Saturday's Azeri Stakes: 1 - Thorpedo Anna 2 - Alpine Princess 3 - Jody's Pride 4 - Wild Bout Hilary 5 - Recharge 6 - Free Like a Girl 7 - Bow Draw

Journalism is a monster. That was a powerful move to overtake Barnes in the stretch and win the San Felipe.

Late-running Sovereignty is the spitting image of Bernardini, his broodmare sire. Interesting #KyDerby prospect for Bill Mott.

#KyDerby alum Just a Touch looked fantastic in his return, romping in an allowance at Fair Grounds. Keep an eye on this son of Justify. #onetowatch

Berlin Wall is OUT of the San Felipe, which means a reduction to 75% of #KyDerby points will be awarded.

Ferocious is off the #KyDerby trail with a muscle tear. www.drf.com/news/ferocio...

Trainer Michael McCarthy on Journalism: "He's not totally cranked up, but he's where he needs to be. The race will move him forward."

Saturday's San Felipe Stakes @santaanitapark: 1 - Mellencamp 2 - Journalism 3 - Barnes 4 - Rodriguez 5 - Smooth Cruisein 6 - Berlin Wall

Just a Touch set to return Saturday in an allowance (race 6) at Fair Grounds.

Watched the overhead replay of the Rebel. Coal Battle is a brawler. Bumped and jostled, shifted and swerved, and he still accelerated and passed horses. Type of colt who would relish a #KyDerby scrum.

California Burrito will be a popular hunch bet for casual fans if he makes the #KyDerby.

Silver Charm celebrates his birthday today at Old Friends.

Just Steel, who had surgery after last year's Preakness, set to return in race 7 at Oaklawn Park tomorrow (Sunday).

UPDATE: First Resort is OUT of Saturday's John Battaglia per Kevin Kerstein of Turfway.

Per West Point TB: Bullard spiked a temperature and will scratch from the Rebel Stakes.

Happy Birthday to the great Wise Dan.

Ian Wilkes on Holy Bull winner Burnham Square: “The key is the blinkers. I had to put the blinkers on because he wasn’t helping me at all. I had to help him. He wouldn’t help the jockey. He wouldn’t start running in the race. He’d run away from horses. . . He did everything wrong.”

🚨 Due to the threat of a nearby wildfire, the horses stabled at the San Luis Rey training center are currently being evacuated and sent to Del Mar racetrack. "We aren't taking any chances." Dan Ross reports. This story will be updated.

Sad news. Ed Bowen was a wonderful man whose depth of knowledge about horse racing and its history was an invaluable resource for me and countless others. RIP, Mr. Bowen. www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing...
