Tommy Jo and Percy's Bar last out finished 1-2 in the Spinaway Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course. They are the only stakes winners in the six-horse field for the Oct. 3 Alcibiades Stakes (G1) going 1 1/16 miles at Keeneland.

Coming into the $250,000 Gallant Bloom Stakes (G2) Sept. 27 at Aqueduct Racetrack, R Disaster had an exemplary record but she was missing one thing, a graded stakes victory. She checked that box with emphasis, rolling to a 3 1/2-length victory.

Remington Park has added a date of racing Oct. 5.

Johannes, winner of the 2024 City of Hope Mile Stakes (G2T) and second in last year's Breeders' Cup Mile (G1T), prepped for this year's Breeders' Cup with a second victory in the City of Hope Mile Sept. 27 at Santa Anita Park.

Zero-for-three in his previous tries in the John Henry Turf Championship Stakes (G2T), Gold Phoenix was back better than ever in his attempt No. 4, storming to a 1 1/4-length victory Sept. 27 at Santa Anita Park.

The Sept. 28 Sprinters Stakes (G1) at Nakayama Racecourse featured some accomplished Japanese runners and a star from Hong Kong, but an 8-year-old, first-time Grade 1 winner took the prize.
