ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Canadian champions Mobil and One for Rose both look for an unprecedented three-peat on Sunday at Woodbine. Mobil goes for this third straight score in the Halton, and One for Rose her third consecutive Algoma Stakes.
The Halton and Algoma are part of a card that features six $125,000 stakes restricted to graduates of local yearling sales. The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society, which runs the sale, will offer a $10,000 credit to be used at the sale for the trainer of each sales stakes winner, provided that the horse was never claimed.
EDMONTON, Alberta - Deputy Wild Child continues to climb the class ladder as she takes on seven other $22,000 filly and mare claimers at Northlands Park on Sunday.
Deputy Wild Child, owned by Nebssor Stable, will be in quest of a third consecutive victory. Trained by Tom Dewey, who claimed her for $13,000 last month, Deputy Wild Child will again be ridden by Stephan Heiler, who guided her to her latest win, Aug. 7, which came at Sunday's 6 1/2-furlong distance.
OCEANPORT, N.J. - An extra week of rest should benefit Cat Alert on Sunday in the Goldfinch Stakes at Monmouth Park, one of three $55,000 stakes on the card. The other stakes are the Continental Mile for 2-year-olds and the Thomas J. Malley Stakes for 3-year-old fillies.
Trainer Joe Orseno had targeted Cat Alert for last week's Omnibus Stakes, but Cat Alert suffered a stone bruise and missed the race.
"We put on a bar shoe just to be safe," Orseno said. "The foot was a little tender, but it really came around in the last few days."
When entries were taken last Sunday morning for Thursday's races at Ellis Park, apprentice jockey Christin Landrum found herself without a mount. That was before fate stepped in.
Landrum, 23, won her first race Sunday afternoon at Ellis Park, scoring aboard Obrien in ninth race. Then in the days that followed, her friend and fellow apprentice jockey Jordan Charkoudian became sick from an infected spider bite, which led to Landrum picking up three of Charkoudian's Thursday mounts.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - The six $125,000 yearling sales stakes to be run Sunday at Woodbine have often been races in which small-time owners and trainers have taken a shot and were able to come away with a lucrative prize.
Numerous low-priced yearling purchases, such as My Vintage Port, Barbeau Ruckus, Smiles With a Fist, and Orderofexcellence, have been victorious in these races. Owner-trainer Clyde Gholson is hoping to join the list when he sends out Grey Mirage in the seven-furlong Simcoe, for male 2-year-olds.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Soaring Free led an Ontario sweep of the 2004 Atto Mile as runners based in the province took down the top five spots.
But with Soaring Free sidelined after bleeding badly in the recent Play the King Handicap, a new local star will have to emerge if Ontario is to win this year's Sept. 18 renewal of the Grade 1, $1 million turf race for 3-year-olds and up.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba - Aly's Flyer has her work cut out for her as she looks to win her third race in a row in Sunday's $40,000 Assiniboia Oaks for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles at Assiniboia Downs.
Trained by Jared Brown, Aly's Flyer won the Jack Hardy Stakes here two starts ago before taking the Assiniboia Oaks prep on Aug. 19. Both wins were front-end performances over speed-biased racetracks.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Forest Danger began the year as if he were going to develop into one of the top sprinters in the country. But after a dismal showing in the Metropolitan Handicap in May, followed a by summer of inactivity, Forest Danger must prove himself once again.
