pegasus Holding Group in a private deal that closed over the weekend, making him the sole owner. Lakin originally sold majority interest in Pure Clan to IEAH last February.

Lakin is very active in breeding, while IEAH has a strong focus on racing.

In a 10-day period, seven horses have suffered fatal injuries while training at Fair Grounds, a yet to be explained spike in the mortality rate.

The recent breakdowns began when two Tom Amoss-trained horses suffered fatal injuries on Jan. 17. Another Amoss-trained horse broke down the next morning, and since then, four more horses have sustained fatal injuries while training. The most recent injury came Monday, when a Mark Casse-trained filly broke a hind pastern galloping out after a work.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - The best-known horse who's never raced is just about ready for his debut. Nicanor, a full brother to 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, could race at Gulfstream Park as soon as this weekend. Or he might wait one more week. Regardless, trainer Michael Matz said he's ready to run.

ARCADIA, Calif. - One year after a well-executed 3-year-old campaign led to victory in the Santa Anita Derby, Colonel John is having a hard time getting started as a 4-year-old.

Colonel John pulled a muscle finishing fourth in Grade 1 Malibu Stakes on Dec. 26, and the setback has knocked him out of the top races of the Santa Anita winter meet, including the Grade 2, $250,000 Strub on Feb. 7. Trainer Eoin Harty said Colonel John pulled a muscle "high on the right side of his hind end" in the Malibu.

"He's over it now, but it came at a bad time," Harty said.
