• Happy Dominion Day: Canada.

Assiniboia Downs (Manitoba):

• Races 6 and 7: Canceled due to weather.

Hastings (British Columbia):

• Race 5: Matsqui (Brian Boodramsingh/Mark Freeman) was the longest shot on the board but won the co-feature race and a $50,000 purse on Dominion Day. The favorite finished last. The first four races were won by favorites. Welcome to horse racing.
• Race 6: At Attention (Antonio Reyes/Barbara Heads) won the $50,000 Lt. Governors' Handicap by a nose.

A couple of circuit notes:

• New York: NYRA announced today that once Belmont is completed, perhaps for the 2026-27 racing season, all winter racing will be conducted on synthetic. That means no dirt or, as the norm, no turf racing for approximately three months in New York. Perhaps Woodbine shippers may head to New York in addition to Florida.
• Mid-Atlantic: There is chatter than a circuit could be forming with mid-Atlantic tracks since Maryland will eventually reduce racing dates. Depending on the time of the year, New Jersey, Delaware and Virginia could be part of the mix. Delaware could use a boost in purses.

• Steve Asmussen is sending out 47 horses Friday through Sunday.
• David Hofmans has passed. The California-based trainer had been active since the 1970s and won a race as recently as June. Perhaps his biggest win if not most exciting was with Touch Gold in the 1997 Belmont Stakes denying Silver Charm, who won memorable editions of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, the Triple Crown in what was inarguably one of the most thrilling TC seasons ever.

​

​

And of course with Alphabet Soup at 20-to-1 (IIRC) "...a shocking upset...Cigar has been denied..."​

​

​

Belterra (Ohio):

• Race 1: Sweet Mobiltee (Perry Ouzts/Larry Smith) gave the soon-to-be 70-year-old jockey his 7,447th career win. Sentimental bets are allowed occasionally and Ouzts rides twice on July 6; he turns 70 the next day. Hunch bets await.

Horseshoe Indiana (Indiana):

• Race 8: The $.50 Pick 5 paid over $41,000. Indiana pays out. Not to be overlooked, a decent track especially mid-week.
• Handle: $3.1 million.

Canterbury (Minnesota):

• Kelsi Harr rode winners in the opener and finale.

A reminder that following Sunday's card, Aqueduct/Belmont goes dark until September. Saratoga's summer meet, arguably America's most popular, starts July 11.
