Backseat Memories, a six-time winner on turf this season, and last-out maiden winner Grand Tito hit the wire together in Saturday’s $75,000 Showing Up Stakes at Gulfstream Park.

The dead heat remained in doubt, however, until stewards disallowed a claim of foul lodged against Fernando Jara, rider of Backseat Memories, for interference.

Grand Tito ($13), with Jilver Chamati aboard, was overtaken by about a neck in deep stretch, but came again to get on even terms with Backseat Memories ($5) after 1 1/16 miles on turf in 1:46.76.

My Option made a successful venture outside of restricted company Saturday when driving to victory under Eddie Perez in the 33rd running of the Grade 3, $150,000 Arlington Park Oaks at Arlington Park.

Trained by Chris Block for owner-breeder Timothy Keeley, My Option held off 12-1 shot Frivolous to win the 1 1/8-mile Polytrack race by a neck. The winner returned $7 as second choice in a field of six 3-year-old fillies after finishing in 1:52.85.

“I’ve got to give a lot of credit to the filly and Eddie,” said Block. “They fit together pretty well.”

EAST BOSTON, Mass. – Silk Spinner dug in through the lane to hold off a determined challenge by the heavily favored Victor Laszlo to pull off the upset win in the $50,000 Rise Jim Stakes at Suffolk Downs on Saturday.

Jockey Jose Espinoza kept switching lanes with Amberjack until he finally found the best part of a sloppy racetrack in the stretch and his colt responded with a strong run that produced a dominant victory in Saturday’s $160,800 New York Derby at Finger Lakes.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – The Mark Casse trainees Sisterly Love and Eagle Hall dominated the $151,500 Ontario Matron on Saturday at Woodbine, when they ran one-two in the Grade 3 stakes for fillies and mares.

Sisterly Love ($3.90) went unchallenged on the lead and set moderate fractions in the 1 1/16-mile route, before opening up a clear lead on the far turn. Eagle Hall rallied along the rail from seventh to finish 3 1/2 lengths behind Sisterly Love, who had coasted home on top to complete the distance in 1:43.41. Pure Blue Sky rallied belatedly for third in the seven-horse field.

Afterward, Amoss said that Mylute would stay in Saratoga rather for next Saturday’s Grade 2, $600,000 Jim Dandy as opposed to next Sunday’s Grade 1, $1 million Haskell Invitational.
