AUBURN, Wash. - World-record holder Sabertooth will make his return to action in a wide-open six-furlong allowance race at Emerald Downs on Saturday.
Sabertooth, an 8-year-old son of Petersburg who is now trained by Grant Forster, won last year's FSN Handicap in 1:13 for 6 1/2 furlongs, a world record on dirt. He came back to run a strong second in the one-mile Emerald Handicap, but was unplaced in two subsequent starts and has not run since last October.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Richwoman has been so willing and able to get things done early in her promising career that trainer Steve Asmussen had her flown all the way from Kentucky to Hollywood Park for the May 27 Cinderella Stakes.
"There weren't many other opportunities for us to run her," said Asmussen. "I felt like it was the only bridge between her breaking her maiden and the Debutante. It's a long way to go for a [$71,000] stakes, but it served our purposes."
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - It still looks like all systems go for Woodbine's converted Standardbred track, which begins its temporary duties as a Thoroughbred surface on Saturday.
The cushion of the former dirt track here is being moved to the seven-furlong Standardbred track, which will be used while Polytrack is installed in place of the former dirt surface. That process is scheduled to be completed by the end of August.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Promising 2-year-olds Seaside Links and Spread the News will clash in Saturday's $150,000 Clarendon Stakes.
The five-furlong sprint for Ontario-breds will be the first stakes race run over Woodbine's inner dirt track, which is normally used for harness racing. The main track is currently being converted into a Polytrack surface, so racing is scheduled on the inner track until the end of August.
ELMONT, N.Y. - Discreet Cat has recently resumed training following an illness that forced him to miss Tuesday's Dwyer Stakes, but Godolphin Racing's undefeated 3-year-old won't be ready to run in the $1 million Travers Stakes next month at Saratoga, his connections said Thursday.
Rick Mettee, who oversees Godolphin's New York string, said Discreet Cat has been back to the track for less than a week, but that the cough that forced him to miss the Dwyer "messed up" his summer schedule.
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Dreamsandvisions is coming home. Bred in Texas, he will return to his native state Saturday for the $75,000 Assault at Lone Star Park after spending much of his year racing in Arkansas, Kentucky, and Louisiana.
The Assault is for Texas-breds at 1 1/16 miles, and is one of six restricted stakes on the annual Stars of Texas Day card. Together, the races are worth $465,000.
CHICAGO - Iosilver heads a field of eight entered in the Dr. Fager Stakes on Saturday at Arlington Park. Check that. Iolsilver would head the Dr. Fager if he hadn't performed so dismally May 16 in his first start of the year. But after prompting the pace at odds of 1-2 in a high-end allowance, Iosilver chucked it, finishing a distant last of four, a far cry from his excellent 2005 form.
PLEASANTON, Calif. - No Lost in the Fog? No Carthage? No problem.
Saturday's running of the $50,000 Sam J. Whiting Handicap at the Alameda County Fair still offers some of California's best sprinters, including Jet West, third in the Golden Shaheen in Dubai in March in his last start.
