Garrett Gomez, a two-time Eclipse Award winner who won three Breeders' Cup races earlier this month, tops a list of five finalists for the 62nd George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award, Santa Anita announced on Tuesday.

Sebastian Flyte will start in Sunday's $250,000 Hollywood Derby, and this time trainer Ben Cecil had no trouble finding a jockey well in advance. Joel Rosario, who through Sunday led the jockey's standings at the fall meeting, has the mount.

Trainer Steve Specht's fall meeting at Golden Gate Fields has been a lot like the racing career of his entrant in Friday's Grade 3, $100,000 All American, Massone.

Six were entered in the $100,000 Underwood, in which Cost of Freedom will try to lead gate to wire over E Z's Gentleman, Canonize, Gato Go Win, Scenic Blast, and Square Deal.

Apart was assigned post 2 when 11 3-year-olds and upward were entered Tuesday for the Grade 1 Clark Handicap, which will be run Friday for the 136th time at Churchill Downs.
