Imperial Hint came out of his sixth-place finish in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Stakes tired but fine, according to trainer Luis Carvajal Jr. Imperial Hint was scheduled to arrive back at Parx on Wednesday.

Imperial Hint was the 6-5 favorite in the nine-horse field last Saturday. It is the first time in eight starts since November 2016 that Imperial Hint finished worse than second. He set the pace under Javier Castellano for the first six furlongs of the seven-eighths race, then weakened over the sloppy footing to be beaten 4 1/4 lengths.

Mario Pino, the 10th-leading rider in North American history with 6,857 wins, will ride full time at Delaware Park this summer.

Pino, 56, is a native of Wilmington, Del. He started his career at Delaware Park and led the standings in 1979 and 1980. He also rode there from 2004 to 2008. Since 2009, Pino’s summer base has been Presque Isle Downs, where he finished third in the standings the past two seasons.

Force the Pass ran so well in his comeback race at Monmouth Park on Saturday that it would have been deemed a success even if he hadn’t won. But the 6-year-old put his nose down at the right moment in the $75,000 Cliff Hanger and, following a lengthy photo review, was determined to have beaten Irish Strait, who put in a very good effort of his own off the bench.

The multiple stakes-winning 3-year-old filly Midnight Disguise worked five furlongs in 1:00.84 Wednesday morning over the Belmont Park training track and will make her next start in the Grade 2, $250,000 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico on May 18.

Midnight Disguise won the Busanda and Busher stakes at Aqueduct during the winter and earned enough qualifying points to make it into the Kentucky Oaks field. But after she finished fourth in the Grade 2 Gazelle Stakes at Aqueduct on April 7, trainer Linda Rice decided to skip the Oaks.

Easily the most stunning result in the seven Derby Day stakes was the 4 3/4-length romp on the sloppy track by Funny Duck, a 39-1 shot, in the Grade 3 Pat Day Mile. The Distorted Humor colt was racing on dirt for the second time and recording just his second win from seven overall starts.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Yoshida, who came off a seven-month layoff to win Saturday’s Grade 1 Old Forester Turf Classic at Churchill Downs, will be pointed to the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes on June 19 at the Royal Ascot meet.

Yoshida is a Japanese-bred son of Heart’s Cry out of the U.S. Grade 1-winning mare Hilda’s Passion. Yoshida, trained by Bill Mott, has four wins and three seconds from eight starts.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Fresh off a Kentucky Derby weekend that neither will ever forget, trainers Brad Cox and Steve Asmussen already have returned to their daily routines for the balance of the Churchill Downs spring meet.

Cox, a Louisville native, enjoyed the greatest victory of his career when Monomoy Girl held off Wonder Gadot in the Kentucky Oaks on Friday. Less than 24 hours later, Asmussen sent out the 8,000th winner of his Hall of Fame career when Lookin At Lee won the third race on the Kentucky Derby undercard.

Ax Man and Core Beliefs are expected to be flown to New York on Wednesday from Southern California to run in Saturday’s Grade 3, $350,000 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park.

Ax Man, trained by Bob Baffert, and Core Beliefs, trained by Peter Eurton, will head a field of eight expected for the 1 1/8-mile race, which typically produces runners for the Belmont Stakes on June 9.

Ax Man, a half-brother to the champion Indian Blessing, has won two of three starts. On Monday, he worked five furlongs in 1:00.40 at Santa Anita.

One Go All Go is a throwback, a horse who runs hard and runs often.

On Saturday, the front-running One Go All Go will make his sixth start of the year and eighth in 21 weeks when he runs in the Grade 1, $700,000 Man o’ War Stakes at Belmont Park.

One Go All Go broke a 12-race losing streak when he recorded a gate-to-wire victory in the Grade 2 Elkhorn April 21 at Keeneland. In his five prior starts, One Go All Go finished second four times, three in graded stakes.

ELMONT, N.Y. – The Grade 1 winner Mo Town suffered an injury while training last week and has been retired, trainer Tony Dutrow said Monday.

Mo Town, who won the Grade 1 Hollywood Derby last November at Del Mar, was diagnosed with a torn suspensory ligament in his left foreleg following a routine gallop over the Belmont main track.

“It’s a loss to all involved and to the sport that we didn’t get to see a proven horse race any further,” said Dutrow, whose Team D Stable owned Mo Town with the Coolmore connections of Susan Magnier, Michael Tabor, and Derrick Smith.
