ARCADIA, Calif. - Mark Casse, the leading trainer at the current Woodbine meet, will have a stable at Santa Anita this winter, he said Friday.

Casse said that approximately 15 to 20 horses will be sent to Santa Anita at the conclusion of the Woodbine meeting in early December.

"In the last few years, we've had more [Kentucky] Derby and Oaks-type horses," he said. "We've got better horses, turf horses and hopefully Derby prospects. To me, it looks like it's a place to come for those type of horses.

Trainer Kari Craddock has dominated the Oklahoma-bred stakes program this season at Remington Park. She won three of the eight statebred stakes run on the Oklahoma Classics Day program last month, and on Sunday will attempt to add to her statebred accomplishments with Steal Your Face in the $50,000 Osage Hills.

The five-furlong turf sprint for Oklahoma-breds is led by two-time defending champ Marq French.

Princess Composer held off the late-charging duo of Easy Tee and Linda’s Lace to win the 14th running of the $100,000 Merrillville at Hoosier Park on Friday.

Jockey Jose Camejo had Princess Composer on the outside and back through quick opening fractions in the six-furlong Merrillville. The 6-year-old mare rallied into the stretch and had a clear lead late but began to drift in the final yards under right-handed urging and held on to win by only a neck.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Just Rushing and Ice Bear, who finished third and fourth in the $1 million Woodbine Mile, will meet again here Sunday in the $100,000 Labeeb.

The Labeeb, an overnight stakes a one mile on turf, is the supporting feature to the $250,000 Cup and Saucer, which will be run over 1 1/16 miles of grass on the final day of turf racing at the meeting.

Just Rushing and Ice Bear both have raced once since the Sept. 7 Woodbine Mile.

Jack Nicholl, racing manager at Northlands Park from 1987 to 1994, passed away on Oct. 17 at the age of 72 at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta.

The four winning pick six tickets at Belmont Park on Wednesday each were worth $590,566. The day began with a four-day carryover of $1,019,102 and an additional $2,420,192 was bet into the pool.

There were two winning favorites in the first five legs of the wager - Winthrop House ($5.80) in the first race in the sequence and Tempest Strom ($6.10) in the third - but also several more difficult selections - Stayawaystella ($31.40), The Shaughraun ($19), and Mesa Girl ($11.40).

LEXINGTON, Ky. - If Mambo in Seattle is to prove best Saturday as the favorite in the meet-closing feature at Keeneland, the Grade 3 Fayette Stakes, he will do so against a group with considerably more success than he has had over Polytrack.

Among the opposition in the $150,000 Fayette is Dominican, winner of the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes at the 2007 spring meet; Jade's Revenge, winner of the 2007 Ben Ali and 2008 Fort Harrod in his only two starts over the Keeneland Poly; Minister's Joy, the 2007 Ben Ali runner-up; and Stream Cat, the 2007 Fayette runner-up behind Go Between.

Churchill Downs Inc. will begin offering a multi-track Super High Five wager between two of its tracks when the company’s flagship track opens its 26-day fall meet Sunday in Louisville, Ky.

Called the Z-5, the wager will alternate between Churchill and Calder every day, beginning with the third race at Churchill, moving to the sixth race at Calder, and finishing with the last race at Churchill. Any Super High Five carryover applies to the next race, or the next day, whenever no tickets are sold using the correct combination of the first five finishers.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Jockey Justin Shepherd left Remington Park on Tuesday headed for Santa Anita, where he will ride Sing Baby Sing in Saturday's $2 million Breeders' Cup Sprint. It will be the first mount in the championship series for the 22-year-old rider, who traveled to Keeneland and upset the Grade 3 Phoenix with the Remington-based horse on Oct. 4. The race was the synthetic surface debut for Sing Baby Sing, who was 26-1.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Trainer Mark Frostad and the Sam-Son Farm contingent will be at Santa Anita on Saturday to cheer on Grand Adventure, their entrant in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.

But Frostad and Sam-Son also will be keeping the home fires burning with Windward Islands here at Woodbine in Saturday's Grade 2, $250,000 Sky Classic.

Windward Islands, a Kentucky-bred 4-year-old gelding, will be making just his second start of the season in the Sky Classic, a 1 3/8-mile turf race.
