ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Spirited Miss closed three wide from midpack to land her first stakes Saturday at Woodbine in the $153,400 Duchess, giving owner John Oxley, trainer Mark Casse, and jockey Patrick Husbands a sweep of the stakes on the card. They also captured the Vandal with the unbeaten 2-year-old Uncaptured.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Winter Memories, whose popularity with the fans may be exceeded only by her sheer brilliance on the racetrack, registered the most important victory of her career when rallying to a 1 1/2-length victory over European invader Dream Peace in Saturday’s Grade 1 Diana at Saratoga.

The heavy rainstorm that hit Parx Racing early on the Saturday card gave Traffic Light a huge edge in the $75,500 Crowd Pleaser Stakes for Pennsylvania bred 3-year-olds.

Originally scheduled for the turf, the Crowd Pleaser was rained off onto the sloppy, sealed main track at the same 1 1/16 mile distance.

No one benefited from the switch more than Traffic Light, who set all the pace to beat Yourhonorandglory by six lengths for his third win at the meet on an off track.

Inherit the Gold, a six-time stakes-winning New York-bred gelding, has been retired from racing, trainer Jim Hooper said Friday.

Inherit the Gold had myriad physical issues, which prompted Hooper to stop on the 6-year-old gelding by Gold Token.

“The biggest thing is the wear and tear on his cartilage of his front ankles,” Hooper said.

Inherit the Gold finished his career with a record of 10-5-3 from 25 starts and earnings of $478,985.

Roman Treasure, who made an impressive 4-year-old debut at Belmont three weeks ago, worked four furlongs in 48.02 seconds Saturday morning over Saratoga’s main track in preparation for Friday’s Grade 2, $200,000 Honorable Miss Handicap.

Over a track in which some horses appeared to be laboring in the stretch, Roman Treasure got her final quarter in 23.24 seconds.

“I thought the work was great,” trainer Mike Hushion said. “Her last work was pretty nice, too.”

After overnight rains forced turf workouts to be canceled Friday, four horses prepping for upcoming stakes were granted special permission to breeze over the Oklahoma grass course Saturday. The quartet consisted of a pair from trainer Christophe Clement’s barn, Mystical Star and Right One; trainer Shug McGaughey’s Man o’ War winner Point of Entry, and Harrods Creek for trainer Bill Mott.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – The bucolic setting of the Godolphin Training Center adjacent to the backstretch of Saratoga’s main track is the perfect atmosphere for those horses that can be, say, a little tricky.

That is one reason why trainer Kiaran McLaughlin opted to work the aptly named It’s Tricky over the training center’s synthetic surface Saturday morning, where at 9:30 a.m. she was the only horse on the track.

CINCINNATI – Uncle Virgil drew off through the stretch impressively to win the $50,000 Horizon at River Downs on Saturday afternoon.

Jockey Gabriel Lagunes kept the 3-year-old Ohio-accredited gelding to the outside of pacesetting, odds-on favorite Bakers Haulover to the far turn. Lagunes went to work midway around the turn, and Uncle Virgil responded, drawing off to win by 10 3/4 lengths for trainer Kathy Lowry.

Mercer’s Mark was second, a length in front of Bakers Haulover.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Uncaptured ($2.50) held off second choice River Seven to extend his unbeaten streak to three races Saturday at Woodbine in the $150,000 Vandal Stakes.

After being gathered back early by Patrick Husbands, Uncaptured dueled up front with Weather Bill through moderate fractions in the six-furlong dash for Ontario-bred 2-year-olds.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Kid Kate is perfect in four starts over the main track at Saratoga, which makes it surprising the multiple stakes winner has shown up in the entries for Monday’s $100,000 Shakespeare Caress Stakes, an overnight stakes for fillies and mares carded to be run at 5 1/2 furlongs on the turf. There is a $66,254 pick-six carryover heading into Monday's card as the bet went unhit Sunday.
