AURORA, Colo. - Trainer Jon Arnett will saddle a pair of formidable runners in Sunday's $20,000 Arapahoe Park Sprint Handicap. The Arnett trainees Zamnation and Absolutely True, who finished first and second in this six-furlong event last summer, figure to battle it out again.

CALGARY, Alberta – Churchbridge stretches out to a mile for the first time this season and drops a notch in price to head a field of six older horses in a $22,000 claimer that runs as the featured eighth race on Sunday’s nine-race program at Stampede Park.

Churchbridge drew the rail with Desmond Bryan up and will be forwardly placed in this field, which lacks a true front-runner. Several of his Churchbridge’s one-mile efforts last year were good enough to win a race of this kind, and the 7-year-old gelding, trained by Danny Jones, will attract plenty of support.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Tiger Heat will have a lot to overcome in order to win the ninth race at Hastings Sunday. Nonetheless, he looks like the one to beat in the 6 1/2-furlong entry-level allowance, which has a $50,000 claiming option.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Brownie Points could head next to Hollywood Park for the CashCall Mile, or to Churchill Downs for the Locust Grove, or to Prairie Meadows for the Iowa Distaff. Her connections are looking at several options following her authoritative win Monday in the Grade 3, $200,000 Ouija Board Distaff Handicap at Lone Star Park.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - There may be more ability in the 3-year-old filly Mini Do than trainer Julio Canani realized.

Since she began racing on turf earlier this spring, Mini Do is unbeaten in two starts - a front-running win in a maiden race in March and a late rally to win an optional claimer on April 30.

"She surprised me the other day when she came from behind," Canani said.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Trainer Terry Jordan is expecting Alpine Garden to bounce back Saturday with a much better effort after her last-place finish in the $50,000 M.R. Jenkins Memorial Handicap at Stampede Park on April 27. Despite her poor performance in Alberta, Alpine Garden figures to be one of the favorites when she runs in the $50,000 Senate Appointee at Hastings on Saturday.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Divine Park, winner of Monday's Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap here, and Giant Gizmo, winner of Monday's Grade 3 Lone Star Park Handicap, are both targeting the $750,000 Whitney Handicap at Saratoga on July 26 for their next start.

AUBURN, Wash. – Enumclaw Girl will have seven rivals on Saturday when she seeks to remain undefeated in the $60,000 Federal Way Handicap for 3-year-old fillies at 6 1/2 furlongs.

Enumclaw Girl, a daughter of Katowice from the barn of trainer Rosie Simkins, is coming off a convincing 2 1/2-length score in the six-furlong U. S. Bank Stakes on May 10. Enumclaw Girl, who won her only start last year against maiden special weight company, was dismissed at 18-1 in the U. S. Bank. Her price will certainly be dramatically lower on Saturday, though she still might not be favored.

The owner of Santa Anita Park has filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of its troublesome synthetic racing surface, claiming that the company failed to live up to the terms of its contract and breached a warranty, according to court papers.

ALBANY, Calif. – There are bigger things on the horizon for the Bobby Frankel-trained Sudan, but on Saturday the Grade 3, $100,000 Golden Gate Fields Turf is the target.

A 5-year-old Irish-bred horse, Sudan is looking for his first win in the United States. The 1 3/8-mile turf stakes should provide an ideal distance for the horse, and a jumping-off point for turf marathons this summer in Southern California.
