    • The $500,000 GIII Delaware Handicap, to be contested Saturday, Sept. 26, is the focal point of the $4.3-million stakes schedule for 2026 at Delaware Park, track officials released on Friday. Once a fixture of the summer months, the nine-furlong contest is now positioned as a potential prep race for older fillies and mares that may be progressing towards the GI Breeders' Cup Distaff just over a month later. The base purse of the Del 'Cap increases to $600,000 if a Grade I winner from 2025 or 2026 enters and starts in the race. A minimum of $1 million is up for grabs on a program that features three other black-type races. Delaware's other graded event on the calendar is the $300,000 GIII Delaware Oaks, which is part of the June 13 program that also includes the $300,000 Delaware Derby. During the inaugural running of the Delaware Derby in 2025, the tack reported an all-time handle single-race record of nearly $6.5 million. Delaware will stage 75 days, with the 89th year of live racing set to begin Wednesday, May 13. Racing will continue through Saturday, Oct. 17. Click here for the full stakes schedule.

    • 4th-OP, $126K, OC 100k/C, 4yo/up, 1 1/16m, 2:32 p.m. ET. Sandman (Tapit), winner of last term's GI Arkansas Derby and third-place finisher in the GI Preakness S., kicks off his 4-year-old campaign in Hot Springs. The $1.2-million OBS March breezer was last seen finishing ninth in the grassy GIII DK Horse Nashville Derby Invitational S. at Kentucky Downs Aug. 30. He will race with first-time Lasix with Jose Ortiz aboard. He is owned in partnership by D. J. Stable, St. Elias Stable, West Point Thoroughbreds and CJ Stables and is trained by Mark Casse. “He had a long, hard campaign,” Casse said. “We ran him all winter long. No question he tailed off some in (late summer). Gave him some time off. He's grown up, he looks good. A big race here could set him up for the (GIII) Razorback (Feb. 28).” TJCIS PPS 6th-TAM, $55K, Msw, 3yo, 1m40yds, 2:42 p.m. ET. Make My Day (Gun Runner), a $1.1-million Keeneland September purchase by Spendthrift Farm and Repole Stable, will make his debut around two turns for Todd Pletcher. The bay is a half-brother to MGSW and GI Breeders' Cup Sprint runner-up Imagination (Into Mischief) and GSW & MGISP Occult (Into Mischief). Pletcher will also saddle the debuting Powershift (Constitution), a $500,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase by Repole Stable. TJCIS PPS 6th-GP, $84K, Msw, 3yo, 7f, 2:50 p.m. ET. Ezum (Essential Quality), a half-brother to MGISW Beach Patrol (Lemon Drop Kid), kicks off his career for trainer Brad Cox. The gray brought $485,000 from Shadwell Stable as a Keeneland November weanling. Palpable (McKinzie), a half-brother to GISW Declassify (Orientate), debuts for Tramp Hollow Stable and trainer Melanie Giddings. He brought $270,000 as a Keeneland September yearling. The field of 11 also includes promising second-time starters: $425,000 Keeneland September yearling Growth Equity (Nyquist), a solid second on debut for Chad Brown at Saratoga last summer; and OXO Equine homebred and 9-5 morning-line favorite High Camp (Instagrand), second with an 83 Beyer at Gulfstream Dec. 28.

    • I stand corrected on this. I was relying on the head post but when I read the original, I see there is actually a change to the existing rule as well as the addition.  
    • Having already been forced to cancel its live racing program for Saturday, Feb. 7, officials at Laurel Park have called off the card for Sunday, Feb. 8, citing continuing frigid temperatures across the Mid-Atlantic region. Live racing is expected to resume at Laurel on Thursday, Feb. 12, with a first post of 12 p.m. ET. The previously canceled card for Feb. 7 will not be redrawn and will be conducted that afternoon. Sunday's scheduled races will be listed as guaranteed extras on the overnights throughout next week. These races will be run over the weekend with the same number of horses after a redraw, provided they remain intact. Laurel Park and The Maryland Jockey Club OTB network will remain open on Sunday for simulcast. Aqueduct Racetrack is also closed both Feb. 7 and 8 due to the cold weather.
