Breeze On By Seeking Full Sweep Of Florida Sire Stakes Series In Saturday’s In Reality

Stonehedge LLC's Breeze On By will seek a sweep of the 2020 FTBOA Florida Sire Stakes series Saturday, when the undefeated homebred son of Cajun Breeze takes on eight rivals in Saturday's $400,000 In Reality at Gulfstream Park.

The In Reality, the 1 1/16-mile open-division final for 2-year-olds, and the My Dear Girl, the 1 1/16-mile final for juvenile fillies, will be joined on Saturday's program by the $150,000 FSS Wildcat Heir, a mile race for 3-year-olds and up. All three FSS stakes are for horses sired by accredited Florida Stallions. Supporting stakes will include the $75,000 Armed Forces, a mile turf stakes for 2-year-olds; the $75,000 My Dear Peggy, a mile turf stakes for juvenile fillies; and the $75,000 Hollywood Beach, a five-furlong turf dash for 2-year-olds.

Breeze On By captured the $100,000 FSS Dr. Fager at six furlongs Aug. 1 and the $200,000 FSS Affirmed at seven furlongs Aug. 29. The undefeated Ralph Nicks trainee, who captured his July 12 debut, will seek to become the fifth horse to sweep the FSS open division, joining Three Rules (2016), Sir Oscar (2003), Seacliff (1995) and Smile (1984).

“He's a nice horse. The question will be: Will he handle the two turns? That being said, he's done everything pretty handily so far,” Nicks said. “I love young horses. Stonehedge sends them to us early and let us do our job. It's fun to watch them develop. The ones who have talent you can mold into these kind of horses.”

Trainer Ralph Nicks, who won his fourth consecutive running of the Affirmed when Breeze On By romped to victory by 7 ½ lengths, has saddled the winners of eight Florida Sire Stakes series races since 2016.

“I've been blessed with some nice horses. It would be special to put him on the list with the other ones that have swept the series,” Nicks said.

Breeze On By provided Gil and Marilyn Campbell's Stonehedge Farm with a 15th victory in the tradition-rich series with his Affirmed score.

The gelded son of Cajun Breeze, who made a rather auspicious debut while capturing a July 12 maiden special weight race at Gulfstream by six lengths, set the pace in the six-furlong Dr. Fager before meeting a strong challenge from Gatsby at the top of the stretch. After Gatsby put his nose in front in mid-stretch, Breeze On By fought back gamely to prevail by a length.

In the Affirmed, Breeze On By was followed to the finish line by Nicks stablemates Big Daddy Dave and Seazan, who are also owned by Campbells, who achieved the superfecta with Kathleen O'Connell-trained fourth-place finisher Top Boss.

While Big Daddy Dave, who finished a distant second in the Affirmed, is scheduled to bypass the In Reality and start in the Hollywood Beach, Seazan will return in the FSS final. After a troubled second-place finish in his debut, the son of Khozan graduated in his second start Aug. 1. Seazan closed from ninth and last to finish third in the Affirmed.

“I honestly believe he is a two-turn horse,” Nicks said. “He'll be picking up lot of ground late. He's going to be even better the middle of next year than he is right now.”

Emisael Jaramillo has the return call aboard Breeze On By, while Samy Camacho is slated to ride Seazan.

Arindel's Gatsby will seek to rebound from a disappointing fifth-place finish in the Affirmed after giving Breeze On By a scare in the Dr. Fager. The homebred son of Brethren broke a step slow from his No. 1 post position before setting a pressured pace and faltering in the stretch.

An impressive winner of his April 12 debut, he rebounded from an off-the-board finish in the June 27 Bashford Manor (G3) at Churchill Downs with his gusty second-place finish in the Dr. Fager. The homebred son of Brethren pulled off an upset victory over heavily favored Golden Pal in his April 12 debut at 4 ½ furlongs at Gulfstream, chasing the Wesley Ward-trained odds-on favorite into the stretch before edging clear by three-quarters of a length. Golden Pal has gone on to impress on turf, finishing second in the Norfolk (G2) at Royal Ascot and winning the Skidmore Stakes at Saratoga handily by 3 ½ lengths.

