ARCADIA, Calif. - In a spectacular performance that had fans alternately cheering and then crying tears of joy, the great, unbeaten racemare Zenyatta ran into the record books on Saturday by beating males for the first time, scoring her 14th straight victory and putting herself squarely in the debate for Horse of the Year with a breathtaking, last-to-first rush in the at Santa Anita's Oak Tree meeting.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Conduit took down his second consecutive $3 million title on Saturday, but not before Presious Passion nearly stole the race with an exceptional runaway, front-running effort.

Ryan Moore let Conduit dally at the back of the seven-runner field as Presious Passion, as is his wont, dashed to a 12-length lead after sprinting clear on the downhill early portion of the race. Conduit's Michael Stoute-trained stablemate Spanish Moon was closest to Presious Passion.

ARCADIA, Calif. - After striking out with all his Kitten-named horses for two days, owner Ken Ramsey's former claimer Furthest Land proved to be the big dog in the on Saturday at Santa Anita.

ARCADIA, Calif. - An historic encore win by Goldikova in Saturday's at Santa Anita showed a new dimension from a filly who has dominated one-mile grass races on both sides of the Atlantic in the last two years.

Instead of blasting to the lead in early stretch with an eye-catching move as she did in the 2008 Mile at Santa Anita, Goldikova and jockey Olivier Peslier used a sustained three-furlong rally on Saturday for a half-length win over Courageous Cat.

ARCADIA, Calif. - European invader Vale of York tipped over the form of the North American 2-year-old division Saturday at Santa Anita, where the Godolphin-owned colt sprang a $63.20 upset in the $2 million .

Vale of York won by a head over 2-1 favorite Lookin at Lucky, the previously unbeaten colt whose runner-up finish was the product of a bad trip that he could not overcome. Lookin at Lucky was wide early, in midpack behind a slow pace, rallied wide, and got outfinished from the inside.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Ken Kinakin said he's not a risk taker by nature. It's an assessment he might want to reconsider after putting up a $180,000 supplemental fee just to get his Dancing in Silks into the .

That investment turned into a $1,080,000 payday on Saturday at Santa Anita when the California-bred Dancing in Silks survived a four-horse blanket finish to post a thrilling nose decision over fellow longshot Crown of Thorns in the six-furlong Sprint.

The excruciatingly close finish in the opening race of the 2009 Breeders' Cup series, the on Friday, elicited a number of contrasting emotions from the folks involved when Man of Iron nosed out Cloudy's Knight after 14 furlongs of a thriller.

For the Coolmore powerhouse and trainer Aidan O'Brien, there was relief. The victory was the first after 28 straight Breeders' Cup defeats for O'Brien since he sent out High Chapparal to a dead-heat for victory with Johar six years ago in the BC Turf at Santa Anita.

He was never going to high-five jockey Tom Queally on the racetrack or start screaming into the grandstand, but the win by Midday in Friday's left the popular British trainer Henry Cecil elated.

Cecil, the winner of nine training titles in Britain, four English Derbies, and eight English Oaks, to name a few of his accomplishments, had finally conquered a Breeders' Cup race with his seventh starter.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Trainer Wayne Catalano was still accepting congratulatory phone calls Saturday morning for She Be Wild's victory in Friday's at Santa Anita. But as usual the day after a race, Catalano was more interested in looking forward than back.
