Breaking alertly from her outside post in the seven-horse field, Evelyn’s Dancer carved out honest fractions of 22.48 and 45.64 seconds over a sloppy track that clearly favored speed.  Overvalued made a strong bid on the stretch turn, but was easily repelled by Evelyn’s Dancer. Terlani made a late move to finish third.

STICKNEY, Ill. – Six different riders and six different trainers won the six stakes races for Illinois-breds on Saturday at Hawthorne, and on an afternoon when wealth got shared all around, the 3-year-old filly My Option looked like a horse who would be taking home plenty more loot - in Illinois-bred stakes, if not beyond – before her career is out.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. - Diamond Joe became the first Nebraska-bred to capture the $84,000 Bosselman/Gus Fonner Stakes in what was  one of the most stirring runnings in the 24 years of the event.

Diamond Joe was the slight favorite 2-1 over California invader Joy Boy in the field of eight older horses going a mile and a sixteenth.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Master Rick has found his niche.The horse who has tested his skills over a handful of different distances took down the biggest race of his career Saturday when he rallied for a 1 1/4-length win in the Grade 3, $200,000 Texas Mile at Lone Star Park.

ALBANY, Calif. -- Tigah and Summer Hit battled for favoritism on the tote board and then hooked up in the stretch of the Grade 3, $100,000 San Francisco Mile with the fast-finishing favorite Tigah proving best in the one-mile turf race at Golden Gate Fields on Saturday.

Summer Hit set the pace, which was contested early by a stubborn Coach Bob. While Summer Hit was setting brisk fractions, Tigah was content to sit back. He was last after the opening quarter and had only one of his nine rivals beaten after the opening half as Summer Hit set a 46.54-second pace.
