DEL MAR, Calif. - Stevie Wonderboy, who moved to the head of the West Coast 2-year-old division with his powerful victory in the Grade 2, $250,000 on Wednesday, and stablemate Jealous Profit, who finished third in the race, both had made the trip north to Hollywood Park by Thursday morning, where trainer Doug O'Neill was plotting their immediate future.
DEL MAR, Calif. - Boosted by strong ontrack business, Del Mar set records for all-sources handle and average daily handle at the 43-day meeting that ended on Wednesday.
The all-sources handle, combining ontrack and offtrack sources, was $608,168,297, the first time it has passed the $600 million mark. The daily average all-sources handle was $14,143,449, a gain of 4.8 percent over 2004. The average ontrack handle of $2,532,740 was a gain of 6.5 percent. Average daily handle from Internet and telephone betting rose to a record $1,255,141.
DEL MAR, Calif. - Some trainers and owners whose horses ran in Sunday's first race at Del Mar have petitioned the California Horse Racing Board, claiming that the stewards' decision to declare that race no contest following an accident was in error. Only three of the seven runners completed the race following an accident heading into the far turn.
No purse money was distributed and all claims were voided. All single-race wagers and the daily double were refunded, but the pick three and place pick-all continued as though all horses in the disputed race were winners.
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan - Wind Dancer goes in search of his fifth win of the year, and fourth in a stakes, in Sunday's $15,000 Saskatchewan Derby here at Marquis Downs.
Wind Dancer and two other locals, Fargo Forbes and Lambrose, will take on a single ship-in from each neighboring province - Second Time Clever from Alberta and Hawk de Gold from Manitoba.
The Saskatchewan Derby is run at 1 1/16 miles and goes as the seventh of eight races on the meet's final card.
SAN MATEO, Calif. - Ten female sprinters signed up for Saturday's $60,000 Monterey Handicap at five furlongs on the turf at Bay Meadows.
Two of the fillies, Beezer and Fortunately, come off stakes victories, while two others, Sexy Helmsman and Storminbayoubabe, also won their last start.
made a strong rail rally to edge Yerevan Star, another of Saturday's entrants, by a neck in the July 16 Vacaville Handicap at the Solano County Fair to win her stakes debut. A 4-year-old filly, Beezer will be making her turf debut here.
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - There have been several starts and stops during Shiloh Bound's eight-race career - two long layoffs, a couple of shorter breaks. But when Shiloh Bound comes out, he comes out to run. And his trainer, Walter Bindner, thinks Shiloh Bound is ready to do something when he makes his first start in seven months Saturday in the John Henry Stakes at Arlington Park.
"Well, he's training excellent," said Bindner, who is based at Churchill Downs. "He looks as good as he's ever looked."
EDMONTON, Alberta - Raylene, winner of the City of Edmonton Distaff in her last start, takes on the boys in Saturday's 60th running of the $100,000 Speed to Spare here at Northlands Park.
Raylene has competed with males before. Two years ago Raylene won the Canadian Derby at Saturday's distance of 1 3/8 miles, and when she ran out of filly-mare opportunities at Northlands this season, trainer Rod Haynes opted for the Speed to Spare rather than shipping her to another track.
No mare has won the Speed to Spare since Leo's Lady won back-to-back runnings in 1947 and 1948.
MIAMI - D'Wildcat Speed has proven to be both a delight and source of frustration to trainer Bill White since her arrival from Puerto Rico last winter. Saturday, White is hoping for another of those delightful moments from the graded-stakes-winning D'Wildcat Speed when she heads a talent-packed field of six fillies and mares in Calder's $40,000 Draw In Stakes.
The Draw In shares top billing on Saturday's 13-race card with the $40,000 Ambehaving Stakes. Both races will be decided under allowance conditions at 1 1/16 miles.
