Grass racing is heating up along with the temperatures around the U.S. and West Point is in the thick of the action on the turf.

A new winner came this past Saturday as Sense of Pearl graduated at Horseshoe Indianapolis for trainer Steve Asmussen and jockey Marcelino Pedroza. The 3-year-old filly succeeded in her third career start and first on turf.

Also on Saturday, West Point had a big performance on the big stage at Saratoga on Saturday from Ohana Honor, who was racing at the Grade 1 level for the first time in the $1-million Manhattan. And he came charging in the stretch to be part of the dead heat for third, registering a 100 Beyer for trainer Shug McGaughey and jockey Kendrick Carmouche.

This weekend, German import Winning Spirit will have his U.S. debut in the $175,000 Chorleywood Overnight on Saturday night as West Point takes aim at a fifth stakes win during the Churchill meet. Winning Spirit was a stakes winner in Italy last year and was brought to America over the winter to join the Clement barn.

On Sunday, Final Boss will likely go favored in the $100,000 Cinema Stakes for 3-year-olds on the turf at Santa Anita. Final Boss and jockey Juan Hernandez are coming off a front-running win over the same course and distance for trainer John Sadler.
