Beginning this Friday, there are seven racing days remaining at the Santa Anita spring meeting. The track will race from Friday through Sunday this weekend and will have a four-day racing week from June 12-15 that includes a rare Thursday program.
There are five stakes remaining at the meeting, including three Grade 3 races worth $100,000: Saturday’s Summertime Oaks for 3-year-old fillies, the Daytona Stakes at about 6 1/2 furlongs on the hillside turf course on June 14, and the San Juan Capistrano Stakes at about 1 3/4 miles on turf on June 15.
Sweet Azteca, the three-time stakes winner who missed her scheduled 2025 debut on Sunday at Santa Anita because of an apparent cut on a leg, resumed training on Wednesday and could race as early as next month.
“She’s back to the track,” trainer Richard Baltas said on Wednesday.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – The New York Racing Association will be offering many multiple-day wagers during the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival.
Beginning Thursday, there was a two-day pick four using races 9 (Grade 3 Poker) and 10 on Thursday with races 1 and 2 on Friday. There is a two-day pick four using Friday’s 13th (Grade 1 Just a Game) and 14th with races 1 and 2 Saturday. Both races have a 50-cent base and a 24 percent takeout.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Choisya, who shipped in from England to win the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland in April and has shipped back in again from England for Friday’s Grade 1 Just a Game here, is expected to remain in the United States for the summer, co-trainer Ed Crisford said.
Crisford said provided Choisya runs well in the Just a Game, at one mile, she would be pointed to the Grade 1 Diana, at 1 1/8 miles here July 12. Choisya, a 5-year-old daughter of Night of Thunder, won the Group 2 Balanchine at Meydan in Dubai at 1 1/8 miles earlier this year.
SARATOGA, SPRINGS, N.Y. – Gosger, the Preakness runner-up, returned to the work tab Wednesday at Churchill Downs, breezing a half-mile in 49.20 seconds. Gosger is preparing for a probable start in the Grade 1, $1 million Haskell on July 19 at Monmouth Park, trainer Brendan Walsh said.
“He came out of the Preakness in good order, we gave him an easy time of it since, and we’ll look forward to having him for the second half of the year,” Walsh said. “The Haskell looks like our plan with him.”
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Immersive, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2024 who was sidelined earlier this year by bone bruising, is scheduled to make her 3-year-old debut in the $175,000 Monomoy Girl Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 14, trainer Brad Cox said.
At 1 1/16 miles, the Monomoy Girl could set Immersive up for a return to graded stakes company later this summer at Saratoga with potential spots being the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks on July 19 and/or the Grade 1 Alabama on Aug. 16.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Six of the eight spots in the starting gate had been assigned for Saturday’s 157th Belmont Stakes and the name Journalism had not yet been called. The rail and the seven remained.
It caused a little bit of anxiety for Aron Wellman, president of Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, which co-owns Journalism, who didn’t want his horse and jockey Umberto Rispoli to start from the rail. Wellman exhaled when it was announced Journalism drew post 7.
