ELMONT, N.Y. – Cozmic One, the first foal out of the champion mare Zenyatta, worked a half-mile in 49.45 seconds Friday morning over Belmont Park’s main track, his first official timed breeze.

Cozmic One, by Bernardini, worked in the middle of a trio of unraced 2-year-olds that included the El Corredor filly Shazara and the Smart Strike colt Smart Transition. Smart Transition, by Smart Strike, is out of the Brazilian-bred mare Zardana, best known for beating 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra in the New Orleans Ladies Stakes at Fair Grounds in March 2010.

While California Chrome’s much anticipated return to the races makes the Grade 2 Pennsylvania Derby the No. 1 attraction on the biggest day of the Parx racing season next Saturday, the Grade 1 Cotillion could prove the deeper of the two races.

With eight days until the race, division leader Untapable and two of her closest challengers, Sweet Reason and Stopchargingmaria, are under consideration for the $1 million Cotillion.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Trainer Dino Condilenios is looking for a better effort from Tapicero when he runs in the Grade 3, $150,000 British Columbia Derby at Hastings Sunday.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Woodward Stakes winner Itsmyluckyday is being pointed to the Grade 2, $400,000 Kelso Handicap on the Jockey Club Gold Cup undercard, trainer Eddie Plesa Jr. said Thursday.

The Kelso is a one-turn, one-mile race and could open up more options for Itsmyluckyday, such as the Breeders’ Cup or perhaps the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct in late November. Itsmyluckyday is not nominated to the Breeders’ Cup and would have to be supplemented to whichever race he might run in.

ELMONT, N.Y. – River Rocks, a winner of three consecutive sprints since arriving in John Terranova’s barn, is bound for the Grade 2 Kelso Handicap on Sept. 27.

River Rocks, a son of Western Pride, will be attempting a mile for the first time after dominating races from six to seven furlongs. On Aug. 31, he rolled to a 6 1/2-length victory in a third-level allowance race, earning a 110 Beyer Speed Figure.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Tonalist, the Belmont Stakes winner, likely will have a change of equipment when he makes his next start Sept. 27 in the $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park, trainer Christophe Clement said.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. -  Little Mike, who has started just once in 2014, will not race again this year, owner-trainer Carlo Vaccarezza said on Thursday.

Little Mike, winner of the 2012 Breeders’ Cup Turf, cruised to an easy victory in the Flying Pidgeon overnight stakes here at Gulfstream Park on May 17 in his first start since closing out his 2013 campaign with a ninth-place finish in the Honk Kong Cup. He has been stabled at Gulfstream throughout the summer, but nagging foot issues have kept him out of training for much of that time.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Little Alexis, who finished a troubled and late-running third in the Grade 1 Test Stakes, worked six furlongs in 1:15.85 on Thursday at Gulfstream Park in her final major prep for the Grade 1 Cotillion at Parx on Sept. 20.

Little Alexis broke off at the five-furlong pole, cruised through an easy opening three-eighths in 37.91 seconds, hit the wire in 1:03.41 while still in hand, then finished strong, completing her work at the mile pole on the clubhouse turn.

Artemis Agrotera, the dominant winner of the Grade 1 Ballerina on Aug. 23, will run in the Grade 2, $300,000 Gallant Bloom Handicap on Sept. 20 as a prep for the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint, trainer Mike Hushion said Wednesday.

Hushion said he would rather run the New York-bred 3-year-old filly again as opposed to simply training up to the Breeders’ Cup.

“To train her 10 weeks and work her seven times, I’d rather get one good race in her. That would fit the bill the best,” he said.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Ten 3-year-olds were entered at Hastings on Wednesday for the Grade 3, $150,000 British Columbia Derby. The 1 1/8-mile feature headlines a solid 10-race card Sunday that includes the $100,000 British Columbia Oaks.
