• Santa Anita announced details for its Ship and Win program during its fall meet that begins Oct. 1. To be eligible for program bonuses, a horse must have made its most recent start outside of California and not raced in the state within the past 12months. Horses that qualified for Del Mar’s summer program retain eligibilit­y for one start at Santa Anita providing they don’t start at any other track between the end of Del Mar and the beginning of Santa Anita. Eligible horses are guaranteed a $5,000 bonus and, in overnight races, a 35% bonus of regular purse money earned will be paid for finishing first through fifth.

• The streaking Brickyard Ride, fresh off a victory in the Grade III Kona Gold Stakes at Santa Anita on April 30, will try for his fifth consecutiv­e victory in Sunday’s $200,000 Grade II Triple Bend Stakes, part of the track’s Memorial Day weekend of racing. The Triple Bend, the fourth race, will go postward at 2:30 p.m. and drew a field of six. “We just hope he stays good and keeps delivering, but winning five in a row is no easy task,” trainer Craig Lewis told Ed Golden of Santa Anita publicity. “You can’t even do that with cheap horses. We’re asking a lot. Hopefully he can deliver.”
