The New York Racing Association will honor the 10-year-old gelding Evening Attire with a day in his honor on Oct. 25 at Belmont. Highlighting the day will be a public appearance by Evening Attire, who won 15 of 69 starts and $2,977,130. His biggest victory came in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont in 2001.

Evening Attire was retired with a soft-tissue injury that was discovered on the morning of a scheduled start in the Point Given Stakes at Monmouth on Sept. 20. He will retire to Akindale Farm in Pawling, N.Y.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Goldikova, the winner of two consecutive Group 1 races in France this summer, will start in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita on Oct. 25, trainer Freddie Head said Monday.

A 3-year-old filly, Goldikova had been considered a candidate for the BC Filly and Mare Turf on Oct. 24, but Head said he prefers to keep her racing at a mile.

"I think the Mile will be her race," Head said in a telephone interview. "The Mile is her best chance."

Leading rider Russell Baze strained his back while guiding Rummysecret War to victory in Saturday’s first race at Golden Gate Fields and had to take off the rest of his mounts.

Although listed as day-to-day, he wound up missing Sunday’s seven mounts as Frank Alvarado, second in the standings with 15 wins behind Baze’s 23, rode three winners: Galinda ($5.20) in the second, Bradford Falls ($3.80) in the third, and Win to Win ($6.20) in the seventh.

Baze returned to action Monday at Golden Gate, where he had six scheduled mounts.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Shadwell Stable is considering one more race for Alwajeeha, the 3-year-old filly who carried the familiar blue-and-white silks of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid al-Maktoum to an 11-1 upset Saturday in the final Grade 1 race of the Keeneland fall meet, the Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Trainer Roger Attfield and jockey Richard Dos Ramos have been winning stakes races here together since the mid-1980s.

And the two staged a particularly lucrative revival here last weekend when Sand Cove captured Sunday's $125,800 Bunty Lawless after Palladio prevailed in Saturday's $154,200 Durham Cup.

Sand Cove, a 3-year-old colt owned by Ralph Johnson, recorded his third consecutive stakes score in the Bunty Lawless, a one-mile turf race for Ontario-sired 3-year-olds and up.

Leading rider Russell Baze strained his back while guiding Rummysecret War to victory in Saturday's first race at Golden Gate Fields and had to take off the rest of his mounts.

ALBANY, Calif. - When Golden Gate Fields gets back in the stakes business Saturday, it will present a race that is expected to include five 2008 stakes winners.

The six-furlong Albany has traditionally been a strong sprint, and this year is no exception, even though the $50,000 event is being carded for fillies and mares rather than as an open race.

Greg Gilchrist sends out a seemingly unbeatable tandem of High Resolve and Victorina, but connections for Kalookan Dancer, Gadget Queen, and Unspoken Word indicate they will also run.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Sand Cove ($4.60) notched his third consecutive Woodbine stakes on Sunday in the $125,800 Bunty Lawless.

Sand Cove established modest fractions under Richard Dos Ramos in the one-mile test for Ontario-sired runners. He began to draw off at the three-sixteenths pole, and prevailed by 3 1/4 lengths over Gone Trajectory. Knight’s Cause was a stalking third in the seven-horse field.

It was the fourth victory in the Bunty Lawless for trainer Roger Attfield, who teamed up with Dos Ramos to take Saturday’s Durham Cup Stakes with Palladio.

STICKNEY, Ill. – The owners of Hawthorne Race Course and other investors will submit a bid to the Illinois Gaming Board for an Illinois casino license this week, and the Chicago-area racetrack would commence a $500 million redevelopment project if awarded the license, Hawthorne president Tim Carey said Monday.

FRESNO, Calif. - Top Emblem ($11.20) unveiled a new running style as he scored the first stakes victory of his career in winning the $64,000 Bull Dog Stakes at the Big Fresno Fair on Sunday.

Top Emblem, who faded to seventh in the Cal Cup Classic after sitting closest to the pace through six furlongs just seven days before, was last down the backstretch in the one-mile Bull Dog as trainer Ron Sticka changed tactics with the 4-year-old Old Topper gelding who usually shows speed. He had run second in an Aug. 16 Del Mar allowance race when he lagged early.
