Hialeah Park, which closed its doors in 2001 following the deregulation of racing dates in south Florida, may now have to forfeit its operating permit after a government-appointed hearing officer ruled that the track cannot blame Gulfstream Park or Calder for its inability to conduct a live meet.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Enduring Will might have punched her ticket to the $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies later this month at Lone Star Park after she powered to a 10-length win in the $100,000 Silver Spur Breeders' Cup on Friday, the track's opening night.
The one-mile race for 2-year-old fillies was designed as a local prep for the BC Juvenile Fillies. Al Stall Jr., who trains Enduring Will, said the filly is being considered for the Breeders' Cup, which will be run on Oct. 30.
Believe Im Special won the $40,000 Racino Inaugural for the third straight year at Delta Downs on Friday night. He won the five-furlong opening night feature by a neck over Joyful Tune. It was another half-length back in third to favorite Nitro Chip.
Believe Im Special ($9.80) broke sharp from his rail post and dueled throughout, covering the distance in 59.37 seconds. Guy Smith rode the winner for trainer Thomas Sam. Believe Im Special earned $24,000 for the partnership of Davis, Davis, and Defrates. He has won 9 of 27 starts overall for earnings of $241,899.
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.