Arindel and trainer Juan Alvarado will also be represented by Hercules, who debuted impressively at Gulfstream Aug. 29, scoring by 2 ½ lengths despite racing greenly through the stretch.

Cristian Torres has the call on Gatsby, while Hector Berrios has been named to ride Hercules, also a son of Brethren.

Kenneth Fishbein's Boca Boy, who finished third in the Dr. Fager, returns to FSS action Saturday after bypassing the Affirmed in favor of the Proud Man, an undercard turf stakes in which he finished second. Edgard Zayas will ride the son of Prospective.

Social Equality, Honesto and The Red Man round out the field.

Shared Sense Tabbed As 5-2 Morning Line Favorite In Sunday’s Oklahoma Derby

A competitive field of nine horses were drawn Wednesday morning for Sunday's Grade 3, $200,000 Oklahoma Derby at Remington Park, with Indiana Derby winner Shared Sense being made the 5-2 morning-line favorite.

The 32nd Oklahoma Derby is set for the 10th race of 11 on Sunday. The stakes-laded program of action begins at 3pm with the Oklahoma Derby set for 7:12pm. All times are Central.

The three horses with top earnings in the field are close in talent and in odds with Dean Martini at 7-2. He comes in as the winner of the Grade 3, $500,000 Ohio Derby and the top money earner in the field of nine horses at $393,202. Rowdy Yates, trying to become only the third Oklahoma-bred to win the Oklahoma Derby (Clever Trevor in 1989 and Shotgun Kowboy in 2015), is second in earnings with $346,556, and listed as the third-choice in the morning line at 4-1 odds. He will carry the colors of L and N Racing of Tulsa, Okla., and will be the hometown favorite, having won two stakes races over the Remington Park track as a 2-year-old last year. The favorite, Shared Sense, is third in earnings at $327,745.

Here's a closer look at your 2020 Oklahoma Derby field:

1 – Salow, 15-1

Owner: Tony Caver and D.K. Strickland of Cordova, Tenn.

Trainer: Terry Brennan

Jockey: Iram Diego

Undefeated Kentucky-bred colt by Distorted Humor, out of the Five Star Day mare Eve Giselle, is very lightly raced. He is two-for-two lifetime and both victories came over the turf. He won a maiden special weight race at Gulfstream Park in July at the Hallandale, Fla., track. He then followed that up with a win greensward at the first-level allowance level as the 2-1 favorite at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas on Aug. 2. He won his maiden race by 2-3/4 lengths and then scored by one length in allowance-company. He hasn't raced since Aug. 2, but has a bullet work at a half mile at Double M Training track in Arkansas, just outside of Hot Springs. He covered a half mile in :49.80 seconds breezing on Sept. 7. This will be the colt's first try in a stakes race. Earnings of $48,600.

2 – Creative Plan, 8-1

Owner: M and M Racing of Colleyville, Texas

Trainer: Karl Broberg

Jockey: Orlando Mojica

Another entrant with more experience on the turf than the dirt, but has shown a willingness to win. The gelded Kentucky-bred son of Creative Cause, out of the Divine Park mare Let's Park, has won four-of-seven in his career, two wins on the grass and two on the dirt or off-track. Five of his seven starts have come on turf courses. Both times he has started on the main track, he was a winner, however. His first win came on the turf course at Fair Grounds in New Orleans in a maiden claiming $30,000 race and he came home 3-1/4 lengths in front. His other three wins have come in allowance or allowance-optional claiming conditions at Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie, Texas, and Canterbury Park in Minnesota. His main track wins have both come at the one-mile distance. In his only stakes try, he ran third in the $100,000 Mystic Derby at Canterbury on July 15, beaten only one length. Trainer Karl Broberg has been the winningest conditioner in the country for six years. Earnings of $74,265.

3 – Rowdy Yates, 4-1

Owner: L and N Racing of Tulsa, Okla.

