Maryland shipper Pass You Bye Bye got a perfect trip stalking a contested pace and drew clear in deep stretch to win his stakes debut in the $76,500 Decathlon on opening day Saturday at Monmouth Park.

A 4-year-old son of Rock Slide, Pass You Bye Bye ($8) settled three lengths off dueling pacesetters Luckysdream and Diski Dance through fractions of 21.72 and 44.43 seconds. Luckysdream, the 2-1 second choice in a field reduced to six by two scratches, put his head in front at the eighth pole, but Pass You Bye Bye finished fast under jockey Julian Pimentel to win by a length.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Freedom Child had no chance to make the Kentucky Derby when he lost all chance at the start of the Wood Memorial. Given the way he ran in Saturday’s Grade 2, $200,000 Peter Pan Stakes, Freedom Child could have a big chance in the Belmont Stakes on June 8. Especially if the track is wet.

Despite an awkward start, Freedom Child quickly shot to the front under Luis Saez and turned the Peter Pan into his own personal training session, romping to a 13 1/4-length victory over a sloppy Belmont Park main track.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Good Deed capped a spectacular Saturday afternoon at Churchill Downs for jockey Shaun Bridgmohan when she stormed to a gate-to-wire victory in the feature race, the $64,418 Unbridled Sidney for fillies and mares at five furlongs on the turf.

Palazzo Babe did all the chasing under Rosie Napravnik, settling for second, 4 1/4 lengths behind the winner. Then came Formal Plan and the 2-1 favorite, Holiday for Kitten.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - There was no stopping the speedy Let Em Shine in Saturday’s $71,850 Came Home Stakes at Betfair Hollywood Park.

Making his stakes debut, Let Em Shine ($4.20) led throughout under jockey Edwin Maldonado to win his third consecutive race in the Came Home, run over seven furlongs for 3-year-olds. The victory has made the $500,000 King’s Bishop Stakes for 3-year-old sprinters at Saratoga on Aug. 24 a long-term goal for Let Em Shine, owner William Peeples and trainer Adam Kitchingham said in the winner’s circle.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Black Hornet went to the lead soon after the start and never looked back to take the $150,000 Queenston Stakes over another longshot, Jagger M, at Woodbine Saturday.

With Justin Stein aboard, Black Hornet set fractions of 22.92 and 45.14 seconds in the seven-furlong sprint for Ontario-sired 3-year-olds. He shrugged off a stalking Kitten Candy early in the stretch, before holding sway to prevail by a length, in 1:21.44.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Jockey Rafael Bejarano won the 3,000th race of his career in Saturday’s first race at Betfair Hollywood Park aboard the promising 3-year-old filly Ondine.

Bejarano, 30, had one victory on Friday to move within a winner of his 3,000th. He reached the milestone with his first mount on Saturday.

Ondine was heavily favored in a field of five.

Princess Phoebe and Sweet Hot Toddy, both coming off dominant victories in their first starts of the season that produced identical Beyer Speed Figures, and both from barns that have been hot in the early weeks of the 2013 Finger Lakes meet, clash in Monday’s $25,000 feature at the western New York track.

The five-furlong eighth race is a third-level allowance for New York-bred fillies and mares. The two logical favorites in a field of seven are extremely difficult to separate.

The opportunity that awaits bettors in Monday’s $53,000 feature at Parx Racing doesn’t come along very often. On average, it happens about four times a year, and has not occurred at all within the past six months.

When fans looking to cash a bet see a Tony Dutrow-trained filly like Mikey Likes It, they should be running to the windows.

Mac the Man has been deemed healthy and ready to run by trainer Jeff Greenhill and will get his chance in the $100,000 Tom Ridge at Presque Isle Downs on Monday. The Tom Ridge is for 3-year-olds going six furlongs over Presque Isle’s Tapeta surface.

Mac the Man reeled off three impressive wins over Polytrack at Turfway Park this past winter. On Dec. 8, he won the Turfway Park Prevue prep by more than eight lengths. In his next out Jan. 5, he won the $50,000 Turfway Park Preview by four lengths. His third win came Feb. 2 in the $ 50,000 96 Rocks by two lengths.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Half Strike may have won only a first-condition optional claimer at Betfair Hollywood Park on Friday, but the style of the win and the 4-year-old’s behavior in recent months have left trainer Richard Mandella optimistic that he could have a new stakes horse this summer.

“He’s definitely getting better,” Mandella said on Saturday. “He’s really turned it around.”

By Smart Strike out of Halfbridled, the champion 2-year-old filly of 2003, Half Strike won Friday’s race over 1 1/16 miles by 2 3/4 lengths under jockey Rafael Bejarano.
