Before putting him on a van headed to Saratoga, trainer Jose D'Angelo worked Abraham Gold's Howard Wolowitz (Munnings) on the all-weather Tapeta at Gulfsteam Sunday. Unraced since a trip to Saudi Arabia in late February, the 4-year-old breezed four furlongs in :44.36, fastest of 17 horses, in his second work since finishing 10th the 1351 G2 Turf Sprint Feb. 22 at King Abdulaziz Racecourse. “He was sharp,” he said. “He worked pretty good. It was his last workout before going to Saratoga with the ultimate goal to run at Kentucky Downs in September. I'm very happy with the way he's doing.” Howard Wolowitz graduated second time out with a 7 ¾- length maiden special weight romp last June at Gulfstream. His next four starts came in stakes, marked by victories in the GI Franklin-Simpson Stakes at Kentucky Downs and Holiday Cheer Stakes at Turfway Park to cap his sophomore campaign. “He came back from Saudi and we gave to him some time off. He ran hard all last year. I think that was the key because the horse is doing very well,” D'Angelo said. “We'll see if he's ready and if he can have one run at Saratoga before Kentucky Downs.” Also on the worktab Sunday, Leon King Stable Corp.'s Bentornato breezed four furlongs in :48.86 on the Tapeta after turning in four three-furlong moves on the main track at Palm Meadows, Gulfstream's satellite training facility in Palm Beach County. Bentornato won the FSS Dr. Fager and Affirmed in 2023 but was denied a sweep of the series for 2-year-old Florida-breds, finishing third in the In Reality. Last year, he was third in the G3 Saudi Derby and second in the GII Robert Hilton Memorial prior to winning the GII Gallant Bob Stakes. He finished second in the GI Breeders' Cup Sprint in his most recent start. “He worked good, too. We gave him time off after the Breeders' Cup and he's doing very well, also. We're looking forward to running him at Saratoga,” D'Angelo said. “I don't have him fit enough yet so I'm waiting to see when he will be ready.” Rounding out D'Angelo's Gulfstream workers, Soldi Stable and Qatar Racing's Gabaldon (Gone Astray) covered five furlongs in :57.26. The 3-year-old was scratched from an open 5 1/2-furlong allowance on the Gulfstream synthetic July 13 which would have been his first start since a third in the March 22 Texas Glitter. Gabaldon raced twice at 2, winning Gulfstream's Royal Palm Juvenile in his career debut to earn a trip to England for the prestigious Royal Ascot meet, where he ran second in the Windsor Castle Stakes. He is slated to make his graded debut in a 5 ½-furlong turf sprint for 3-year-olds Aug. 10. “He looked good today,” D'Angelo said. “He's running in the [GIII] Mahony Stakes at Saratoga next month.” Howard Wolowitz, Bentornato and Gabaldon–scheduled to leave Monday for Saratoga–will be accompanied by Arindel's Monster (Leinster), a nine-length winner going five furlongs on the turf May 23 at Gulfstream his third start. Monster went a half-mile in :48.30 Saturday at Palm Meadows, third-fastest of 75 horses, and is being pointed to either the Aug. 2 Tyro Stakes at Monmouth Park or Aug. 16 Skidmore Stakes at Saratoga, both sprinting on the grass.

