Princess of Sylmar has been assigned 123 pounds for Saturday’s Grade 1, $750,000 Delaware Handicap.

Princess of Sylmar, one of the leading fillies and mares in training, is expected to face a short cast in the 1 1/4-mile Del Cap. As of Monday, her rivals were expected to include Molly Morgan, 119; Flashy American, 118; Gamay Noir, 116; and Zucchini Flower, 112.

Molly Morgan is coming off a four-length win in the Grade 2 Fleur de Lis at Churchill Down for trainer Dale Romans. Flashy American, trained by Ken McPeek, finished second in that race.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Though Saturday’s inaugural “Stars and Stripes Racing Festival” at Belmont Park was a success, New York Racing Association officials were not pounding their chests Sunday morning.

“Yesterday was a good starting point,” said Martin Panza, NYRA’s senior vice-president of racing operations. "We can grow that day."

ELMONT, N.Y. – Princess of Sylmar completed preparations for her start in next Saturday’s Grade 1, $750,000 Delaware Handicap by working four furlongs in 48.85 seconds Sunday morning over Belmont Park’s training track.

ELMONT, N.Y. - The Breeders’ Cup is the major objective for the winners of Saturday’s two seven-figure Grade 1 turf races for 3-year-olds at Belmont Park, but how each horse gets there remained an unanswered question on Sunday morning.

CYPRESS, Calif. – Shared Belief will make his stakes debut against older horses Aug. 24 in the $1 million Pacific Classic at Del Mar, trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said Sunday, a day after the gelding’s win in the $500,500 Los Alamitos Derby.

Hollendorfer said he prefers the Pacific Classic over 1 1/4 miles on the Polytrack synthetic surface to a start in major stakes for 3-year-olds on the East Coast later this summer.

“Our interest is the Pacific Classic,” he said. “I’m not real interested in putting him on a plane.”

ELMONT, N.Y. – Tonalist, the Belmont Stakes winner, continued preparation for his upcoming start in the Grade 2, $600,000 Jim Dandy Stakes on July 27 by breezing five furlongs in 1:02.02 Sunday morning over Belmont Park’s main track.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Upset victories Saturday by Mr Speaker ($49) in the Grade 1 Belmont Derby and Zivo ($29.40) in the Grade 2 Suburban Handicap helped produce a two-day pick six carryover of $177,447 into Sunday’s card at Belmont Park.

Saturday’s card began with a carryover of $34,793 when the wager was not hit Friday, and an additional $250,276 was wagered into the pool Saturday.

Logical winners Dowse’s Beach ($6.30) and Clearly Now ($6.40) began the sequence, but double-digit prices completed the sequence. The consolation payout (5 of 6) was $11,887.

Kaigun has taken his game to a new level in his last three starts. It's possible he will finally be rewarded in Sunday's Grade 1 United Nations at Monmouth Park.

Kaigun has always been a useful horse. He won three of his first nine starts, a Polytrack maiden and a turf allowance at Woodbine and a second-level optional claimer on the grass at Gulfstream Park in February.

The Centaur at Indiana Grand has produced a candidate for the Secretariat, with the victorious General Jack pointed toward the $500,000, 3-year-old race here, according to trainer Mike Maker.

General Jack, winning his third race and his second in a row, won the one-mile Centaur by three lengths, and his time of 1:37.13 on firm turf produced a 92 Beyer.

“We’re going to point to the Secretariat with him,” Maker told Arlington publicity. “He just keeps improving off each race.”

Constitution, the winner of the Florida Derby in March, has resumed galloping at WinStar Farm in Versailles, Ky., and is scheduled to return to trainer Todd Pletcher’s barn at Saratoga in early August, said WinStar president Elliott Walden.

Constitution underwent surgery to have a screw implanted into a shin fracture shortly after it was announced April 19 that the colt was injured and would not make the Kentucky Derby.

“His recovery has gone very well,” said Walden. “I’d expect he might be up to a breeze in about three weeks.”
