ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Mark Casse is perennially the most active and winningest 2-year-old trainer at Woodbine, and with good reason.

Casse has played a dominant role in local 2-year-old racing throughout the past decade, thanks mainly to a steady diet runners from Harry Mangurian's Mockingbird Farm. Mangurian dispersed his operation a few years ago, and Casse currently trains for a wide variety of high-profile owners, including Stonerside Stable, Team Valor Stable, and Eugene Melnyk.

Morning Snow, a winner of 5 of 7 starts, is making her first start since finishing second in her Los Alamitos Million trial Nov. 29 at Los Alamitos.

Retama Park, which begins a 48-night meet Friday, has never been afraid to try something different. When the track near San Antonio, Texas, opened in 1995, it introduced two turf route stakes for 2-year-olds. A few years later, takeout on its pick three wagers was reduced from 25 percent to 12 percent.

Those ideas have since become signatures for the track, and this year, a new one will be tested: the 49er Daily Double.

Ricky Frazier will leap back into the real world Friday at Retama Park when he returns to competitive riding after working on two films: "Seabiscuit" and the upcoming "Spiderman 2."

Frazier spent five months as a stunt double for lead actor Tobey Maguire in "Seabiscuit," and also did some stunt work for "Spiderman 2." His return to Retama is something of a homecoming, as he has not ridden at the track since 1998, when he won the riding title. In recent years, Frazier has competed in northern California and Seattle.
