ARCADIA, Calif. – Shared Belief is getting ready to take his act on the road. Trainer and co-owner Jerry Hollendorfer said the $1.5 million Metropolitan Mile on Belmont Stakes Day, June 6, at Belmont Park was “right on the radar” as the next major objective for Shared Belief, who won his 10th race in 11 starts Saturday in the Santa Anita Handicap.

“The Santa Anita Handicap was a point race,” Hollendorfer said Sunday morning at Santa Anita. “We got to our point race and accomplished that. The point race now would be the Met Mile.”

ARCADIA, Calif. – Dortmund, Prospect Park, and Bolo – the first three finishers in the San Felipe Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita – all came out of the race well and are set for a rematch in four weeks in the Grade 1, $1 million Santa Anita Derby, their trainers said Sunday morning.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Despite El Kabeir’s two prior graded stakes victories and his consistency, owner Ahmed Zayat wasn’t truly convinced he was a Kentucky Derby horse. Until Saturday, that is.

After watching El Kabeir rally from second to last in a 10-horse field to win Saturday’s Grade 3, $400,000 Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct, Zayat now believes his gray son of Scat Daddy belongs in the starting gate May 2 at Churchill Downs.

OLDSMAR, Fla. – Carpe Diem exited his five-length victory Saturday in the Grade 2 Tampa Bay Derby in good fashion, trainer Todd Pletcher said Sunday morning from his Palm Beach Downs winter base. The Giant’s Causeway colt most likely will be pointed to the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland, an April 4 race in which the Tampa Bay Derby runner-up Ami’s Flatter also might race next, according to his trainer, Josie Carroll.

ARCADIA, Calif. – On Saturday, trainer A.C. Avila said he will not appeal a 60-day suspension and $10,000 fine for a medication violation from 2014, and he has sold his share of the horse at the center of the incident, the stakes-placed Masochistic.

A 50 percent share of Masochistic has been acquired privately by Samantha Siegel and will be trained by Ron Ellis. On Saturday, Ellis said he has no race plans for Masochistic, who has won 4 of 6 starts and earned $223,850. A 50 percent share in the horse has been retained by Los Pollos Hermanos Racing.

Roughly two weeks removed from the Grade 3 Spiral Stakes at Turfway Park on March 21, the race is beginning to take shape. Among the horses under consideration for the race are Metaboss, Magic is Believing, Conquest Typhoon, Majestico, Imperia, Bluff, Royal Son, and Pepper Roani.

The Great War, the beaten favorite in the John Battaglia Memorial who bled and ran last in that race, is off the Derby trail and will not run. Wesley Ward, who trains The Great War, said he will not have a Spiral starter.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - The remnants of Thursday’s winter storm are likely to have an impact on Saturday’s card at Aqueduct, which includes the Grade 3, $400,000 Gotham Stakes, two other stakes and a pick-six carryover of $148,147.

Though Saturday’s forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 38 degrees, Aqueduct’s inner track is expected to be wet, according to Glen Kozak, the New York Racing Association's vice president of facilities and racing surfaces.

“It’s going to be a muddy track tomorrow for sure,” Kozak said Friday afternoon.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Oaklawn Park will put on one of the most significant programs of its meet next Saturday, with champion Untapable expected to make her 4-year-old debut in the Grade 2, $300,000 Azeri and champions American Pharoah and Take Charge Brandi on schedule to meet in the Grade 2, $750,000 Rebel Stakes.

The program also will include the Grade 3, $250,000 Razorback Handicap.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - The one-week postponement of last Saturday’s Grade 3 Palm Beach Stakes due to heavy rain caused trainer Bill Mott to change his plans for Grade 3 winner Dubai Sky, who would have been the favorite had the race gone off as scheduled last weekend.

The best horses to step onto the Turfway Park main track this week were there Tuesday, a dark day, when trainer Wesley Ward sent four Breeders’ Cup starters from Keeneland to work over Turfway’s synthetic Polytrack surface.

Among his many workers Tuesday were Hootenanny and Luck of the Kitten, the one-two finishers from the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf, as well as Juvenile Fillies Turf runner-up Sunset Glow and Turf Sprint third-place finisher Undrafted.