Trainer: Steve Asmussen

Jockey: Stewart Elliott

Trained by Steve Asmussen, the leading trainer in the country by money earned this year and 15-time leading trainer and all-time winningest trainer at Remington Park. Asmussen is a Hall of Famer nationally and in Oklahoma. He is a two-time winner of the Eclipse Award for top trainer in the country. This colt by Morning Line, out of the Yes It's True mare Spring Station, has won 5-of-11 starts lifetime, four of those in stakes races. He is a two-time stakes winner over this track surface, taking the $100,000 Oklahoma Classics Juvenile on Oct. 18, 2019, at six furlongs and the $75,000 Don McNeill Stakes on Nov. 15, 2019. Both of his local stakes triumphs were against fellow Oklahoma-breds. Other than his Oklahoma stakes wins, he also took home the $100,000 Ellis Park Juvenile on Aug. 19, 2019 and the $100,000 Riley Allison Derby at Sunland Park on Jan. 26 this year. Owners L and N Racing have sent out Lookin at Lee, who ran second in the Kentucky Derby, and Echo Town, a top sprinter/miler in the country this year.

4 – Liam, 15-1

Owner: Red Lane Thoroughbreds and JSM Equine of Lexington, Ky.

Trainer: Danny Pish

Jockey: Lane Luzzi

Another lightly raced Kentucky-bred colt, showing only three starts lifetime, but winning his only try around two turns last time out. This colt by Liam's Map, out of the Street Sense mare S S Pinafore, broke his maiden at 1 mile-70 yards by a full length in near wire-to-wire fashion. He began his career as a 2-year-old at Fair Grounds in New Orleans, sprinting six furlongs and finishing sixth, beaten five lengths. He improved in his second start, running second on Aug. 29 at Remington Park, his debut as a 3-year-old with maidens. Trainer Danny Pish stretched him out to a route race and he was the winner at 4-5 odds. Liam tries a stakes race for the first time. Earnings of $22,996.

5 – Shared Sense, 5-2

Owner: Godolphin Racing of Lexington, Ky.

Trainer: Brad Cox

Jockey: Richard Eramia

This Kentucky-bred colt by Street Sense, out of the Bernardini mare Collective, won the Grade 3, $300,000 Indiana Derby at Indiana Grand on July 8 as the 5-2 favorite. He has been first or second in five-of-nine starts lifetime. Has not been out since running fifth to Art Collector in the Ellis Park Derby on Aug. 9, but has worked forwardly at Churchill Downs at Louisville, Ky., since. Trainer Brad Cox is currently second in the country in money earned with his horses pocketing more than $11 million, second only to Asmussen's $14 million-plus.

6 – Code Runner, 10-1

Owner: Calumet Farm in Lexington, Ky.

Trainer: Steve Asmussen

Jockey: Lindey Wade

This Kentucky-bred colt by Honor Code, out of the Rock Hard Ten mare Nereid, was nominated to the Kentucky Derby, but never made it to the gate for the “run for the roses.” He did, however, compete in two graded stakes races this year, trying his wares in both the Grade 1, $500,000 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark., and the Grade 3, $500,000 Ohio Derby. Code Runner was soundly defeated by two in this field while in Ohio, both Dean Martini and Rowdy Yates, but you can never discount horses out of Asmussen's barn. His best finish in stakes-company was a fifth-place finish in the $100,000 Robert Hilton Memorial at Charles Town in West Virginia on Aug. 28. Earnings of $89,887.

7 – Avant Garde, 6-1

Owner: Gelfenstein Farm of Ocala, Fla.

Trainer: Jesus Lander

Jockey: Luis Quinonez

This gelded Kentucky-bred son of Tonalist, out of the Afleet Alex mare Dancing Afleet, is riding a four-race win streak at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, Fla., but all four victories have come in lesser company than he will face in a stakes race. Winning this race and the $120,000 portion of the purse would make possibly make him the “claim of the year.” Gelfenstein Farm claimed him for $10,000 out of a maiden race in Florida on Jun 10. Since the claim, trainer Jesus Lander has led him to the winner's circle in four races in a row, three of them around two turns. He has yet to race against stakes horses, but there's something to be said for a horse that likes to win and win easily. His four victories have come by a combined 17 lengths. His shortest victory margin has been 3-1/4 lengths. Earnings of $70,900.

