Daily Racing Form

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Jeff O’Connor said the first time he cashed a bet on a horse race was at Off-Track Betting in upstate New York and the race he bet on was at Aqueduct. That was 36 years ago. So, when he learned that Aqueduct would hold its final day of racing on Sunday, he felt the need to travel down from Syracuse, N.Y., to attend. “This was my mecca,” O’Connor, 57, said. “I had to be here.” “When he heard they were closing he said ‘we have to come see this,’ ” said Jeff’s wife, Shanna O’Connor.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The asset that won the Hanshin Stakes for Nu What’s New on Sunday at Churchill Downs is as old as American dirt racing – speed. Nu What’s New has loads of it and has proven to be the rare horse who can carry a sprint pace over one mile. He did it winning the two-turn Oaklawn Mile on March 28 and went even faster on the way to a 1 1/2-length tally in the one-turn, one-mile Hanshin. The horse’s trainer – he’s kind of old, too.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Highway Harmony left her forever mark on Aqueduct in winning Sunday’s $150,000 John Hettinger Stakes for New York-bred females, running the six furlongs in a course-record 1:06.44 in the final stakes race to be run here. Roaring out of the gate under Edgard Zayas, Highway Harmony ran a quarter in 21.33 seconds, a half-mile in 42.89 and five furlongs in 54.37 en route to that final time, which eclipsed the record of 1:06.73 set by Outlaw Kid two years ago.

In a flying finish, Blessed Flyer was up by a head at the wire for a $65.82 upset in the 125th running of the $225,000 Bashford Manor, one of two stakes for 2-year-olds on Sunday's closing day of the spring-summer meet at Churchill Downs. The win capped a stellar weekend for trainer Mike Tomlinson, who the day prior had saddled Harrodsburg to win the Grade 3 Bango Stakes. Blessed Flyer, by Dialed In, won his debut April 16 at Keeneland for owner DNG Blessed Stable and trainer Michel Douaihy.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Meilani gutted it out in the final furlong to land Sunday’s $101,000 Alywow Stakes while giving trainer Kevin Attard his fourth winner on the Woodbine card. Former leading Woodbine rider Kazushi Kimura, now a mainstay in California, put Meilani in a stalking position near pacesetter Happy Destination in the 6 1/2-furlong sprint for 3-year-old fillies. Meilani wore down Happy Destination late to prevail by a half-length, in a slow time of 1:18.10.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Deep Flame proved more than ready for a jump from maiden racing to graded-stakes competition, breezing to a 5 3/4-length victory Sunday at Churchill Downs in the Grade 3, $250,000 Maxfield Stakes. While 6-5 favorite Deep Flame prospered, 8-5 second choice Brant floundered. Reserved off the pace by Flavien Prat, he made a wide bid for the lead coming to the quarter pole before Deep Flame shrugged him off and went far clear of all five of his rivals.
