LOUISVILLE, Ky. – After a back-and-forth duel over the last few days, Mike Maker salvaged a tie for leading trainer with Steve Asmussen at the Churchill Downs spring meet by sending out the winner of the last race on the closing-day card Sunday.

Buzzin at Midnight was an easy odds-on winner of the meet finale when ridden by Shaun Bridgmohan, the leading jockey at the 38-day meet with 53 wins. Buzzin at Midnight was the 32nd winner of the meet for Ken and Sarah Ramsey, who three days earlier broke the record (27) for most wins at a Churchill meet.

Mystic City sat behind the dueling leaders in the $100,000 Windward Stakes until upper stretch and then exploded to a 1 1/4-length win, capturing the event for the second straight year Sunday evening at Presque Isle Downs.

Ridden by Pedro Rodriguez for trainer Mike Ferraro, Mystic City was moved three wide to take the lead in upper stretch and then was all out to hold sway late.

Hooh Why finished second, three-quarters of a length in front of Let's Get Married in third. Just more than 2 3/4 lengths separated the first five finishers.

Hezamazing successfully defended his title in the $40,000 Front Range Stakes at Arapahoe Park on Sunday, forging to a one-length win over Ghost Vapors. It was another 2 1/4 lengths back to Memo to Mya in third.

Hezamazing ($18.40) stalked E F Five through fractions of 22.58 seconds for the opening quarter and 45.07 for the half-mile before overtaking the pacesetter as well as Ghost Vapors to win the seven-furlong race in 1:22.99. Russell Vicchrilli was aboard Hezamazing for Carlyle Rollins and trainer Rick Houghton.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Obviously won two races last summer at Del Mar, including the Del Mar Mile, and he’ll look to defend his title in that Grade 2, $200,000 race Aug. 25 following his win Saturday in the Shoemaker Mile, according to trainer Mike Mitchell.

“That’s definite,” said Mitchell, who scored the 900th win of his career at Hollywood Park in the Shoemaker Mile. “Our ultimate goal is the Breeders’ Cup Mile on turf.”

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Trainer Ron Ellis said Sunday that Centralinteligence and Rail Trip emerged from the Grade 1 Triple Bend Handicap on Saturday “perfect,” but they are headed in different directions in the next two months.

Centralinteligence, who scored the first stakes win of his career in the Triple Bend, will get a vacation during the summer and will not run at Del Mar. His next start will be the Grade 1 Santa Anita Sprint Championship – formerly the Ancient Title – as a prep for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Game On Dude, set to defend his title in the Grade 1, $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup on Saturday at Betfair Hollywood Park, turned in his final prep for that race Monday at Santa Anita with an official clocking of 47.80 seconds for four furlongs. Trainer Bob Baffert said he had Game On Dude going out six furlongs in 1:13.

“He went nice, just cruised around there and galloped out real strong,” Baffert said.

OCEANPORT, N.J. – Lady Samuri glided around the sealed, wet-fast track to win the $77,250 Lighthouse Stakes on Sunday, giving trainer Yvon Belsoeur and jockey Abel Mariano another 9-1 upset in a Monmouth Park stakes race for fillies and mares.

They combined to capture the Blue Sparkler on June 22 with My Place Anytime, a $20.40 winner. The return on Lady Samuri was $20. In both instances, Belsoeur turned an inexpensive claim into a stakes winner.

Showing little sign of rust in his first start of the year, Saratoga Snacks stalked the early pace, rallied in earnest on the outside in the stretch, and edged clear of a rail-skimming Mine Over Matter in the final furlong to win Sunday’s $100,000 Shy Groom overnight stakes by just over a length at Belmont Park.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – The favored Original Script led the way and then held off a charging Smartyfly to notch her first stakes victory Sunday at Woodbine in the $250,000 Bison City, the second leg of the Canadian Triple Tiara.

Caviar N Champagne prompted the early pace in the $50,000 J. Wm. Petro Memorial under Scott Spieth at Thistledown on Sunday before drawing clear by nearly three lengths in upper stretch and going on to win by a half-length.

Trained by Jeff Radosevich, Caviar N Champagne was fully extended late to hold off a charging Startin Something. The favored Pay the Man tired and finished third, three lengths behind Startin Something and jockey Deshawn Parker.

The running time for the 1 1/16 miles over a fast track was 1.46.62, and Caviar N Champagne returned $5.80 to win.
