Your Out will be headed for bigger challenges after cruising to a 3 1/2-length victory in Tuesday's $55,000 Summer King Stakes at Delaware Park.
Trainer H. Graham Motion said he will take a long look at the Obeah, a $100,000 stakes at 1 1/8 miles on June 22 at Delaware, as the next start for Your Out, a 4-year-old filly who has won six of 12 lifetime starts. If she handles that test, the long-range goal could be the $600,000 Delaware Handicap at 1 1/4 miles on July 21.
ALTOONA, Iowa - Jockey Terry Thompson broke the single-day riding record at Prairie Meadows when he rode six winners on the 10-race program Monday afternoon.

AUBURN, Wash. - Age was served at Emerald Downs on Sunday, as a pair of rejuvenated 8-year-olds dueled through the stretch en route to a track-record clocking in the Fox Sports Net Handicap at 6 1/2 furlongs.
At the wire it was Crowning Meeting by a neck over California invader Profound Secret in 1:13.80, a time that demolished the track record of 1:14.40 set by Edneator in 2000.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario-Texas invader See How She Runs remained unbeaten in five starts with an authoritative 5 1/2-length victory in the Grade 1, $280,250 Selene Stakes at Woodbine Monday.

War Emblem might have gotten away with an easy trip in the Kentucky Derby, but he was the main target in a shooting gallery in the Preakness Stakes, and it appears a number of horses will take one last shot at him on June 8 in the Belmont Stakes when he attempts to become the sport's 12th Triple Crown winner.
NEW YORK - War Emblem's less-than-convincing victory in the Kentucky Derby was good for business on Saturday for the Preakness Stakes.
With betting spread over the 13-horse Preakness field and record-setting handle in the exotics pools, all-sources betting on the Preakness set a record at $42,301,515. Total handle on the 13-race card was also a record, at $64,546,504, according to Preakness officials. The previous record was set last year, on a 12-race card.
Inglewood, Calif. - Jockey Alex Solis has been given a three-day suspension for causing interference in Friday's fifth race at Hollywood Park, which he won aboard Irish Warrior. Solis was cited for altering course without sufficient clearance.
The suspension begins Thursday and continues through Saturday, but Solis will be allowed to ride Collect Call in the Milady Breeders' Cup Handicap on Saturday.
Hollywood stewards also suspended trainer A.C. Avila for 15 days after one of his runners tested positive for a prohibited medication last summer at Del Mar.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The transition is pretty much over.
The Claiborne Farm horses, which resided in the Churchill Downs barn of Frank Brothers for some six years, have been dispersed to other trainers. Meanwhile, the Lazy Lane Farms horses are filling those stalls in the Brothers barn.
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Congaree, who was expected to make his 4-year-old debut Monday in the Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park, is now more likely to launch his comeback in the Grade 3, $300,000 Lone Star Park Handicap the same day. The 1 1/16-mile race anchors Lone Star Million Day, which will feature seven stakes.
