SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - It was horses like the champion Royal Delta and To Honor and Serve that inspired Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott to go to the barn each morning this past winter in south Florida.

 But as the year went along, To Honor and Serve had put in a couple of uninspiring performances, most recently in the Grade 2 Suburban at Belmont Park.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - Tune Me In scored a second straight Grade 3 upset at Monmouth Park, beating 6-5 favorite Salto by one length on Saturday in the $99,000 Cliff Hanger on the turf.

A snowy-gray 5-year-old gelding, Tune Me In pulled a 25-1 upset in the Oceanport on the Haskell Day undercard.

This time, the price was a still generous 6-1.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – Four-year-old Middie had only won a maiden and two allowance races before Saturday, but under a keen ride from Cisco Torres he tallied a 3 1/4-length victory over Mister Marti Gras in the Grade 3 Washington Park Handicap at Arlington, the first stakes win of Middie’s career.

Song of Humor looms as the possible lone speed in a short field as five older horses will go 6 1/2 furlongs in the $10,000 Labor Day Stakes to cap off the holiday weekend at Columbus on Monday afternoon.

Coyote Legend, an eight-time stakes winner coming off the best race of his career, will take on regional newcomer Brethren, a half-brother to 2010 Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver, in the featured eighth race Monday at Remington Park in Oklahoma City.

The one-mile allowance has a purse of $40,000, and it highlights a special afternoon program for Labor Day.

In the Rough, narrowly beaten in a pair of turf stakes earlier this season, didn’t have to settle for second best in Saturday’s $62,300 Forever Together Stakes at Delaware Park.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The beat continued for trainer Kiaran McLaughlin and the Godolphin Stable on Saturday afternoon at Saratoga after Emcee gave the team its fourth Grade 1 win of the meet by rallying to a convincing 4 1/2-length victory over Hamazing Destiny, the longest shot in the field, in the $500,000 Forego.

NORTH RANDALL, Ohio - Startin Something settled with the second flight along the rail behind the dueling leaders who were getting rapid fractions, overcame traffic problems under a well-timed ride by jockey Deshawn Parker, and was guided out four wide nearing the quarter pole. He then rallied determinedly through the stretch to make the lead late and win by 1 1/2 lengths in Saturday's 28th running of the $50,000, 1 1/8-mile Rose DeBartolo Memorial Stakes at Thistledown, her third stakes victory of the year.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Tu Endie Wei ($7.50) outran 2-5 favorite Roxy Gap in the stretch to capture the Grade 3, $168,500 Seaway Stakes at Woodbine Saturday.

Tu Endie Wei and Roxy Gap vied for the lead through soft fractions in the seven-furlong sprint. Tu Endie Wei took control along the inside early in the stretch, and then held Roxy Gap and Patrick Husbands at bay while drifting out to prevail by a length, in 1:24.12. Jenny’s So Great finished another 2 1/2 lengths back in third in the five-horse field.

If Michael Dubb doesn’t win the owners’ title, he will at least leave Saratoga with a very promising 2-year-old filly in My Happy Face, who won a 5 1/2-furlong maiden race on Friday by 21 1/4 lengths.

After finishing second to Teen Pauline in a track-record performance, My Happy Face galloped away from four rivals on Friday, running 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:03.55 and earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 85.
