Fiftyshadesofgold Back in Action... Promising juvenile filly Fiftyshadesofgold (My GoldenSong) returned to the work tab at Fair Grounds Fridaywith a three-panel move in :37.80. This was her secondbreeze since injuring herself in Saratoga=s Aug. 11GII Adirondack S., where she finished fourth as a heavyfavorite before being promoted to third after anightmare trip. Trainer Bret Calhoun blamedinterference in the race for the injury. AThey put her through the fence that day and shecame out with a fractured cannon bone that required ascrew that we put in for 60 days and then took it out,@Calhoun said. AShe also had a small chip in her knee.@ Prior to the injury the gray filly broke her maidenimpressively at Lone Star May. 24 by 10 lengths. Shethen shipped to Churchill Jun. 22 to take the DebutanteS. with ease as an eight length winner. Calhoun is thrilled to have her back in action, but he=snot lookingtoo far intothe future. AShe=s hadtwo reallyeasy 3/8works,@ hesaid. AWeare justhappy tohave herback on thework tabandhopefully she=ll work every seven days from here onand we will get her back sometime in the spring. Thereis really no use having a schedule this far away. Theweather could set us back, she could get sick. Younever really know.@

Baffert Reflects After Up and Down Day... Conditioner Bob Baffert was feeling philosophicalyesterday after experiencing both the highs and lows ofracing the day before. While the Hall of Famer startedhis day by losing GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile winner NewYear=s Day (Street Cry {Ire}) to a career-ending injury,he ended it with three victories on Santa Anita=sopening day card, including the GI Malibu S. withShakin It Up (Midnight Lute). AEvery day is like a rollercoaster,@ the 60-year-old said from Clocker=s Corner.AEvery once in a while I might have like two days in arow that are good. But this is part of the sport. Everymorning, it=s something, minor, major, whatever. I=vebeen around horses for 40 years, so you have to dealwith it. Sometimes, if you let it eat you up, it willdestroy you. You=ll have a heart attack.@ Baffert had aheart attack in Dubai last year while preparing to runGame On Dude (Awesome Again) in the GI Dubai WorldCup.

Kayla Stra: Taking advantage of her second chance All Kayla Strahas wanted to do in life since she was a little girl was ride horses andwin races. Growing up in Australia, she was pretty good at it too. Shetook out her jockey’s license at 17 and eventually became her nation’sposter girl for racing with more than 500 victories.
