INGLEWOOD, Calif. – The first running of the Redondo Beach Stakes in 2006 was won by Singalong, a Paddy Gallagher-trained European moving up from an allowance win.

When the eighth and final Redondo Beach at Betfair Hollywood Park is run Sunday, the one-mile turf race will have a familiar ring. Here again comes Gallagher, with another European import moving up in class at the top of her game.

Appealing seeks her third straight win in a surprisingly large field in the $70,000 Redondo Beach during the final spring meet at Hollywood.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Trainer Peter Miller is contesting the voided claim of Include the Cat here on June 2. Miller filed a complaint with the California Horse Racing Board on Thursday, alleging that state veterinarian Tim Grande had a “conflict of interest” when he placed the filly on the veterinarian’s list.

Dr. Diamonds Prize won the prep for the $100,000 Satin and Lace on May 12, and trainer Mark Hubley is confident she will win the stakes itself Sunday at Presque Isle Downs.

“She is back to 100 percent now, and I feel great about how she will do Sunday,” Hubley said.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Horsemen playing the claiming game constantly keep in mind a guiding principle: Run a horse for more than he’s worth and he will lose, but run a horse for what he’s worth and you might lose the horse. Shelters exist – safe havens.

One is age. An 8- or 9-year-old can repeatedly win at the same claiming level and not get claimed. “This can’t last,” rival horsemen assume. Another is price. Claims for $80,000 or $100,000 are rare. Even if a horse seems worth the money, he might not be by the time he has managed to earn it back.

One Quick Eagle can lay claim to being the fastest 2-year-old Quarter Horse stabled at Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico – at least until the Grade 1, $750,000 Ruidoso Downs Futurity is run on Sunday. She emerged as the fastest qualifier for the 350-yard race following a slate of 25 trials last month, and for the finale figures to be a slight favorite as she attempts to run her record to 2 for 2.

AUBURN, Wash. – E Z Kitty and Exclusive Diva, who stand head and shoulders above the rest of the filly and mare division at Emerald Downs, will renew their budding rivalry Sunday in the $50,000 Washington State Legislators Handicap at 6 1/2 furlongs. Only four others were entered to face the likely favorites, with Castinette Dancer, down from Hastings in Vancouver, British Columbia, offering the best chance for an upset.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Marketing Mix, the winner of the Grade 1 Gamely Stakes on May 27, will remain in California for her next start, trainer Tom Proctor said.

Proctor is considering running her in the $150,000 Royal Heroine Stakes over a mile on turf for fillies and mares on July 6 or the $100,000 Sunset Handicap against males over 1 1/2 miles on turf on July 14, the closing day of the spring-summer meeting.

The long-term goal is the $750,000 Beverly D. Stakes at Arlington Park on Aug. 17.

“I don’t want to take her back there for six or seven weeks,” Proctor said.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Game On Dude, California’s top handicap horse, is back on course for the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup at Betfair Hollywood Park on July 6 after a brief illness scare last week.

Thursday at Santa Anita, Game On Dude worked five furlongs in 1:00.40, his first workout since May 27. On May 31, Baffert expressed concern about Game On Dude’s well-being after the 6-year-old gelding did not finish his feed and showed an elevated temperature. Baffert said that Game On Dude’s appetite returned last weekend and that the temperature subsided.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Sahara Sky, the winner of the Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park on May 27, is likely to make his next start in Southern California.

Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer said on Friday that Sahara Sky will be considered for two Grade 1 sprint stakes – the $250,000 Triple Bend Handicap over seven furlongs here on June 29 or the $300,000 Bing Crosby Stakes over six furlongs at Del Mar on July 28.

Hollendorfer said a trip to Saratoga for the $500,000 Forego Stakes over seven furlongs on Aug. 31 remains a possibility.

OCEANPORT, N.J. – Trainer Shug McGaughey has big plans for Boisterous this season and they start with the Grade 2, $200,000 Monmouth Stakes on Sunday.

The race is the local prep for Monmouth Park’s premier turf stakes, the Grade 1 United Nations on July 6.

The Monmouth Stakes at 1 1/8 miles drew a solid field that also includes Wrote, winner of the 2011 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf; the consistent Big Blue Kitten; and Tune Me In, a two-time graded stakes winner here last summer.
