Romans may have found his Derby hopeful for 2012 in O'Prado Again, who rallied to a three-quarter-length win in Saturday's Grade 2, $200,000 Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct.

To Honor and Serve reced a 1 3/4-length victory over the late-running Hymn Book in the Grade 1, $250,000 Cigar Mile Handicap.

Bill Mott won the Breeders' Cup Classic with Drosselmeyer, who was considered the lesser regarded of the two horses the Hall of Fame trainer ran in that race three weeks ago at Churchill Downs.

While the majority of high-profile horses are headed for a vacation, one significant player from earlier in the year is heading back to the races.

Uncle Mo, last year's 2-year-old champion colt who finished 10th in Saturday's $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs, has been retired from racing, owner Mike Repole said Monday.

My Miss Aurelia, one of four unbeaten fillies in the full field of 14, drew post 9 and was installed as the 5-2 morning-line favorite by track linemaker Mike Battaglia for Friday's $2 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies

Tizway will not get a chance to state his case for those accolades in the Breeders' Cup Classic as he will miss that race due to a strain in the suspensory ligament of his left foreleg, trainer James Bond said Tuesday.

Richard Dutrow Jr., facing a 10-year revocation of his trainer's license, was given a reprieve Monday morning when a New York State Supreme Court judge issued a 30-day stay of the New York State Racing and Wagering Board's penalty handed down last week.

Aruna, the third choice on the morning line, and longshot Senada both scratched out of Saturday's Grade 1, $500,000 Flower Bowl Invitational.

So while Scooter Dickey would like his 5-year-old horse to improve upon runner-up finishes in both the Whitney Handicap and Woodward Stakes at Saratoga when he runs in Saturday's $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont Park, a victory is not paramount.