To most people Tuesday will be just another Tuesday, but for the racing industry it is an important date. It will mark the start to the 100-day countdown to the Breeders' Cup. To celebrate the occasion, the Breeders' Cup will launch its first-ever Annual Day of Giving, which will become a yearly event. The goal this year is to raise $200,000, which includes a generous pledge from Ken Freirich, a racehorse owner and philanthropist. He will match up to $100,000 of all donations made on July 23. It's just one part of a bigger goal. Not only does the Breeders' Cup want to increase the amount of money it gives to racing-related charities, it wants to have an even higher profile within the industry than it does now. “We've been taking an increasing leadership role over the last five, six years for the industry,” said Breeders' Cup COO John Keitt. “A lot of issues have arisen, and not just for the Breeder' Cup, but for all sports, that are focused on accountability, sustainability and social responsibility. We felt this was an opportunity for us to show some leadership. There are some great organizations in the industry that have been donating to charities for a long time. We feel that we can complement that.” Breeders' Cup began its charitable endeavors about 20 years ago. Most of the money for the charities has come from the Breeders' Cup's cut on merchandise sales. This year, they want to make a bigger difference. “We decided this year to launch a revamped, re-purposed Breeders' Cup charities to try to make a bigger difference,” Keitt said. “We've been working on this for about a year. The Board has been very supportive. The first big step was when they authorized us to take all net royalties from merchandise sales and apply that to charity. That gives us a really strong foundation. What we're trying to do is build a more sustainable business model for the charity that relies on potential streams of revenue at our event. We're really changing things around with the idea of our program making a much more significant impact and to be a little bit more focused than we have been in the past.” The Breeders' Cup will now be looking to make more money for its charities from the event itself. Keitt said that one example is that the Breeders' Cup will take, for its charities, a percentage of the revenue spent on every official Breeders' Cup cocktail. Fans will have multiple ways to contribute to the Breeders' Cups' programs, including an option to make a donation when purchasing tickets to the event. According to a Breeders' Cup press release, significant contributions will be made across five core pillars: (i) Thoroughbred aftercare, (ii) jockey health and wellness, (iii) backstretch and industry workers, (iv) equine research and (v) other impactful community initiatives. The recipients will include, among others, the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund, the Grayson-Jockey Research Foundation and the Race Track Chaplaincy of America. “The charities that we have identified to start with are more than pleased with what are offering to give them,” Keitt said. Keitt said there will be a Phase II, where the Breeders' Cup will work directly with some of its charities to help them with their own fundraising efforts. “We will look at how we can join with organizations so that we can be even more impactful,” he said. “We want to partner with these organizations so we can tell their stories as well. This is part of the mandate the board has given us to be as involved in the overall industry as much as possible.” To make a donation go to www.breederscup.com/charities or call 859-514-9428.

Trainer Michael McCarthy remained noncommittal Sunday as to the next move with GI NYRA Bets Haskell victor Journalism (Curlin). Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Bridlewood Farm, Robert LaPenta, Elayne Stables Five, and the Coolmore connections of Mrs. John Magnier, Michael Tabor, and Derrick Smith,. However, Bob Baffert confirmed that Haskell third-place finisher, TDN Rising Star Goal Oriented (Not This Time), would make his next start in the GI Travers Stakes at Saratoga Aug. 23. “We'll get him home. He's flying home on Tuesday and then back [to the East Coast] for the Travers),” confirmed the Hall of Famer by phone from his base in Southern California Sunday. Journalism is campaigned by his breeder Don Alberto Stable in addition to Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Bridlewood Farm, Robert LaPenta, Elayne Stables Five, and the Coolmore connections of Mrs. John Magnier, Michael Tabor, and Derrick Smith. According to Eclipses' Aron Wellman, the colt will share a plane ride back to Southern California with Goal Oriented. “I'm just in awe of him in every respect. He's a treasure,” said Wellman. Asked what's next for Journalism, McCarthy said, “We've got a couple of scenarios to work out. We're just going to enjoy this for now.” Coming off a second-place finish in Saturday's Haskell, Gosger (Nyquist) appeared to have exited the race in fine shape and was scheduled to leave New Jersey mid-afternoon Sunday. “We were let down, but he ran a great race,” said assistant trainer Sean Dolan. “Journalism is obviously a very good horse. Hopefully, our horse will continue to improve, which he should do.” Winner of the GIII Lexington Stakes earlier in the season, Gosger also finished runner-up behind Journalism in the GI Preakness Stakes. Local hopeful Wildncrazynight (Midnight Lute), who finished last of eight in the Haskell, will return to New Jersey-bred competition, according to the colt's owner, Staton Flurry. “Hopefully, we can find a New Jersey-bred race for him next,” said Flurry. “That will be the ideal spot. He's run as good as anybody in the state-bred races and he's a nice horse. A very nice horse. We'll look for an allowance or one of the state-bred stakes coming up and have some fun.” The post Haskell Winner Journalism Heads West, Goal Oriented to Contest Travers appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
