Trainer Peter Miller’s quest to re-acquire and retire stakes winner All Squared Away has come to fruition. A private purchase last week enabled Miller to take possession of All Squared Away and retire him, bringing to a close a saga in which Miller claimed the horse with the intention to retire him, only to start anew when the claim was voided.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin had a cell phone full of congratulatory texts and was still receiving kudos from fellow horsemen Tuesday morning for the eye-catching debut performance of Jess’s Dream in Monday’s sixth race.

DEL MAR, Calif. – Bayern will head to Santa Anita at the end of this meet and could race there this fall, but already there have been discussions between trainer Bob Baffert and owner Kaleem Shah about whether to go on with him, being as Bayern has not reproduced the strong form of 2014, when he won the Breeders’ Cup Classic.

Bayern finished ninth in the Pacific Classic on Saturday, beating only Midnight Storm, who hounded Bayern through blazing early fractions.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Trainer Tony Dutrow suffered his first significant setback of the meet when Tekton sustained a condylar fracture to his left hind leg on Monday. Tekton will be forced to miss Saturday’s Grade 1 King’s Bishop and the remainder of the year.

Tekton, runner-up in the Curlin Stakes on July 31, had a very sharp workout here on Monday, going four furlongs in 48.21 seconds over the Oklahoma training track. Dutrow, who has gone 5 for 14 at the meet, was looking forward to running him in the King’s Bishop.

DEL MAR, Calif. – Santa Anita Derby winner Dortmund, idle since the Preakness Stakes, worked three furlongs in 36.40 seconds on Monday as he gears up for a return to the races, which was interrupted earlier this meet when he was cast in his stall and severely bruised his ribs.

“That rib thing was a painful thing for him,” said his trainer, Bob Baffert.

Baffert said Dortmund was “decimated after the Preakness” and needed a rest to put the weight back on him.

“It was all too much for him,” he said. “Some horses just can’t handle all the racing.”

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – D. Wayne Lukas said after the Indiana Derby that he was going to shorten up Mr. Z in distance and, despite having nominated him to the Grade 1 Travers, he will stay true to his word by running him in Saturday’s Grade 1 King’s Bishop at seven furlongs.

Mr. Z has run in 13 consecutive stakes around two turns, including a nose win in the $500,000 Ohio Derby and a runner-up finish to Tiz Shea D in the Grade 2 Indiana Derby.

DEL MAR, Calif. – Gloryzapper, who overcame a slow start to win a first-level allowance sprint and remain unbeaten on Sunday, will stretch out around two turns for her next start, according to trainer Phil D’Amato.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – After posting three-win days Sunday and Monday, jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. now has 46 wins at the meet, nine more than Javier Castellano. The 23-year-old Ortiz is seeking his first Saratoga riding title after finishing second to Castellano last year.

The record for wins at a Saratoga meet is 68, set by Ramon Dominguez in 2012. Through the first 28 days of that year’s meet, Dominguez had 47 wins, one more than Ortiz through the same period.

DEL MAR, Calif. – The El Cajon Stakes on Saturday and Grade 3 Torrey Pines Stakes on Sunday, both at one mile and worth $100,000, are the features on a fairly light weekend of racing at Del Mar which bridges the big Pacific Classic weekend last week and the stakes-filled closing weekend next week.

DEL MAR, Calif. – It’s been a tough couple of days at the office for the personnel at trainer Doug O’Neill’s barn following the death on Sunday at Del Mar of the popular Pure Tactics, who suffered catastrophic injuries to the sesamoids in his left hind leg during the Grade 2 Del Mar Mile on turf and had to be euthanized.
