Jockey Chantal Sutherland, who announced her retirement here last fall but recently said that she would be making a comeback starting with the Del Mar meeting, has two mounts here Friday.

Sutherland, 37, is named on Solidus for trainer John MacKenzie in the fourth race and on As If I Care for trainer Ashlee Brnjas in the fifth.

Sutherland has enlisted the services of Don Parente, the jockey agent who represented her several years back.

“She’ll be riding here Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for now,” Parente said. “She still plans to ride at Del Mar.”

With the Ontario Racing Commission upholding trainer Brian Lynch’s indefinite suspension at a hearing Tuesday, Robbie Martin will be the trainer of record for the stable here.

Lynch’s suspension stems from an alleged confrontation with jockey Sunny Singh in a Woodbine parking lot on May 24. Lynch was charged May 25 with uttering death threats and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

[bc_video_id:294423:]ELMONT, N.Y. – The weather forecast for the 145th Belmont Stakes on Saturday at Belmont Park has worsened as the week has progressed, but as far as Tom Albertrani is concerned, “It’s getting better and better for us every time.”

ALTOONA, Iowa – Ginger Added, already a two-time sprint winner this meet, is the key to Friday night’s $75,000 Hawkeyes Handicap, a 1 1/16-mile event for Iowa-bred fillies and mares.

Ginger Added, the longstanding stable star for trainer Dick Clark, is 7 for 12 lifetime, all at Prairie Meadows, for earnings of $298,871. Throughout her career, she has excelled at sprinting and is just 1 for 4 around two turns.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Jade Dragon brings stakes credentials to Friday’s co-featured third race at Woodbine and should be favored in the 6 1/2-furlong allowance for Ontario-sired 3-year-olds.

Jade Dragon showed precocity at 2, when he graduated at first asking in early June, but he sat out two months last summer after ending far back in the high-quality Clarendon Stakes on June 30.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Neil Drysdale has found much success on the local turf courses through the years, with three Woodbine Miles and one Canadian International, Northern Dancer, Sky Classic, and Nearctic on his r é sum é .

But Drysdale will be looking for his first win on Woodbine’s Polytrack on Saturday when he sends out Kid Dreams in the 1 1/8-mile Plate Trial.

ELMONT, N.Y. – Trainers Shug McGaughey and Christophe Clement were keeping a close eye on the weather forecast for Friday at Belmont Park, because the predicted storm to hit the area would affect the $100,000 Mariensky Stakes, either forcing it to be run on a rain-softened inner turf course, or even move to the main track.

The Mariensky, for older fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles, drew seven horses in the main body of the race, with three more entered for the main track only.

Kentucky Derby winner Orb drew post 5 and Preakness winner Oxbow was assigned post 7 when a field of 14 was entered for the 145^th Belmont Stakes on Wednesday morning.

Orb was made the 3-1 Belmont Stakes favorite and Oxbow was listed as the third choice at 5-1. Louisiana Derby winner Revolutionary is the second betting choice at 9-2.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – The Ontario Racing Commission denied Tuesday a bid by trainer Brian Lynch to overturn a suspension handed down after an alleged altercation with a jockey in a Woodbine parking lot last month.

Lynch was suspended pending the outcome of a commission investigation into allegations by jockey Sunny Singh after an altercation May 24. Singh’s allegations led to criminal charges against Lynch and his arrest at Woodbine May 25.

There was hesitation by owner Stephen Young and trainer Paul Aguirre whether to start Tiz a Minister in Sunday’s Grade 3 Affirmed Handicap or skip the race in favor of the $100,000 Silky Sullivan Stakes for California-breds at Golden Gate Fields this Sunday.

Tiz a Minister stayed home, ran in the Affirmed over 1 1/16 miles, and won the most prestigious race of his career. There is little doubt where he will make his next start – in the $150,000 Swaps Stakes over 1 1/8 miles at Hollywood Park on July 4.
