Joe Talamo will have the mount, Baffert said.

Churchill Downs has once again delayed the opening of its stable area at both its Louisville track and its nearby training center, the track announced Tuesday.

Mylady Curlin, runner-up in the Grade 2 Azeri on March 14 at Oaklawn, has been retired, trainer Brad Cox said Monday. She has been sent to a farm in Lexington, Ky.

Mia Mischief, winner of last year’s Grade 1 Humana Distaff at Churchill Downs, is scheduled to make her next start in the $125,000 Carousel at Oaklawn, trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday.

The Carousel, for fillies and mares at six furlongs, has been pushed back to April 25.

Mia Mischief won her 5-year-old debut March 20 in a local allowance. It was intended as her stepping-stone to this year’s Humana Distaff, said Asmussen, but that race is being rescheduled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The mutuel field, the 24th or “all others” option, once again was favored when Pool 4 of the 2020 Kentucky Derby Future Wager closed Sunday following the customary three-day betting window.

The field closed at 3-1 and was followed by Charlatan (5-1), Tiz the Law (5-1), Maxfield (9-1), Nadal (9-1), Authentic (10-1), and Honor A. P. (15-1). The lowest $2 exacta will-pay was Tiz the Law over the field (22-24), worth $62.

Charlatan, Honor A. P., and Nadal, three of the nation’s leading 3-year-olds, were given workouts at Santa Anita on Sunday.

With the coronavirus outbreak temporarily disrupting racing at Santa Anita, and at many other venues nationwide, it is unclear where the trio will appear next, although the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park on May 2 is a possibility.
