Englishman and Book’em Danno are on a collision course for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) at Keeneland on Oct. 31, but in the meantime will be prepping in separate seven-furlong stakes at Saratoga on Saturday.

Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. enjoyed a big day at Laurel on Friday, capturing the $300,000 Black-Eyed Susan (G2) with My Miss Mo and the $250,000 Pimlico Special (G3) with Navajo Warrior.

The storyline going into Friday’s Beldame (G2) was all about rediscovering top form, but it wasn’t the odds-on favorite, Randomized, who followed the script.

In Friday’s $250,000 renewal at Aqueduct, the Chad Brown mare hopes to recapture past glories after one of the worst races of her career.

The two previous times the three-year-old fillies Good Cheer and La Cara met on the racetrack, one proved victorious while the other was not competitive.
