LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Silver State, whose unbeaten streak dating to last fall has made him one of the leading older horses on the continent, has resumed a regular breeze schedule and will be among the Steve Asmussen contingent leaving Churchill Downs on Monday for Saratoga.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Pink Lloyd exited his troubled run in Sunday’s Grade 3 Jacques Cartier a little banged up, but the four-time Canadian champion sprinter could be healed up in time for the Grade 3 Vigil on Aug. 1, according to trainer Robert Tiller.

ELMONT, N.Y. – The 7-year-old mare Oleksandra, who completed her accomplished career on Sunday with a last-to-first victory against males in the Grade 3, $250,000 Poker Stakes while in foal to Into Mischief, will be sold at the Keeneland November sale, according to Barry Irwin, president of the Team Valor International partnership that owns her.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Trainer Steve Asmussen’s first Grade 1 stakes victory came in the 1999 Mother Goose Stakes with Dreams Gallore. The Hall of Fame trainer has since won the race three more times with the likes of Rachel Alexandra (2009), Untapable (2014), and Midnight Bisou (2018).

ELMONT, N.Y. – Country Grammer, who won the Grade 1 Hollywood Gold Cup for trainer Bob Baffert last month at Santa Anita, has been transferred by WinStar Farm to trainer Todd Pletcher and the horse is under consideration for a start in the Grade 2, $400,000 Suburban Stakes on July 3 at Belmont Park.

Should Country Grammer not run in the Suburban, there is the Grade 1, $1 million Whitney on Aug. 7 at Saratoga. WinStar won last year’s Whitney with the Baffert-trained Improbable, who went on to be voted the Eclipse Award for top older male.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Nominations were released Sunday for the $200,000 Smile Sprint Invitational, which headlines the Summit of Speed program July 3 at Gulfstream Park along with the Grade 2, $350,000 Princess Rooney Invitational.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Caribbean Caper looks like the horse to beat in the $104,000 allowance feature on the last twilight program of the spring meet Thursday, but recalculations may be in order. Trainer Al Stall Jr. said Caribbean Caper “most likely” will be scratched as the only 3-year-old in the race-7 lineup in order to stick with fellow 3-year-olds at a later date. With that known, Reagan’s Edge and Skinny Dip become the fillies to beat in a second-level allowance to be run at six furlongs.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Tyler Gaffalione, well on his way to another riding title at Churchill, will serve a three-day suspension after the spring meet ends Saturday, although it’s something that will scarcely impact his intended schedule.

Gaffalione is suspended for the first three days of the Ellis Park meet (June 27, July 1, July 2), with the penalty effectively preventing him from riding those same dates at Belmont Park. When Churchill ends, Gaffalione moves to New York, primarily for the Saratoga meet that starts July 15, and until Kentucky Downs starts Sept. 5.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Brook Smith had been hiding in plain sight, but no more. As the man behind an ownership entity known as RSLP Racing LLC, Smith dropped the collective jaw of the racing world Saturday when RSLP claimed three horses for $100,000 apiece out of the fourth race at Churchill Downs.

The move was so extraordinary that experienced horsemen and social-media wags said they had never seen anything like it. From a field of 10 2-year-olds going five furlongs, RSLP claimed the winner, Just Call Ray, along with Versatile (sixth) and Braggadoccio (10th).

ARCADIA, Calif. – This Tea, second in two Grade 2 stakes for fillies and mares in recent months at Santa Anita, has been retired after being diagnosed with an ankle injury, trainer George Papaprodromou said Sunday.

This Tea, a 4-year-old filly by Curlin, had one win in 13 starts and earned $165,320. She finished second by 9 1/4 lengths to As Time Goes By in the Grade 2 Santa Margarita Stakes on April 24, and second by a nose at 23-1 to that rival in the Grade 2 Santa Maria Stakes on May 22.