8 – Mo Mosa, 8-1

Owner: Perry and Denise Martin

Trainer: Michael Maker

Jockey: Ramon Vazquez

This Kentucky-bred colt by Uncle Mo, out of the Eskendereya mare Roughing, competed in both the Grade 2, $400,000 Tampa Bay Derby and the Grade 1, $500,000 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn in Hot Springs, Ark. He did not fare well in those two huge races, but gets into this race off a win by 4-1/4 lengths in first-level allowance-company Aug. 22 at Ellis Park in his last start. He was a Kentucky Derby nominee but was moved off the Derby trail after poor performances in those graded stakes. Broke his maiden by 5-3/4 lengths at Turfway Park in northern Kentucky at the one-mile distance and won comfortably last time out at one mile by 4-1/4 lengths on Aug. 22 at Ellis Park in Henderson, Ky. Earnings of $78,020.

9 – Dean Martini, 7-2

Owner: Raise the BAR Racing and David Bernsen

Trainer: Thomas Amoss

Jockey: David Cabrera

This Kentucky-bred colt has two wins lifetime and nine in-the-money runs from 11 starts. Owned by Raise the BAR Racing and David Bernsen, who also owns a computer wagering business in Point Loma, California. This 3-year-old gelding by Cairo Prince, out of the Friends Lake mare Soundwave, won the Grade 3, $500,000 Ohio Derby at Thistledown on June 27, beating Storm the Court (ran third), who was last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner. He followed that with a sixth-place run in the $200,000 Ellis Park Derby.

Remington Park racing continues this week with a special Wednesday-Sunday night schedule. Wednesday through Saturday first post is 7:07pm with nine races each night. On Sunday, Oklahoma Derby Day, there will be 11 races starting at 3pm.

Saturday’s Delaware Card Features Six Stakes On ‘May The Horse Be With You’ Owners Day

Owners Day at Delaware Park will showcase the best of the best in Delaware racing this Saturday. The theme of the 28th renewal celebrating the contributions of horse owners to the sport is “May the Horse Be With You.” The eleven race card with a total entries of 122 will offer total purses of $752,500. The card offers six stakes, four for Delaware bred or certified Thoroughbreds and two restricted to horses that have started at Delaware Park this year.

The horse of the day is Michael Dubb and Bethlehem Stables' Maythehorsebwithu who is entered in the five and a half furlong $100,000 First State Dash which is restricted to Delaware bred or certified 2-year-olds.

The gelded son of Bullsbay has one win from two career starts. The Pennsylvania-bred trained Brittany Russell posted a 10 ¼-length score in his career debut in a $40,000 maiden claiming event going five and a half furlongs at Delaware Park on July 16. He followed by running fifth in a five and a half furlong allowance at Delaware Park on August 26.

“The name and the theme of the day must be a coincidence, but when I saw the pamphlet, I thought, I have got to run him, so hopefully it is a good omen,” said trainer Brittany Russell. “His nickname in the barn is actually “Luke” as in Luke Skywalker. He is doing really well. I am tossing out the last race because I just do not think he was himself that day. He is kind of an ornery horse with a lot of energy and he is typically quite a handful to train. When he was walking the shed before we took him over, it seemed like he was being too good and quiet which is kind of out of character for him. I decided I was probably thinking too much about it, so we brought him over and he ran a bit of a clunker. He did not really have an excuse, so after the fact I am thinking maybe he was having an off day. Since then, he has been training awesome. We are adding blinkers because it seems like he does need a little help focusing, so we are hoping he runs like he did the first time.”

