ELMONT, N.Y. – Win Win Win, dramatic winner of the Grade 1 Forego on Aug. 29 at Saratoga, will train up to the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile, trainer Michael Trombetta said Thursday.

Win Win Win rallied from as far as 16 lengths back to win the Forego by a half-length in the slop. Trombetta said that considering how hard Win Win Win worked, he doesn’t think running him again before the Breeders’ Cup is a good idea.

“I’m just worried he put it all out there for that race, the ground loss and all the work he had to put in to get it done,” Trombetta said.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Liveyourbeastlife, runner-up in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy, worked five furlongs in 59.97 seconds Thursday morning at Belmont Park, after which trainer Jorge Abreu confirmed the 3-year-old son of Ghostzapper would be supplemented to the $1 million Preakness on Oct. 3 at Pimlico.

Because he is not Triple Crown nominated, Liveyourbeastlife would have to be supplemented to the Preakness for a $25,000 fee. Abreu said owner William Lawrence has indicated a willingness to do that.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Trainer Bill Mott has been on quite a roll lately, winning 11 races – including five stakes – from 43 starters from Aug. 29 through Sept. 16.

Mott, who will send out potential favorite Antoinette in Saturday’s Grade 1 Belmont Oaks Invitational, is hoping his recent run of success at the end of the summer leads to a big fall.

The New Jersey Racing Commission on Wednesday adopted a rule that will prohibit a jockey from using a whip on horses “except for reasons of safety” beginning with the start of the Monmouth Park meet next year.

All-sources wagering at the 2020 Runhappy meet at Kentucky Downs totaled $59,828,444, crushing the former record set at the turf-only track in south-central Kentucky.

The six-day meet ran Sept. 7 through Wednesday, with a Tuesday substituting for a Sunday because of a rainout. The former record for gross handle ($41.2 million) was set last year during a five-day meet. Per-day handle averaged nearly $10 million, and a single-day record of more than $17.4 million was set last Saturday.

Jockeys who intend to ride at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore during the upcoming three-day Preakness Stakes meet will need to get tested at the track for coronavirus 72 hours prior to being allowed to ride, according to protocols the track has distributed to riders and their agents.

Storm the Court, the champion 2-year-old male of 2019 who was sixth in the Kentucky Derby on Sept. 5, is in the midst of a brief rest and is expected to resume his career in the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby on turf Nov. 28 at Del Mar.

Earlier this month, Storm the Court was sent to a farm near Santa Anita for a rest, but trainer Peter Eurton has brought the colt to his stable.

The $250,000 Hollywood Derby is run at 1 1/8 miles and would be Storm the Court’s second start on grass.

A massive wildfire in the mountains above Santa Anita has already led to the cancellation of two days of racing this weekend and poor air quality conditions continue to disrupt training.

There were no workouts Tuesday and 66 workouts on Wednesday in advance of the rearranged opening day of the autumn meeting on Sept. 25. The season is scheduled for 16 racing days through Oct 25.

Trainers have been advised by track management to check conditions each morning before deciding whether to work horses.
