Malathaat (Curlin) denies Search Results (rail) to win the Kentucky Oaks (G1) at Churchill Downs on 4.30.21. John Velazquez up, Todd Pletcher trainer, Shadwell Stables owner.
Shadwell s undefeated multiple Grade 1-winning 3-year-old filly Malathaat, winner of the $1.25 million Longines Kentucky Oaks (G1) on April 30, will skip the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets (G1) on June 5 and point toward Saratoga. The ultimate plan for the Stonestreet-bred, Todd Pletcher-trained divisional leader is the Breeders Cup at Del Mar, according to Shadwell Farm s Vice President and General Manager Rick Nichols.
“Todd and I have talked and have elected to bypass the Belmont,” Nichols said. “She is a little light right now because she is still growing into the frame that she has. We want to give her a nice break and hopefully put some weight on her.

Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
A mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 pool is set for Saturday at Gulfstream Park, and there will also be a Super Hi-5 carryover going into the first race of $3,766.40.
The Rainbow 6 wager went unsolved Friday for the 10th racing day since an April 17 mandatory payout, producing a carryover pool of $419,268.47 heading into Saturday s mandatory payout.
Ron Nicoletti & Ashley Mailloux sit down and handicap Saturday s mandatory Rainbow 6, a sequence with full fields and the English Channel Stakes.
The carryover jackpot is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day s pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool. However, on mandatory payout days, the entire Rainbow 6 pool is disbursed to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners
Mandatory Rainbow 6: Fulmini, Hot Blooded Clash During Saturday’s English Channel Sponsored by:
Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
Trainer Carlos David will be represented by Bell Racing LLC s Fulmini and Palm Beach Racing Partnership s Hot Blooded in Saturday s $75,000 English Channel at Gulfstream Park, a key sequence in Saturday s mandatory payout of the 20-cent Rainbow 6.
But don t bother asking David which horse he may prefer in the 1 1/16-mile turf stakes that drew a full field of 12 3-year-olds.
“I really like both horses coming into this race, for sure,” David said.
Fulmini, who was stakes-placed twice in off-the-turf stakes last year, was claimed for $50,000 out of his Jan. 21 debut, in which he finished sixth for trainer Michael Maker. After Bell Racing LLC transferred a pair of horses to his stable, David was asked to look for a young, relatively high-priced horse to claim.

Returning to its rightful place on the first Saturday in May, the end result was the same: Hall of Famers Bob Baffert and John Velazquez teamed up to win the Run for the Roses.
