WINNIPEG, Manitoba - Trainers Carl Anderson and Emile Corbel will saddle five of the eight fillies and mares entered in Sunday's $40,000 Winnipeg Sun Stakes here at Assiniboia Downs. Anderson sends out Remiewaterbluz, Vicar's Daughter, and Warmnfuzzyfeelin, while Corbel has Beshairt and Ericka's Lass in the 1 1/16-mile Winnipeg Sun.

Remiewaterbluz won the La Verendrye and Canada Day Stakes in her first two starts of the year before finishing second to Beshairt in the allowance prep for the Winnipeg Sun last time out.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Trainer Catherine Day Phillips and jockey Jono Jones have teamed up to win the last two editions of the $500,000 Breeders' Stakes, with Jambalaya last year and with A Bit O'Gold in 2004.

On Sunday, Day Phillips and Jones will be looking to become the first trainer and first jockey to pull off the Breeders' three-peat here at Woodbine when Uncle Max contests the 1 1/2-mile turf race, the final leg of the Canadian Triple Crown.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Main Executive, sidelined since his decisive victory in the May 13 New Providence Stakes, will negotiate a two-turn distance for the first time Sunday at Woodbine in the $125,000 Shepperton Stakes.

Main Executive, a front-runner trained by Radlie Loney, has won six of eight starts for earnings of $285,868. The six-furlong New Providence was his stakes debut, and he got the job done while being awarded a 100 Beyer Speed Figure.

Good news.

Sip One for Mom ($17.20) returned to her preferred grass surface and rallied to a decisive and somewhat predictable victory Thursday in race 7.

Now for the bad news. Morning-line favorite Burst of Light scratched, along with contenders Lady Truffles and Light and Magic.

Because of the defections, Sip One for Mom started at "only" 7-1. She failed to meet the minimum odds requirement of 9-1, and goes into the ledger as "no play." Considering the scratches, 7-1 was a square price.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 4

The recap of Thursday's plays:

Summer Palace set the pace and came up dead short in the fourth race.

In the fifth, Summer Service settled for second behind the front-running Thatsmorelikeit, who lowered the course record to 1:01.17 for five and a half furlongs on the Mellon turf. That's four straight starts now that Summer Service has run in a race where a course record was set!

We pick up the pieces and move on to Friday.

RACE 4

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Todd Pletcher believes Flower Alley will be better later in the year. Kiaran McLaughlin believes Invasor has never been better. In whom you trust will determine how you wager in Saturday's Grade 1, $750,000 at Saratoga.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - In an era when short fields have become all too commonplace in stakes races across the country, Saturday's $250,000 Test at Saratoga will provide a refreshing change of pace with 14 3-year-old fillies expected to start in the seven-furlong, Grade 1 race.

The Test drew 15, including the Patrick Biancone-trained entry of 2005 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies runner-up . Biancone said Sabatini will run if the track is fast; Wild Fit goes if the track is off.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Belmont Stakes winner Jazil won't be rejoining trainer Kiaran McLaughlin's barn as early as anticipated, and it is unclear whether he will be ready to make the Breeders' Cup Classic in November.

Last month, McLaughlin revealed that Jazil was suffering from bruising in a hind cannon bone and was going to spend a month on owner Sheikh Hamdan's Shadwell Farm in Kentucky. McLaughlin was hopeful to get the horse back on Aug. 10.

DEL MAR, Calif. - The experience that Untouched Talent gained by winning the Juan Gonzalez Stakes in her debut last month will play a vital role in Saturday's $150,000 Sorrento Stakes at Del Mar.

She broke from the rail in that five-furlong race at Pleasanton, led throughout, and won easily. It was a performance expected from a filly bought for $500,000 at the Barretts March sale of 2-year-olds in training.

For her second start, will need to draw on that experience when she breaks from the rail in the Grade 3 Sorrento Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at 6 1/2 furlongs.

HENDERSON, Ky. - The Gardenia Handicap, the signature race at Ellis Park, historically has been locally concentrated, with the occasional outsider crashing the party. A California mare, Dream of Summer, dominated the Grade 3 Gardenia Handicap last year as the favorite, and on Saturday it will be a Florida invader, Prospective Saint, who will be the highweight and probable favorite in the Gardenia.
