OLDSMAR, Fla. - Electrify, who had his three-race win streak snapped in the What a Pleasure Stakes at Calder in his final start as a 2-year-old, will attempt to get back on the winning track Saturday in the $60,000 Pasco Stakes at seven furlongs at Tampa Bay Downs. In order to do so, he must get past Doc Cheney and Inaugural Stakes winner R Loyal Man.

PORTLAND, Ore. - Last Saturday's OTBA Stallion Stakes was supposed to be Cascadians Cuttie's place to star, but he didn't even get to step onto the stage.
Cascadians Cuttie, who finished second to Tom Two in three straight juvenile stakes late last year, strained a ligament in his final blowout for the Stallion Stakes.
ARCADIA, Calif. - The tactical experiments are over for McCann's Mojave, who starts in Saturday's $1 million at Santa Anita.
After winning the $250,000 California Cup Classic at Santa Anita in November by leading throughout, McCann's Mojave was taken off the pace in the Grade 3 Native Diver Handicap at Hollywood Park on Dec. 10.
The plan failed. McCann's Mojave never threatened the leaders in the Native Diver and finished 7 1/2 lengths behind Trotamondo.
ARCADIA, Calif. - A majority interest in Borrego, the winner of two Grade 1 races in 2005, has been acquired by trainer Beau Greely and his brother, John Greely IV, Beau Greely said Wednesday.
The Greelys, previously minority shareholders, acquired a 55-percent ownership in the horse previously held by Jon and Sarah Kelly, Beau Greely said. Brad Scott, Dennis Foster, and Raleigh Ralls will continue to hold minority shares, Greely said.
ARCADIA, Calif. - Throughout her career, Stage Shy has flirted with becoming a top-class filly.
She was favored to win a stakes in England in 2003, but finished seventh. Since joining trainer Neil Drysdale's stable two years ago, she has won three allowance races, but has lost three stakes.
A stakes breakthrough could occur in Friday's $75,000 La Zanzara Handicap at Santa Anita. The conditions fit Stage Shy: The race is run over 1 1/4 miles on turf for fillies and mares.
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - The Gulfstream Park turf course was open for training for the first time this winter on Wednesday morning. Surprisingly, only two horses took advantage of the opportunity, one of whom was Grade 1 winner Silver Wagon.
Silver Wagon had neither raced nor trained on turf prior to Wednesday, which made his seven-furlong workout under jockey Cornelio Velasquez as much an experiment as anything else. And from all appearances he passed the test with flying colors.
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Trainer Marty Wolfson already knows that Preach It handles a two-turn mile without any problem. On Friday, he'll find out if she can have similar success running a one-turn mile when she takes on seven rivals in the $37,000 allowance feature for fillies and mares.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. - When Pioneer Empire's late run fell a head short in last month's Grade 3 Gravesend Handicap, it provided trainer Kim Laudati what she called "the thrill of my life and the biggest disappointment at the same time."
Dismissed at 45-1 in the Gravesend, Pioneer Empire finished just behind fellow longshot Banjo Picker, who won the race at 47-1.
"I thought we had a huge chance in the race because he's so honest and he always gives 100 percent," Laudati said. "You get beat six inches at the wire, I couldn't believe it."
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Juggling more than one training title at a time is nothing new for Steve Asmussen. As he took the lead in the Oaklawn Park standings Saturday with three winners on the card, including the $50,000 American Beauty with More Moonlight, he was just one day from picking up his sixth straight Fair Grounds title, this year at the abbreviated meet being run at Louisiana Downs.
