HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - King Guillermo and Attachment Rate, 3-year-olds with possible designs on the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park on May 2, topped a very busy work tab Saturday morning at Gulfstream Park. 

From a champion to Grade 1 winners to a graded stakes winner who had an eventful trip to the other side of the world last month, there were several notable workouts at Santa Anita on Saturday.

The track is not operating after it was ordered closed by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on March 27 because of the coronavirus outbreak. While track officials are hoping for a quick resolution with government officials, there is no timetable for a resumption of racing.

Ever Dangerous kicked off his career in style Thursday at Gulfstream Park, winning a 1 1/16-mile turf race by four lengths at odds of 14-1 for trainer George Weaver and owners Randy Hill and Dean and Patti Reeves.

Ever Dangerous is a son of Kitten’s Joy out of a Rahy mare, The Rahy Angel. His third dam produced Grade 1 stakes winners Dimitrova and Mutafaweq.

Jockeys have to make split-second decisions all the time. Dylan Davis made one last month that has him continuing to ride while many of his New York brethren are stuck at home.

For the last two weeks, Davis, a regular on the New York Racing Association circuit, has been riding at Gulfstream Park. On Thursday, he picked up his first victory there when he guided the 3-year-old filly Envoutante to an impressive 6 1/2-length maiden victory.

The Stronach Group, the parent company of Santa Anita, purchased the only full-page advertisement in Thursday’s Los Angeles Times, arguing for the importance of being allowed to race again during the coronavirus outbreak.

A mandatory vacation was not what jockey Flavien Prat envisioned for early April. Similar to thousands of his racing colleagues worldwide, Prat’s season has been idled by the coronavirus outbreak.

Santa Anita, where Prat is leading rider at the winter-spring meeting, was ordered shut by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on March 27 after the racetrack was deemed a nonessential business during the outbreak.

Jockey Ricardo Santana Jr. is scheduled to resume riding Sunday at Oaklawn Park, according to Arkansas state steward Bernie Hettel.

Santana has been in an Oaklawn-directed quarantine after riding at Fair Grounds in New Orleans on Louisiana Derby Day. He was named on horses at Oaklawn on Thursday and Friday, but the quarantine was extended from 11 days to 14 to align with state standards, according to an official with Oaklawn.

Sir Rick, who was entered in last month’s canceled Grade 3, $700,000 Sunland Park Derby, still has a mile and an eighth stakes start on his dance card. It will come in next Saturday’s $200,000 Oaklawn Stakes, according to trainer Robertino Diodoro.

The race will share a card with the $150,000 Oaklawn Mile, which will draw Diodoro trainee Pioneer Spirit.

Sir Rick worked at Oaklawn Park on Friday, going five-eighths in 1:03. The Oaklawn Stakes will be his first start since capturing the $100,000 Mine That Bird Derby on Feb. 23 at Sunland Park.

Postponing the Kentucky Derby until Sept. 5 has obviously changed the future plans and schedules of dozens of 3-year-olds stabled around the country.

Take Americanus, for instance.

Originally, trainer Mark Hennig was thinking about running his up-and-coming War Front colt in one of the Kentucky Derby preps, possibly the Grade 1 Florida Derby here last Saturday. But with the Kentucky Derby now five months away, Hennig didn’t feel the need to push Americanus, who won a loaded entry-level allowance race going seven furlongs here Feb. 22.

The start of the Lone Star Park meet will be delayed as the Dallas area track complies with the latest restrictions Texas has issued in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, track president Scott Wells said Thursday.

Lone Star had been scheduled to start its meet April 16. However, new restrictions, including some concerning travel and group gatherings, will keep the track from opening its stable area until at least May 3.
