After picking up small pieces of stakes purses in each of her last three starts in New York, the 3-year-old filly Railtown Girl will ship to Parx Racing for Monday’s $47,000 feature. The 6 1/2-furlong, first-level allowance for fillies and mares will represent Railtown Girl’s first attempt against older horses.

As a 2-year-old last April, Railtown Girl sold for $230,000 at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. auction, the 14th-highest price at that spring sale. She did not make her racing debut until December, when she easily won her maiden sprinting 5 1/2 furlongs at Laurel Park.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – On Fire Baby indicated she may be a force in this year’s older filly and mare division on Friday at Oaklawn Park when she won the Grade 1, $500,000 Apple Blossom Handicap in her first start at 4. For the effort, On Fire Baby earned a career-high Beyer Speed Figure of 101.

“I think she stepped right up in there with them,” said trainer Gary Hartlage. “We ought to have a pretty good year, I think. Not that we ain’t already had a pretty good year!”

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Wise Dan came out of his winning comeback in the Maker’s 46 Mile in fine shape and most likely will switch to dirt for his next race in the Stephen Foster Handicap in June, trainer Charlie LoPresti said Saturday at Keeneland.

LoPresti said Wise Dan “ate up good and isn’t as tired as I thought he’d be. He’s settled but not knocked out. I’m just glad we got the race behind us and got that monkey off our backs.”

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - There were three scratches from Saturday’s Grade 2, $200,000 Distaff Handicap at Aqueduct, including that of morning-line second choice Spectacular Sky.

Also scratched were Villanesca and Hearts of Red, leaving a four-horse field that figured to have a heavy favorite in the undefeated New York-bred Cluster of Stars.

Marty Wolfson, the trainer of Spectacular Sky, said his mare developed a fever after shipping in earlier in the week from south Florida. Wolfson was still represented in the race by Nakano, who was to be ridden by Irad Ortiz Jr.

Blueeyesintherein remained undefeated when she shuttled up the inside to win the $75,000 Instant Racing for 3-year-old fillies on Friday at Oaklawn Park while making her first start since June. She won by 3 3/4  lengths over Boss Barney’s Babe, while it was another neck back in third to American Sugar.

Blueeyesintherein ($11.60) settled in fifth early as Ile St. Molly set fractions of 22.5 seconds for the opening quarter and 46.61 for a half-mile. Blueeyesintherein found room along the inside and went on to cover the six furlongs  in 1:10.76.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - On Fire Baby became a Grade 1 winner in her first start since last May on Friday at Oaklawn Park, when she led a local sweep of the $500,000 Apple Blossom Handicap. She won by a half-length over Tiz Miz Sue, while it was another four lengths back in third to Don’t Tell Sophia.

Grace Hall, the even-money favorite, was forced to check in the first turn and finished seventh. 

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Wise Dan, the 2012 Horse of the Year, made a successful and well-received return to action Friday when he was kept clear of traffic throughout by jockey Jose Lezcano in capturing the 25th running of the Grade 1, $300,000 Maker's 46 Mile at Keeneland.

Charlie LoPresti, who trains Wise Dan for owner-breeder Mort Fink, seemed more relieved than elated after the 6-year-old gelding drove to a one-length victory over Data Link.

"I didn't have him totally cranked up today," said Lopresti. "He's just got that desire to win."

Sunny Desert, who has won seven of her last eight starts, makes a quick turnaround when she heads a field of six entered in Sunday’s $75,000 Shot Berry Stakes.

Sunny Desert is coming back just two weeks after winning the Broadway Stakes on March 30.

“Normally, I wouldn’t do something like this,” trainer John Parisella said. “It’s against everything I believe in, but she’s just doing great.”

Parisella said he plans to run Sunny Desert just once more after this – in a stakes at Belmont on June 1 – before giving her a lengthy vacation.

Princess of Sylmar, the runner-up to Close Hatches in the April 6 Gazelle, was scheduled to join stablemate Verrazano on a Sunday flight to Kentucky for a possible start in the Kentucky Oaks.

Trainer Todd Pletcher said Princess of Sylmar would train over the Churchill surface, and a determination would be made whether to run in the Oaks or wait for the Black-Eyed Susan at Pimlico two weeks later.

“Because of the pace scenario in the race the other day, we had to take her out of her running style a little bit,” Pletcher said.

Leading rider Daniel Centeno and fellow jockey Daniel Coa escaped serious injury Friday when both were involved in a spill during the running of the fifth race at Tampa Bay Downs.

Centeno, atop the rider standings at Tampa with 77 wins, was aboard the heavily favored Basilone when the 5-year-old, second-time starter broke down and fell leaving the turn of the six- furlong maiden claiming sprint. Coa, who was aboard Duppyzapper, was unseated when his mount swerved attempting to avoid the fallen horse and rider.
