SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Voodoo Song, who won his first Grade 1 race by taking Saturday’s $500,000 Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga, will follow a course that his connections hope gets him to the Breeders’ Cup Mile at Churchill Downs on Nov. 3.

Ed Burgart, the popular track announcer at Los Alamitos, has postponed his retirement until the end of the 2019 season.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Carrick was flying back to New York on Sunday after sending horseplayers flying back to their past performances, trying to figure out how he won the Grade 1, $400,000 Secretariat Stakes on Saturday at Arlington.

Carrick’s three starts before the Secretariat: A $40,000 maiden-claiming win, a $50,000 non-winners-of-two starter-allowance win, and a third in the Grade 3 Kent, which Untamed Domain probably would’ve won without terrible trouble.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Spring Quality had to be scratched from the Arlington Million after shipping poorly to Arlington from Maryland but has improved considerably since Saturday, trained Sunday morning here, and was well enough to get on an equine charter and fly to New York early Sunday afternoon.

“He had a good night last night,” trainer Graham Motion said Sunday morning.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Cordiality may return to a turf sprint at Santa Anita this fall after winning her second stakes for California-bred turf-mile females in the $151,035 Solana Beach Stakes at Del Mar on Friday.

On Saturday trainer and co-owner Mark Glatt said the $100,000 California Distaff Handicap for statebreds at about 6 1/2 furlongs on the hillside turf course Oct. 13 is a possibility for Cordiality.
