LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Art Collector, the standout colt who was declared from consideration for the Kentucky Derby with a minor setback four days before the race was held Saturday at Churchill Downs, already has resumed serious training and is being pointed to the Oct. 3 Preakness at Pimlico, according to trainer Tommy Drury.

Drury said Monday from his primary base at the Skylight training center just east of Louisville that Art Collector resumed galloping Saturday after being cleared to resume training.

LOUISVILLE, KY. – Even though Churchill Downs on Saturday was closed to spectators and all but a select few as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the calls for racial justice that have gripped Louisville for more than three months were visible before, during, and after the Kentucky Derby.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Shug McGaughey said to himself he wasn’t going to make the same mistake here this summer with Civil Union that he did several years ago with Apple Betty, running her back too soon in the Grade 3 Waya following her victory in the River Memories just four weeks earlier at Belmont Park. 

Jockeys based out of town will not be permitted to ride at the Belmont Park fall meet while New York-based riders will be allowed to leave and return provided they produce two negative COVID-19 tests in a five-day period, according to protocols announced Sunday by the New York Racing Association.

The Belmont Park fall meet will consist of 27 racing days from Sept. 18 through Nov. 1.

Frank’s Rockette made it two consecutive stakes victories versus 3-year-old filly sprinters with a sharp 2 1/2-length score in Saturday’s Grade 2 Prioress at Saratoga.

She beat the same two horses - Reagan’s Edge and Center Aisle - that she defeated by a much narrower margin in the Grade 3 Victory Ride Stakes at Belmont Park on July 4.

Mystic Guide came out of his half-length victory in Saturday’s Grade 2 Jim Dandy a little tired but otherwise in good shape, trainer Mike Stidham said Sunday. While Stidham said he will strongly consider the $1 million Preakness on Oct. 3 for Mystic Guide’s next start, he stopped short of committing the colt to the race.

“If the race makes sense we’ll go there,” Stidham said Sunday afternoon. “It’s not a must-run-in race, it’s a race we'll look at and if the race make sense for the horse we’ll do it.”

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - When Kevin Plank earlier this year began the process of winding down his holdings in Thoroughbred racing, one horse he wanted to retain an interest in was Global Campaign.

So even though he sold a piece of the son of Curlin to WinStar Farm earlier this year, Plank’s Sagamore Farm kept a 50-percent interest in the horse’s racing career and a third interest in his future as a stallion.

Harvest Moon won her stakes debut in the Grade 3 Torrey Pines Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Del Mar on Aug. 22 and may race against the leading older fillies and mares in California later this month.

Trainer Simon Callaghan said recently that Harvest Moon is under consideration for the Grade 2 Zenyatta Stakes for fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles at Santa Anita on Sept. 25. The winner receives a fees-paid berth to the Breeders’ Cup Distaff at Keeneland on Nov. 7.

Collusion Illusion, who earned a fees-paid berth to the Breeders’ Cup Sprint with a win in the Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes on Aug. 1, worked five furlongs in 1:00.40 at Del Mar on Sunday for an expected start in the Grade 2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship on Sept. 27.

The $200,000 Santa Anita Sprint Championship is run at six furlongs.

A winner of 5 of 6 starts, Collusion Illusion had the fourth-fastest of 40 works at five furlongs Sunday.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Raymundos Secret won the Grade 2 John Mabee Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on turf at Del Mar on Saturday by a rapidly diminishing neck, holding off a furious rally from Lady Prancealot.

The outcome has dictated how the 4-year-old Raymundos Secret will be campaigned this fall. On Sunday, trainer Phil D’Amato said one-mile turf races for fillies and mares such as the Grade 2 Goldikova Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 25 and the Grade 1 Matriarch Stakes at Del Mar on Nov. 29 are goals.
