HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Keepmeinmind put in a significant work on Tuesday at Oaklawn Park as he continues preparations for the Grade 3, $750,000 Southwest Stakes on Feb. 15.

The race will be his first start since he won the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club on Nov. 28 at Churchill Downs.

Keepmeinmind worked over a fast track after the second renovation break Tuesday, on a sunny morning that reached 40 degrees. Keepmeinmind breezed five furlongs by himself, covering the distance in a bullet 59 seconds. Jockey David Cohen was aboard.

Keeneland Racecourse in Lexington, Ky., plans to run its full complement of spring stakes this year, according to a schedule distributed by the track on Tuesday, but several of the track’s most high-profile races will take purse cuts due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its operations.

The 3-year-old colt Palazzi is 0 for 4 on dirt and now 2 for 2 on turf after moving from a Fair Grounds grass maiden win in December to a winning performance Sunday at Sam Houston in the $200,000 Texas Turf Mile.

Mystic Guide, whose most recent start produced a close second-place finish in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup on Oct. 10, will launch his 4-year-old campaign Feb. 13 at Oaklawn Park in the $600,000 Razorback, trainer Mike Stidham said Sunday.

New Orleans native son Al Stall had his best day of the 2020-21 Fair Grounds season this past Saturday, when he sent out sharp 3-year-old maiden winner He’s in Charge and cut back the turf filly In Good Spirits to good effect.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Trainer Mark Casse said he would like to try the flashy maiden winner Soup and Sandwich in a two-turn race for his next start, but not necessarily on the Kentucky Derby trail.

Bred and owned by the Live Oak Plantation of Charlotte Weber, Soup and Sandwich earned an 89 Beyer Speed Figure in winning his career debut at six furlongs last Thursday at Gulfstream. The gray 3-year-old colt is by the red-hot sire Into Mischief.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Every weekend seems to bring a milestone or some sort of stakes success to Todd Pletcher. Last weekend brought both.

Pletcher became the first trainer in North American racing history to surpass the $400 million earnings mark on Saturday, the same day he won the Grade 3 Forward Gal at Gulfstream for the fourth time. Zaajel, a Shadwell Stable homebred, earned a 68 Beyer Speed Figure in winning the seven-furlong race as a 3-5 favorite.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – Filly-mare turf runners will take the weekend spotlight at Gulfstream Park when the Suwannee River and Ladies Turf Sprint are renewed Saturday.

The Grade 3, $100,000 Suwannee River and the $100,000 Ladies Turf Sprint will anchor a program marking a respite of sorts from the last two Saturdays here, when the Pegasus World Cup and Holy Bull highlighted huge cards on Jan. 23 and 30, respectively.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Santa Anita will have four stakes on Saturday’s program, which is scheduled to start at noon and include 10 races.

The track postponed the Grade 2 San Marcos Stakes from last Saturday to this Saturday because of extensive rain on Jan. 28-29. The forthcoming Saturday program already includes the Grade 2 San Vicente Stakes for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs, the Grade 3 Thunder Road Stakes for turf milers, and the Grade 3 Las Virgenes Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at a mile.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Wildman Jack, a multiple stakes winner in sprints on turf and dirt, is likely to have his next start in the Group 1 Golden Shaheen Sprint at six furlongs on dirt at Meydan Racecourse on March 28 in Dubai.

Wildman Jack won the Grade 3 Palos Verdes Stakes at six furlongs on Jan. 23 at Santa Anita, drawing away by 4 1/4 lengths. Trainer Doug O’Neill said the Group 1 Al Quoz Sprint at about six furlongs on turf on March 28 at Meydan is another possibility.

“We’ll probably lean dirt,” O’Neill said.
