Marks Mine, a 3-year-old filly meeting older for the first time, stalked a fast pace and dominated in the lane to win Saturday's $75,700 California State Fair Sprint Handicap at Sacramento.

Marks Mine ($7.20) settled nicely under jockey Frank Alvarado as Fightin Mean Mad cut out an extremely fast pace. She was third, 1 1/2 lengths behind the leader, through a 21.43-second opening quarter.

Marks Mine was still 1 1/2 lengths back at the quarter pole but second as Distinctive Yolie began to give was after a 43.57 opening half.

“I thought he’d win,” Wright said.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - Hard Enough pulled a 12-1 upset in the $63,000 Jersey Derby for 3-year-olds on the turf at Monmouth Park on Saturday.

A $50,000 claim at Gulfstream Park over the winter, Hard Enough earned his second win since joining the Bobby Dibona barn.

“This is the best horse in my barn right now,” Dibona said. “It’s been a while since we had a horse of this caliber so we’re all very excited.”

Hard Enough had been running primarily in first-level allowance races, usually against older rivals. The Jersey Derby was an opportunity to face his own age group.

Good Lord rebounded off two subpar efforts to pull a mild upset Saturday when defending his title in the 36th running of the $50,000 Don Bernhardt at Ellis Park in western Kentucky.

Sent straight to the front by Jesus Castanon, Good Lord turned back Right to Vote, the 9-5 second choice, after turning for home in the 6 1/2-furlong race and went on to prevail by 3 1/4 lengths over Good Morning Diva, the odds-on favorite in a field of six older horses.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Trainer Todd Pletcher’s decision to wait to take on champion Royal Delta until another day paid big dividends when Authenticity registered a popular one-length decision over a game Flashy American in Saturday’s $200,000 Shuvee at Saratoga. The win was the second of three stakes victories for Pletcher on the card, along with Silsita in the My Princess Jess and Princess of Sylmar in the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks.

The second Delaware Handicap was far easier than the first for Royal Delta, the champion mare who on Saturday blew things open early in taking the annual Delaware Park showcase for the second straight year.

With Mike Smith barely moving aboard her, Royal Delta opened a long lead down the backstretch of the Grade 1, $750,000 Delaware Handicap and went on to stroll home by 10 3/4 lengths.
