Journalism returned safely to Michael W. McCarthy Del Mar Racetrack last night after a successful excursion to Monmouth Park for the Haskell. The 3-time G1W walked off the van like a Champ, drank some water, had a few rolls and let it be known that the 🦍 was back in Cali. #BelieveBig

Field for Saturday's San Diego Handicap at Del Mar: 1 - Midnight Mammoth 2 - Nysos 3 - Mirahmadi 4 - Express Train 5 - Hall of Fame 6 - Tarantino 7 - Judge Miller

What do you think of the Kentucky Oaks moving to a later post time?

The remainder of today’s races have been cancelled. More information to come.

Update from FanDuel on jockey Tyler Conner after incident at Colonial Downs. Sending best wishes to Tyler:

Jockey Tyler Conner was conscious and airlifted to Virginia Commonwealth Hospital in Richmond for medical care. More:

Todd Pletcher says Mindframe remains under consideration for the Whitney: "We’re going to breeze Mindframe on Saturday and make a decision." (via NYRA notes)

Mark Casse on Sandman, wearing blinkers in the Jim Dandy: "The blinkers will make him a little more eager early. It may work and it may backfire. I think he's probably going to be a little more aggressive early, which means he'll be a little bit closer to the pace." (NYRA notes)

Thank you to everyone that has reached out. One thing is for sure , Tyler Conner is very much loved . Right now he has a Jefferson fracture of C1, and a central cord injury. The doctor is optimistic that the swelling around his spinal cord will come down.

We interrupt your scrolling for a NYSOS drive by. 😮‍💨

Kenny McPeek said he expects to work Mystik Dan on the turf next week to see how he handles it. “We’re contemplating letting him try the turf at some point,” McPeek said. More:

Per Norm Casse: Hero Status okay back at the barn. Jockey Santana felt he took a few funny steps pulling up. Issue could have been heat-related. He's 100-percent now.

The likely landing spot for Mindframe, taking a water break Saturday morning, is the G1, $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup Aug. 31 at Saratoga.

Guess who? That’s JOURNALISM back on track at Del Mar Racetrack!

Todd Pletcher on entering both Fierceness and Mindframe in the Whitney: “I think we will enter both with the idea that if all is well, we will probably just run Fierceness. Six days is a long time in this business, so I want to keep all our options open." (via NYRA notes)

Sandman

Nearly go time for the champ! 🚦 SOVEREIGNTY is back at Saratoga NYRA (🎪) for the G2 Jim Dandy.

Sovereignty does it again. The #KyDerby and Belmont winner turns back a game Baeza in the stretch to win the Jim Dandy.

Still the king, Sovereignty wins the Jim Dandy

Exciting debut by Brant for Bob Baffert Del Mar Racetrack. #onetowatch
