WEEKEND STAKES AT LOS ALAMITOS

Tuesday

• $200,000 Grade II Great Lady M. Stakes, fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up, 6½ furlongs

DOWN THE STRETCH

• Cody’s Wish worked 4 furlongs in 48.48 seconds over Saratoga’s Oklahoma training track Monday and is under consideration for the $1 million Grade I Whitney Stakes on Aug. 5, which offers a “Win and You’re In” berth to the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 4 at Santa Anita. “That’s possible,” trainer Bill Mott said. “It’s (9 furlongs) always a question. He’s won his Breeders’ Cup going a two-turn mile, but he’s not won at a mile and an eighth.”

• Los Alamitos will race four days this holiday weekend, beginning Saturday and concluding with a special Fourth of July race card on Tuesday. The lone stakes race is the $200,000 Grade II Great Lady M., a 6½-furlong race for fillies and mares that will be run Tuesday. The final stakes event of the nine-day meet, the $125,000 Los Alamitos Derby, is scheduled for next Saturday (July 8).

• Two Phil’s, the runner-up in the Kentucky Derby, fractured a sesamoid in his left front ankle after winning the Ohio Derby on Saturday and has been retired to stud. “We decided to retire him, just when he was starting to blossom,” trainer Larry Rivelli told the Daily Racing Form after the Hard Spun colt won the Ohio Derby by 5¾ lengths. “We had everything mapped out but it is woulda, coulda, shoulda.”