Russell has entered two others in the Owners Day stakes. The 30-year-old trainer has Cash is King and LC Racing's Juror Number Four in the Small Wonder Stakes going five and a half furlongs for Delaware bred or certified 2-year-old fillies and Madaket Stables, Ten Strike Racing, Michael Kisler and Black Cloud Racing's Whereshetoldmetogo in the New Castle Stakes going six furlongs for Delaware bred or certified 3-year-olds and upward.

In her last, Juror Number Four broke her maiden by 2 ½-lengths going six furlongs at Laurel Park on September 11. Previously, the Maryland-bred daughter of Into Mischief ran third in her career debut going six furlongs at Delaware Park on August 13.

“Juror Number Four broke her maiden last time out at Laurel and she ran really well,” said Russell. “I also think she ran really well her first time out when she ran third at Delaware Park. I do not put a lot of emphasis on winning first time out especially with my younger horses, but we did like her enough that we thought maybe she could get the job done first time out, but that was not really the goal. She hooked a pretty decent filly that day and she did not embarrass herself. She came back and ran the way we thought she would the second time out. It is back a bit quick. I do not love to run them back in about two weeks, but she is doing really well after her maiden victory and I do not think it took a lot of her, so we are going to take a shot since it is restricted and it is worth $100,000. I think she is going to run well.”

Whereshetoldmetogo has a career record of seven wins, four seconds and two thirds from 21 starts with earnings of $401,291. The 5-year-old son of El Padrino has notched three victories and second from four career outings at Delaware Park. In his last, the Maryland-bred ran fourth in the six furlong $100,000 Polynesian Stakes at Laurel Park on September 5.

“I have not had him terribly long and last time the goal was to get a run into him,” Russell said. “He ran well and I think he needed it. He worked really nicely on September 20. We are hoping he steps forward off that race, he likes Delaware, and I think we have him in a spot where hopefully he will run a big one.”

Warrior’s Charge To Prep For Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile In Saturday’s Ack Ack At Churchill Downs

Ten Strike Racing and Madaket Stables' multiple stakes winner Warrior's Charge tops a full field of 14 that were entered in Saturday's $100,000 Ack Ack (Grade 3) at Churchill Downs.

The one-mile Ack Ack, carded as Race 9 with a post time of 4:53 p.m., could serve as a prep for the $1 million Breeders' Cup Big Ass Fans Dirt Mile (GI) on Nov. 7 at Keeneland. First post Saturday is 12:45 p.m.

Trained by Brad Cox, Warrior's Charge was elevated to first in last month's Philip H. Iselin Stakes (G3) at Monmouth after interference by Pirate's Punch in the stretch. Warrior's Charge, a 4-year-old son of Munnings, won the $500,000 Razorback (G3) at Oaklawn earlier this year and finished second behind By My Standards in the $600,000 Oaklawn Handicap (G2).

Jockey Florent Geroux will ride Warrior's Charge in the Ack Ack from post No. 1.

Among the other rivals that entered Saturday's affair include Don Tiger's multiple graded stakes winner American Anthem; Calumet Farm's 2019 Preakness (GI) runner-up Everfast; Allied Racing and Spendthrift Farm's four-time Grade III hero Mr. Money; and Heads Up Racing and M and M Racing's multiple stakes winner Pioneer Spirit.

In total, the Ack Ack field has combined for 65 wins and more than $6.94 million in purse earnings.

The complete field for the Ack Ack in order of post position (with jockey and trainer): Warrior's Charge (Geroux, Cox); Bourbon Calling (Brian Hernandez Jr., Ian Wilkes); Proverb (Adam Beschizza, Richard Baltas); American Anthem (James Graham, Mike Maker); Mr. Money (Gabriel Saez, Bret Calhoun); Pioneer Spirit (David Cohen, Robertino Diodoro); Alkhaatam (Declan Cannon, Danny Peitz); Ebben (Corey Lanerie, Steve Margolis); Bankit (Ricardo Santana Jr., Steve Asmussen); Thirstforlife (Chris Landeros, Wes Hawley); Dinar (Rafael Bejarano, Cherie DeVaux); Home Base (Joe Rocco Jr., Mike Tomlinson); and Everfast (Julien Leparoux, Jack Sisterson).
