ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Refusing to be denied despite encountering trouble in spots, Dandino was along in time to prevail as an odds-on choice Saturday in the second running of the $400,000 American St. Leger, the first of four straight major stakes on the Arlington Million program at Arlington Park.

Ryan Moore was aboard Dandino, who returned $3.60 with his half-length score over Suntracer, a locally based runner who had another three-quarters of a length on the wire on another local, Najjaar.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Eleven years after recording his last win as a rider at Saratoga, Robbie Davis recorded his first win as a trainer at the Spa when Sandyinthesun ($49.20) nosed out fellow 23-1 shot Lure of the South in Saturday’s 8^th race.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Leigh Court ($12) led all the way to notch her turf debut Saturday at Woodbine in the Grade 3, $150,700 Ontario Colleen Stakes.

With Gary Boulanger aboard, Leigh Court set fractions of 23.75 and 46.70 seconds in the one-mile turf route for 3-year-old fillies. Overheard, the 4-1 second choice, mounted a wide rally from mid-pack at the head of the stretch, but her bid fell three-quarters of a length short of Leigh Court, who completed the distance  in 1:33.32 over firm ground.

At about the same time last year that Colonial Flag won the Grade 3 Ontario Colleen Stakes, fellow 3-year-old filly Tippie Tap barely won a conditioned $30,000 claimer.

The huge class difference did not appear to matter in midstretch of Saturday’s $50,000 Rosenna Stakes at Delaware Park. With a furlong remaining in the 1 1/8-mile turf race, Tippie Tap held a 2 1/2-length lead while Colonial Flag was still five lengths behind in sixth.

Sent to the front by his first-time rider, John Davila Jr., B Shanny rolled to an easy 4 1/2-length victory in the sprint for statebreds. After setting fractions of 22.55 and 45.69 seconds, B Shanny ($2.70) was never threatened en route to reaching the wire in 1:10.27.
