Former jockey and trainer Richard Wright died peacefully at home Monday in Renton, Wash.

According to his son, Blaine Wright, “he died of old age and was three weeks shy of his eighty-second birthday.”

Richard Wright began riding match races when he was 12 or 13 and was usually in the top 10 in the jockey standings for 22 years at Longacres, Playfair, and Portland Meadows.

He retired from riding in 1974 and took out his trainer’s license in 1976. He won 962 races as a trainer, with his most important victory coming in the 1982 Longacres Derby with Flying Judgement.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Kevin Attard said 2019 Canadian Horse of the Year Starship Jubilee has retired sound following Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf at Keeneland, during which she stumbled at the break and unseated jockey Florent Geroux.

“It’s pretty definite that she’s been retired,” Attard said. “It looks like she’s going to the breeding shed. It was an unfortunate way to finish off the great career that she had, but that’s horse racing.”

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Miss Marissa, upset winner of the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes on Oct. 3 at Pimlico, is on target to make her next start in the Grade 3, $100,000 Comely Stakes on Nov. 27 at Aqueduct.

On Nov. 5, Miss Marissa worked five furlongs in 1:02.82, her second work since beating Bonny South by a neck in the Black-Eyed Susan.

“She’s had one work in company and one by herself,” trainer Jim Ryerson said. “We’re real happy with how she’s improved with stretching out.”

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Pickin’ Time, who won Sunday’s Grade 3 Nashua Stakes by 2 1/4 lengths at Aqueduct, will get the opportunity to stretch out to 1 1/8 miles in the Grade 2, $150,000 Remsen Stakes on Dec. 5 at Aqueduct.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Trainer David Donk had a bad feeling about the Belmont Park fall meet early on.

“My first six starters at Belmont, I had four seconds and a third, and when one of them didn’t win I said, ‘This could be a problem,’ ” Donk said. “And sure enough.”

Firenze Fire, a solid third in Saturday’s Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Keeneland, was back in trainer Kelly Breen’s Belmont Park barn by Sunday afternoon while owner Ron Lombardi contemplates what’s next for the 5-year-old Florida-bred son of Poseidon’s Warrior.

Lombardi said Monday he’s torn between retiring Firenze Fire and making him a stallion or continuing to race him. There’s even the possibility of running him once or twice more and then retiring him early in 2021. Lombardi didn’t reject the notion of trying the Grade 1, $250,000 Cigar Mile on Dec. 5 at Aqueduct.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Trainer Bret Calhoun said plans for By My Standards’s immediate future should be decided by week’s end, with a possible run in the Nov. 27 Clark at Churchill not having been ruled out for the 4-year-old colt.

“We’re going to give him a full evaluation and hopefully come to a decision fairly soon,” Calhoun said.

By My Standards, a winner of three graded stakes for older horses this year, was never a serious factor Saturday when finishing eighth at 16-1 in the BC Classic at Keeneland.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Swiss Skydiver came out of her disappointing effort in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff in good order despite “a couple of nicks and dings” and will be regrouped for a 4-year-old campaign, trainer Ken McPeek said Sunday at Churchill Downs.

Mere hours after leading Monomoy Girl off the van at the Fasig-Tipton sales grounds early Sunday in Lexington, Ky., trainer Brad Cox was back in the winner’s circle at Churchill.

Cox saddled a 2-year-old Munnings filly named Sun Path for an eye-catching maiden victory in the second race Sunday. The Juddmonte Farms homebred overcame an awkward start to win the seven-furlong race by three widening lengths.

Global Campaign is headed to stud at WinStar Farm in 2021, but before then it’s possible he’ll have one more start in the Jan. 23 Pegasus World Cup at Gulfstream Park.

Global Campaign finished third at 25-1 on Saturday in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Keeneland, earning a career-high 106 Beyer Speed Figure. The 4-year-old Curlin colt got a 104 in winning the Grade 1 Woodward in his prior start.

“The Pegasus is something that’s definitely under consideration,” Hunter Rankin, president of Sagamore Farm, said early Monday.
