Pies Prospect became Nick Zito's latest 3-year-old to win a graded stakes as he outdueled Eddington to capture the Grade 3, $300,000 Pegasus Stakes on Friday night at The Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, N.J.
Zito, who also trains Birdstone, The Cliff's Edge, and Sir Shackleton, won the feature Pegasus on opening night of the Big M meeting that runs through Nov. 13.
ARCADIA, Calif. - Run well Sunday at Santa Anita, then make plans for the Breeders' Cup at Lone Star. It is that simple.
The Oct. 30 Breeders' Cup is bearing down, and the complexion of the Turf, Distaff, and Juvenile will be a lot more clear after three key California preps Sunday that will determine the West Coast contingent - the Grade 1 Clement L. Hirsch on turf, the Grade 2 Lady's Secret Handicap for fillies and mares, and the Grade 2 Norfolk for 2-year-olds.
ARCADIA, Calif. - Summer Wind Dancer might go on and win Sunday's Lady's Secret Breeders' Cup Handicap at Santa Anita, and might parlay that into a victory in the Breeders' Cup Distaff 27 days later at Lone Star Park. Maybe that would mollify her trainer, Jeff Mullins, who, like a fisherman staring at a broken line, still smarts over the one that got away.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Celt heads a classy group of sprinters in the Hastings feature race Sunday, a 6 1/2-furlong $25,000 claiming race that drew eight older horses. The speedy Celt figures to attract plenty of support, as does 15-time winner Shoe Fly Willie and Buckeye Bates, who has won 14 of his 24 career starts.
ARCADIA, Calif. - If anyone is going to beat Star Over the Bay in Sunday's $250,000 Clement Hirsch Memorial Turf Championship at Santa Anita's Oak Tree meeting, they'd better roll right past him. As his opponents have found in their last two starts, if you get in a dogfight with him, you'll get mauled.
ARCADIA, Calif. - The undefeated record is gone, but Roman Ruler has not lost his status as the top 2-year-old male in California.
The evidence of that is clear in Sunday's $200,000 Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita. Roman Ruler has only four rivals in a key prep to the $1.5 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Lone Star Park on Oct. 30.
will be a heavy favorite in the Grade 2 Norfolk, his first start since he ran second to Declan's Moon in the Del Mar Futurity on Sept. 8. Declan's Moon is passing the October races and will be pointed for the Hollywood Park fall meeting.
ARCADIA, Calif. - Special Ring is unlikely to start in the $250,000 Oak Tree Breeders' Cup Mile at Santa Anita on Oct. 9, and will be trained up to a start in the $1 million Breeders' Cup Mile at Lone Star Park on Oct. 30.
That's the strategy that trainer Julio Canani said he would present to owner Jack Preston this weekend.
Canani fears that the 21-day gap between the two stakes is too close for Special Ring to be at his best for the BC Mile.
Easily the most important span of racing in Kentucky this fall takes place next weekend at Keeneland Race Course, where seven graded stakes, most of them likely to produce starters for the Breeders' Cup, will be run.
"FallStars Weekend" is what Keeneland officials call the three-day weekend that opens the 17-day fall meet at the Lexington, Ky., track. Because of the timing of the Breeders' Cup, which this year will be run Oct. 30 at Lone Star Park, the meet is front-loaded with those major stakes.
MIAMI - Love That Moon finished third behind Model Home in the Forty One Carat Stakes and third to Swift Replica in the Sea Emperor Stakes this summer, but he could avenge both losses when the three meet again in Sunday's $40,000 Reappeal Stakes at Calder.
Love That Moon has yet to return to the form that saw him win three straight stakes here last summer and fall, including the Jack Dudley Sprint Handicap. The 6 1/2-furlong Reappeal would be a perfect prep for a defense of his title in the Jack Dudley, to be run Nov. 13.
