The popular Illinois-bred is nominated to the $60,000 Dayjur Stakes - the closing-day feature at Hollywood Park Hollywood Park may be several places:
  • Hollywood Park, Texas
  • Hollywood Park, Chicago, a neighborhood in Chicago
  • Hollywood Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California
  • Hollywood Park Racetrack, Thoroughbred race track in Inglewood, California
 - but is unlikely to start in the 5-1/2-furlong turf race.

``It's not out of the question, but it is unlikely,'' Lewis said.

The 4-year-old bay colt has not raced since he bruised a foot while finishing fifth in the Crazy Kid Handicap at Del Mar Del Mar is the name of several places in the United States of America:
  • Del Mar, California
  • Del Mar, Texas

  • Santa Anita Park in California, USA
  • Santa Anita, Mexico holy site in San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico

``He's close to being ready to run,'' Lewis said. ``We've just got to tighten him down a bit and we're ready to go.

 anything with certainty,'' Lewis said. ``But we're considering a few spots at Santa Anita. Maybe we'll return to bigger and better things later in the year if he stays as good as he is right now, but you never know. We just want to take things a step at a time.''

Probables for the Dayjur: Cyrano Storme, Suggest, Silver Kite, Men's Exclusive, Stately Warrior and Hit the Roof. Also possible: Larry the Legend, Strangelove, Electrify e·lec·tri·fy

Field takes shape: Sunday's $100,000 Native Diver Handicap will feature Dramatic Gold and Gentlemen, but not Kingdom Found or Cleante.

``I don't feel he's ready for this distance,'' trainer Rafael Becerra said. ``I'm pointing him at the Ack Ack on Dec. 28 for now. I was going to run him in the Jan. 12 San Pasqual, but that's going to be a tough race for him with Alphabet Soup, Savinio and Isitingood probably going. Right now, I'm going to wait to stretch him out in a graded stake.''

Cleante is suffering from a crack in his right front foot.

Probables for the 1-1/8-mile Native Diver: Arrivederci Baby, Don't Blame Rio, Dramatic Gold, Gentlemen, Peyrano and Torole.
