SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Search Results, the Grade 1 Acorn winner and Kentucky Oaks runner-up, will be put away for the remainder of the year and be pointed to a 4-year-old campaign in 2022, trainer Chad Brown said over the weekend.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Though trainer Chad Brown participated in both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness this spring, an argument could be made that the best 3-year-old in his barn was still a maiden when those races were being run.

An injury suffered last fall prevented Miles D from making it onto the Triple Crown trail. But the son of Curlin has shown enough in just two starts this year for Brown to take a swing at Saratoga’s biggest prize, Saturday’s Grade 1, $1.25 million Travers Stakes.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Trainer Mike Trombetta probably made a wise decision bypassing Saturday’s Grade 3 Seaway with last year’s Canadian champion older female Souper Escape, in which Boardroom put up a big 98 Beyer Speed Figure in a dominant 4 1/2-length score.

Souper Escape won the Grade 3 Trillium for the second straight year in her season debut June 26. Instead of trying to win the Seaway for the second year in a row with her, Trombetta felt it would be more prudent to wait for the $100,000 Belle Mahone Stakes going 1 1/16 miles here Sept. 12.

DEL MAR, Calif. – Jockeys Tyler Baze, Emily Ellingwood, Cesar Ortega, and Tiago Pereira were taken to a local hospital for precautionary observations after a frightening seven-horse spill in Sunday’s seventh race at Del Mar.

None of the horses involved in the incident appeared to suffer injuries, according to a track official.

DEL MAR, Calif. - The comeback of Hall of Fame jockey Victor Espinoza is underway this summer, and gearing toward the Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar in a little more than two months.

When Espinoza recorded a surprise win aboard 24-1 Astronaut in Saturday’s Grade 2 Del Mar Handicap, it ended his nine-month drought in Southern California stakes wins, dating to Red Flag’s triumph in the Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes here last November.

The summer goal was defined early on for Malathaat and was achieved on Saturday when she won the Grade 1, $600,000 Alabama Stakes at Saratoga.

The goal for the fall is less defined. While trainer Todd Pletcher told the New York Racing Association publicity department Sunday morning that the $2 million Breeders' Cup Distaff at Del Mar on Nov. 6 is “the most likely scenario,” Rick Nichols, the racing manager for Shadwell Stable, which owns Malathaat, said Sunday the $6 million Classic “will be an option that we would look at.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Trainer Chad Brown paid Technical Analysis the ultimate compliment following her impressive victory in Saturday’s Grade 2 Lake Placid when he compared her to Dayatthespa, a horse he trained who earned over $2.2 million and capped her outstanding career with a victory in the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf.

Trainer Michael Ewing was breathing a profound sigh of relief Saturday as Bold and Bossy, the 2-year-old filly who galloped down a highway near Ellis Park, was back safe in her stall and free of significant injuries. Ewing also expressed profound gratitude for all in the racing community who came to the assistance of Bold and Bossy.

“The good news is she’s fine,” said Ewing, who also owns Bold and Bossy. “What a disaster it could have been. By the grace of God she wasn’t hit. I hear she was almost hit, and thank God she wasn’t hit.”

DEL MAR, Calif. - The 20-cent Jackpot pick six paid $10,521 at Del Mar on Saturday, a day with a mandatory payout and a track record pool of $8,876,771 in new money.

The pick six helped Del Mar to an all-sources handle of $36,005,612, a record for a non-Breeders’ Cup Day. The previous mark of $25.8 million for a non-Breeders’ Cup day was set on Pacific Classic Day in 2018.

Saturday’s pick six began with a carryover of $1,874,996 from Friday. The pool of new money surpassed the previous record of $6.65 million for a pick six set in September 2010.

The 2-year-old filly Bold and Bossy escaped serious injury Saturday following a frightening gallop down a highway prior to the first race at Ellis Park.

Bold and Bossy, who was set to make her career debut, dropped her rider in the post parade for the first race. She proceeded to jump a fence, run around the levy that surrounds the racetrack, and went out on Highway 41, according to Barbara Borden, a steward presiding at Ellis Park.
