Bracket Buster has returned to Kentucky following his career-best performance winning the Pegasus Stakes last Saturday at Monmouth Park – but another trip to the Jersey Shore could very well be possible.

Bracket Buster rolled by seven lengths in the Pegasus, geared down late while earning a career-high Beyer Speed Figure of 91. The race was the local prep toward the Grade 1 Haskell Stakes on July 19, and both Bracket Buster and the runner-up, longshot Wildncrazynight, receive free entry to the race as a result.

Remington Park will introduce a new race, the $250,000 Great West Turf Sprint, on Sept. 28, and officials hope the five-furlong tilt for 3-year-olds and up might attract prospects for the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint.

The Great West will share a card with the Grade 3, $400,000 Oklahoma Derby at 1 1/8 miles and the $200,000 Remington Park Oaks. The races are part of a 32-race stakes schedule worth a cumulative $3.4 million, according to an announcement made by Remington on Monday.

Too Much Kiki, who is the reigning Texas-bred of the year, may have opened a new career chapter for herself last month with her runner-up finish in the $100,000 Memorial Day Sprint at Lone Star Park.

She finished two lengths behind winner Mystic Lake, a multiple Grade 2 winner and earner of more than $1 million who could make her next start at Saratoga in the Honorable Miss.

Mister Omaha is on pace for a start in the $250,000 Iowa Derby next month at Prairie Meadows after the multiple stakes winner turned in a strong recent work at his base of Lone Star Park. The 1 1/16-mile stakes is July 5.

“That’s our plan if everything goes good between now and then,” said Joe Offolter, who trains Mister Omaha for his breeder, Bryan Hawk.

Mister Omaha breezed a half-mile in 50 seconds last Sunday and from there galloped out a mile in 1:40 and change, Offolter said. Jockey Luis Quinonez, who has the mount in the Iowa Derby, was aboard Mister Omaha.

In a span of eight days trainer Brad Cox watched both his unbeaten 3-year-old fillies go down to defeat.

Good Cheer, the Kentucky Oaks winner, won her first seven before finishing a flat fifth June 6 in the Acorn Stakes at Saratoga. Cox can’t point to anything particular besides a sloppy track that produced that dull showing.

ARCADIA, Calif. – A spring of career landmarks continued for Umberto Rispoli Sunday at Santa Anita, where the jockey notched a six-win day on the final program of the track’s spring meeting.

Last month, Rispoli won his first American classic with Journalism in the Grade 1 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico. Sunday was Rispoli’s most successful single day of riding since he relocated from Hong Kong in December 2019.
