ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Several Queen’s Plate contenders put in their final works over the weekend ahead of the first jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown, to be run over 1 1/4 miles Saturday on Woodbine’s Tapeta.

As of Sunday, a bulky field of 16 was expected for the $1 million Queen’s Plate, led by Plate Trial Stakes winner Telekinesis. Telekinesis will be one of three horses in the field trained by Mark Casse. Casse also will send out Woodbine Oaks runner-up Wonder Gadot and Neepawa in search of his second career Queen’s Plate victory.

ARCADIA, Calif. - The champion Unique Bella, who is likely to start in the Grade 1 Clement Hirsch Stakes at Del Mar next month, was among several notable workouts at Santa Anita over the weekend.

Unique Bella won the Grade 1 Beholder Mile on June 2 in her last start. On Saturday she breezed five furlongs in 1:00.80. In the last five weeks, Unique Bella has been given a breezing designation in three of her four workouts instead of the more strenuous description of handily.

ARCADIA, Calif. - American Anthem has been a seven-furlong specialist in his first 10 starts, and has won three graded stakes at the distance.

After a victory in Sunday’s Grade 2 San Carlos Stakes at seven furlongs at Santa Anita, trainer Bob Baffert said he may try something new with the 4-year-old.

“I think I want to stretch him out,” Baffert said.

On Sunday, Baffert mentioned two options for American Anthem – the Grade 2 San Diego Handicap at 1 1/16 miles at Del Mar on July 21, or the Grade 1 Forego Stakes at seven furlongs at Saratoga on Aug. 25.

Mo Diddley tried New York-bred company for the first time on June 3 - and he liked it. But how will he feel about a longer distance and tougher competition in the featured eighth race Wednesday at Belmont?

Mo Diddley is one of seven entered in a 1 1/16-mile statebred-restricted second-level allowance race also open to $40,000 claimers. Macagone and Cloontia were entered under the claiming option, and Macagone particularly stands a solid chance.

Opening day at Saratoga, or opening Saturday at Del Mar?

Those are the options before the connections of Got Stormy, who followed her win in the $200,000 Penn Oaks with a victory Saturday at Belmont in the Wild Applause Stakes. Both races were turf miles, and trainer Mark Casse and owner Gary Barber had initially planned to make that Got Stormy’s maximum distance.

But there is reason, Casse said, to think the filly might get a little farther, and thus she is being considered for $150,000 Lake George Stakes over 1 1/16 miles on July 20 at Saratoga.

The Mother Goose Stakes has lost some luster in recent years, but it's likely to feature a marquee matchup Saturday at Belmont Park.

Trainer Steve Asmussen on Sunday confirmed that Midnight Bisou, pending a Monday workout at Churchill Downs, will run in the Grade 2, $250,000 Mother Goose. So, too, will Road to Victory, the only horse to have defeated Monomoy Girl, the easy leader of the 3-year-old filly division after wins in the Ashland, the Kentucky Oaks, and the Acorn - all Grade 1s.

Jockey Joel Dominguez won six races on the seven-race card Saturday at Louisiana Downs in Bossier City, La.

Dominguez won the first five races on the card and, after finishing third in the sixth race, came back to win the nightcap. He is the leading rider at Louisiana Downs.

Dominguez’s winners came in the first with Gardner’s Song ($4.20); the second with Phat and Fast ($3); the third with N.D. Free ($7); the fourth with Sunshine Tutie ($4.80); the fifth with Vinyl ($2.40); and the seventh with Beautiful Gi Gi ($8.20).

ARCADIA, Calif. – Justify’s post-Triple Crown celebration tour continued on Saturday with a 15-minute walk to the paddock, racetrack and winner’s circle at Santa Anita before an adoring crowd, most of whom went home with mobile phones filled with photographs.

This was the second consecutive Saturday Justify was shown to his fans. On June 16, Justify was paraded at Churchill Downs.

Magnum Moon, winner of the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby in April and most recently 19th in the May 5 Kentucky Derby, sustained a career-ending front-leg injury galloping out following a workout Saturday morning at Belmont Park, said Jacob West, racing manager for the colt’s owners, Robert and Lawana Low.

X Y Jet had trainer Jorge Navarro brimming with confidence after working five furlongs from the gate in 59.60 Saturday at Monmouth Park in preparation for his upcoming start in the Grade 3 Smile Sprint at Gulfstream Park on June 30.

“I was thrilled with the way he worked this morning, and happy with the way he came back,” Navarro said.  “He’s ready for the race.”

Saturday’s work was the fifth for X Y Jet, all at Monmouth, since his frustrating second-place finish behind Mind Your Biscuits in the Group 1 Dubai Golden Shaheen at Meydan on March 31.
