VANCOUVER, British Columbia – If hard work is one of the ingredients to success, then apprentice Corrine Andros is on her way to a solid career as a jockey. She also displayed burgeoning talent when she won four races at Hastings last Saturday.

It is difficult to track down Andros in the morning because she’s one of the hardest-working jockeys at Hastings and is usually exercising or working a horse. She wouldn’t have it any other way.

“This isn’t work,” Andros said. “I go a bit crazy if I’m not on a horse.”

AUBURN, Wash. – Trainer Doris Harwood will send out a powerful one-two punch Sunday when she starts Del Rio Harbor and Noosito as leading contenders in the $50,000 Auburn Handicap at Emerald Downs. The meeting’s first stakes for 3-year-olds highlights a nine-race card beginning at 2 p.m. Pacific.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Kentucky Oaks winner Untapable will not race in the Acorn Stakes on the huge Belmont Stakes undercard June 7 and will wait instead for the next Grade 1 race at Belmont Park in the 3-year-old filly division, the Mother Goose Stakes on June 28, trainer Steve Asmussen confirmed Friday.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – An equine tragedy struck Churchill even before the nine-race program began Thursday when a 5-year-old mare named Never Tell Lynda died in a freak accident on the racetrack while being walked to the paddock for a schooling session prior to the first race.

According to trainer Kenny Wirth, the mare suddenly spooked from a loud sound coming from an infield speaker, reared up, and landed on her head, crushing her skull. The mare was euthanized immediately after veterinarians arrived on the scene shortly thereafter.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Trainer Tom Amoss said Delaunay likely will make his next start in the Grade 3, $100,000 Aristides, a six-furlong race next Saturday, May 31, at Churchill. The 7-year-old gelding, an earner of $917,593, breezed four furlongs Thursday, his first work since finishing fifth in the May 3 Churchill Downs Stakes.

The main track at Gulfstream Park has favored speed on a pretty regular basis since the meet began Dec. 1, but never more so than over the past several weeks. That means players should lean toward using horses who figure to be on or near the front in the two dirt races in Monday’s Rainbow Six sequence.

OPELOUSAS, La. – The best in the Bayou State are set to assemble Saturday at Evangeline Downs for Louisiana Legends Night. Eight stakes, all restricted to Louisiana-breds, will be worth a combined $750,000. First post is 5:40 p.m. Central.

Top billing on the Legends program has to go to Sunbean, who will be the prohibitive favorite in the $100,000 Legends Classic. So formidable is Sunbean that only four rivals could be coaxed into facing him.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Preakness runner-up Ride On Curlin will have his third rider in as many Triple Crown races when John Velazquez pilots him in the Belmont Stakes.

Velazquez, a two-time winner of the Belmont, replaces Joel Rosario, who is committed to ride Peter Pan winner Tonalist in the Belmont. Rosario replaced Calvin Borel, who rode Ride On Curlin to a seventh-place finish in the Kentucky Derby.

Billy Gowan, the trainer of Ride On Curlin, said he’s sorry to lose Rosario, but happy to have Velazquez.
