ARCADIA, Calif. - A string of longshots on Thursday produced a carryover of $289,934 for Friday's program at Santa Anita.

There was an $82,000 carryover going into Thursday's program, which proved to be tricky. The winners of the pick six races were Bright Victory ($6.60), Casting Call ($11.40), Luzern ($10), Debonair Joe ($56), Lasting Tribute ($35.60) and Ordained Magic ($16.20).

Friday's pick six covers the third through eighth races. There are no scratches in the pick six. Several of the races have large field.

ELMONT, N.Y. - On the surface, Saturday's $150,000 Lawrence Realization Handicap looks like a grudge match between Chiselling and Finality. But, if the surface is a wet Belmont Park Widener Turf course, the Grade 3 race could become a more wide-open affair.

A field of 10 was entered for the Lawrence Realization, the final turf stakes restricted to 3-year-olds run this year in New York. Chiselling defeated Finality in the Grade 3 Lexington at 10 furlongs here in July while Finality turned the tables on his rival in last month's Grade 2 Jamaica at nine furlongs.

MIAMI - Thomas Heard Jr. never lost faith in Lawbook even after the colt, whom he owns and trains, lost the first six starts of his career. Now Lawbook can become part of Florida Stallion Stakes history if he can defeat 13 other 2-year-olds and complete a sweep of the open division of the series Saturday in the $400,000 In Reality Stakes.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Following a two-win afternoon Thursday, Todd Pletcher is tied for leading trainer at this meet with Richard Dutrow Jr. Pletcher, who already has won the Belmont spring and Saratoga titles, enters a stakes-filled weekend as New York's second-leading trainer in stakes won for the year.

Pletcher will participate in all four stakes on this holiday weekend, with legitimate contenders in at least three of them.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Saturday's $100,000 Sen. Ken Maddy Handicap at Santa Anita offer a variety of challengers for Adoration.

A two-time stakes winner at Hollywood Park earlier this year, Adoration is making her first start since finishing sixth in the Delaware Oaks in July. In addition, the 3-year-old Adoration meets older fillies and mares for the first time in the Maddy, which is run over about 6 1/2 furlongs on the hillside turf course.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Bold'n Keen looks like the one to beat in the Saturday feature, a $50,000 optional claiming sprint for 3-year-olds that drew six horses.

Bold'n Keen looked like he could be one of the best 3-year-olds on the grounds when he won his maiden by 12 1/2 lengths June 1, but he hasn't won since and it appears that, at best, he's likely to be a very good sprinter. He has never won at a middle distance, and since he finished 10th in the 1 1/8-mile B.C. Derby Sept. 21, his trainer, Rob VanOverschot, has decided to look for shorter races for him.

EDMONTON, Alberta - Despite a stakes defeat at Woodbine that snapped her three-race winning streak, Raylene is expected to rule as a prohibitive favorite in a field of nine in the inaugural $40,000 Freedom of the City for 2-year-old fillies going a mile at Northlands on Saturday.

Raylene's dominating closing burst should stand her in good stead in her first race at a mile.

Trainer Rod Haynes claims that Raylene's recent defeat should not be seen as a deterrent by her local supporters.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Trainer Mike Keogh won Canada's most important 2-year-old stakes, the Grade 2 Grey Breeders' Cup, last Sunday with his rising star Wando.

Keogh could be loaded for bear again Saturday at Woodbine, when he sends out his second stringer, Mobil, in the Cup and Saucer Stakes, a 1 1/16-mile turf race worth $250,000.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Few associate midsummer in Virginia with the unveiling of promising 2-year-old talent. Yet that is when and where Newsbreak began his racing career, eking out a neck victory July 15 in a one-mile turf race at Colonial Downs. And while the victory was narrow, Newsbreak's win in a Sept. 13 turf allowance race at Belmont was emphatic. Closing from last with a rush, Newsbreak won going away by almost two lengths.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - No Seabiscuit promotion. No stakes. It's "simply Saturday" at Bay Meadows.

Only three fillies and mares entered the scheduled $60,000-added Charles H. Russell Handicap at six furlongs. The race was canceled and will not be rescheduled, although racing secretary Greg Brent will try to fill an allowance sprint for the Sunday card.

Brent said one reason the race was cancelled is a similar sprint stakes is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 10 at Golden Gate Fields.
