    • The Stewards’ Stakes was Mystic Park’s first shot at black-type level, and he had to carry a 59kg topweight against a 16-horse field that was mostly on 53kg.
    • GUNS LOADED (c, 2, Gun Runner–Sky My Sky, by Bernardini), second at Saratoga Aug. 31 behind GI Claiborne Breeders' Futurity fourth Dapper Moon (Malibu Moon), came back second time out to break his maiden in 'TDN Rising Star'-style at Churchill Downs Saturday. With good early speed from an outside draw, the 3-1 shot showed the way into the stretch and held off a strong bid from race favorite Camp Hale (Mo Town) to get the front-running win. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0. O-Morplay Racing LLC, Platts, Joey and Lady Sheila Stable; B-John C. Oxley; T-Jose Francisco D'Angelo.

    • Off as the 13-10 chalk to improve for a debut second going six furlongs of the Gulfstream main track Oct. 19, Amo Racing USA's COOL INTENTIONS (c, 2, Authentic–Intentional Cry, by Street Cry {Ire}) stretched out to a mile and ran away from his rivals in the final sixteenth of a mile to become the 19th winner for his first-crop sire (by Into Mischief). Away without incident from his low draw, the $285,000 Keeneland September yearling was in the vanguard early, but came back nicely to sit on the back of pacesetting Forever Now (Global Campaign) down the backstretch. Pulled out three deep entering the turn, he looped rivals to wrest command outside the quarter pole, pinched a winning advantage passing the furlong marker and had about five lengths on Shot in the Dark (Uncle Mo) at the line. Sales history: $285,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0.

    • The field for Sunday's GIII Bob Hope Stakes, a seven-furlong event for 2-year-olds at Del Mar, features a small and somewhat eclectic group of six. Take, for example, MGISP McKinzie Street (McKinzie). The Tim Yakteen trainee impressed in his sprint debut earlier in the summer but has had the misfortune of running second and third in a pair of Grade I's including a last-out third to the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner Citizen Bull (Into Mischief) in the GI American Pharoah Stakes Oct. 5. He breaks from the rail and cuts back to the distance of his second two starts back (to Breeders' Cup runner up Gaming {Game Winner}) in the GI Del Mar Futurity. Trainer Mike McCarthy brings back the field's sole 'TDN Rising Star' as Bullard (Gun Runner) makes his second start since putting up an 84 Beyer Speed Figure in his six-furlong debut Sept. 1 where he closed to defeat Kalea Bay (Authentic). In fact, four of the six runners, Bullard included, will be stretching out to seven furlongs for the first time Sunday. The aforementioned Kalea Bay, one of a pair of Bob Baffert runners in the field and the pricier of the two at $700,000, ran into Citizen Bull has shown his own steady improvement over three starts, first behind Citizen Bull before losing the lead to Bullard in that Sept. 1 spot. The third time proved to the charm as he wired a field by 8 1/2 lengths at Santa Anita Sept. 28. He joins wildcard stablemate Madaket Road (Quality Road) who would make his first start in this spot Sunday. The $650,000 FTSAUG purchase was also cross-entered in a maiden special weight race at Churchill Downs Saturday. Completing the field are a pair of maidens, Maximus (Maximus Mischief) for Cesar DeAlba and Dr Ruben M (Vino Rosso) for Chief Stipe O'Neill. Both would appear to be part of an early pace set up as Maximus wired his maiden optional claimer by 9 1/4 lengths while Dr Ruben M broke through in his fourth start and cuts back from one mile where he lasted by three-quarters of a length.

    • Named a 'TDN Rising Star' for her 7 1/2-length romp at Keeneland in April, Shoot It True then took on the boys as the heavy favorite in the Kentucky Juvenile Stakes at Churchill Downs May 2 but weakened off the lead after fast fractions to finish fourth behind another classy filly in West Memorial (Caracaro). Unraced since that effort, she lined up again Saturday against the boys in her longest distance to date for Wesley Ward who opted to remove the blinkers for his 5-2 third choice. Sharp from the middle of the gate, Shoot It True went on with it up front while dealing with a pesky Kenny Be past the half in :46.12. Never letting that rival by, she rode the rail around the far turn and responded in kind to rousing by Frankie Dettori by opening up down the lane, coming under the wire geared down while clearly the class of the field. “She's a nice filly,” said Ward. “She relaxed a lot more. Took the blinkers off, but if you see the first part of the race, she is pricking her ears – with the blinkers they don't do that, because they don't know who is around them. So that is the reason I did that. I told Dave Reid, the owner here, that we were maybe about 80 percent fit, but she is a really, really good filly. I think she is going to be a much better 3, 4-year-old filly. So this will be the last start of the year for her and we will bring her back in the spring. Won't see her again until either Keeneland in the spring or here in the spring.” One of 79 stakes winners for Munnings, Shoot It True was a $340,000 yearling buy out of SARAUG for Preferred Equine. To the Moon Alice, a half-sister to GSW Unchained Melody (Smart Strike), saw her yearling Street Sense colt sell for $120,000 also at SARAUG. She is due back to Gunite after not taking on a Speightstown cover for last year.
