MIAMI - Opportunities for older fillies and mares in the handicap division at Calder are few and far between for the remainder of the summer, so when one pops up, even unexpectedly, a trainer has to take advantage of the situation. That's why Bill Kaplan and Marty Wolfson have entered Castlebrook and Coolbythepool in Sunday's $50,000 Liberada Handicap.
SALEM, N.H. - Step With Style was an impressive winner on July 4 when she cruised to victory here in the $75,000 Rockingham Park Breeders' Cup. Sunday, she will attempt to become the fifth horse to sweep New England's two richest races for fillies and mares when she comes back to top a field of nine in the $100,000 Spicy Living Sweepstakes Handicap.
Step With Style, a Moyglare Stud Farm homebred, is the 117-pound topweight in the Spicy Living, which will be decided at about nine furlongs on the turf. Josiah Hampshire Jr. will ride.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Guided Tour was a little-known allowance runner from Kentucky before he used a win in the 2000 Seagram Cup Stakes as a springboard toward much bigger accomplishments.
Trainer Graham Motion is hoping that Trajectory can do the same after Sunday's running of that 1 1/16-mile main track event at Woodbine.
"Hopefully, he's an up-and-coming horse," said Motion, who is based at Delaware Park. "He ran some very good races last year."
Prescott Valley, Ariz. - Jim Grundy stands in the clubhouse overlooking his new track, Yavapai Downs, like a father looking at his new child. At the same time he is beaming with pride, he is frantically keeping an eye out for danger.
"I couldn't be more proud," said Grundy, general manager of the mile racetrack that opened here May 26. "We took a project that should have taken us two years to complete and did it in 13 months," he said.
AUBURN, Wash. - Northwest fans have largely been spared the difficulties of handicapping foreign horses making their first starts in the United States, at least insofar as live racing is concerned. But that changes on Sunday when the Chilean-bred Advantage starts in the 6 1/2-furlong Governors Handicap at Emerald Downs.
Preakness and Belmont Stakes winner Point Given has drawn the outside post in a six-horse field expected for Sunday's $1.5 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park. This marks the fourth straight race that Point Given has drawn the outermost post position after having done so in all three Triple Crown races.
Point Given, trained by Bob Baffert and owned by the Thoroughbred Corp., has been installed as the 3-5 morning-line favorite in the field of six. He will be ridden by Gary Stevens and will carry highweight of 124 pounds.
DEL MAR, Calif. - Longshots dominated Thursday's program at Del Mar, creating a pick six carryover of $122,914 for Friday's twilight program.
Winners were hard to find on Thursday during the pick six. Beginning with the third race, the winners were Go on Baby ($33.40), Millenium Princess ($44), What a Little Star ($20), Flying Rudolph ($33.60), Favorite Funtime ($10.20) and Full O' Glee ($8).
Friday's program begins at 4 p.m. and the pick six covers the third through eighth races.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - In the spring, Congaree was playing catch-up to the rest of the 3-year-old division to make it to the Triple Crown series. Heading into Saturday's $600,000 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga, it is the rest of the field that will be playing catch-up to Congaree.
