DEL MAR, Calif. - Acclamation is making summertime success at Del Mar an annual event.

For the second consecutive year, Acclamation won the $300,000 Eddie Read Stakes over 1 1/8 miles on turf on Saturday, leading throughout and never facing a major challenge. Acclamation extended his winning streak to seven races, all graded stakes, in the Eddie Read.

“Each race gets a little more nerve-racking,” owner-breeder Bud Johnston said. “It’s very satisfying.”

 ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Since changing barns and moving to Polytrack this year, the 3-year-old filly La Tia has been unbeatable, and on Saturday at Arlington she jumped from statebred-restricted to graded stakes competition and captured the Grade 3, $150,000 Arlington Oaks by three-quarters of a length over Sky Dreamer.

SHAKOPEE, Minn. – The $50,000 John Bullit Stakes, contested at 1 1/16  miles over a yielding turf course, was an encore for Wild Jacob in front of more than 15,000 fans on Extreme Race Day at Canterbury Park.

Wild Jacob, the 2011 Bullit champion, stalked a quick early pace set by the duo of I’ll Show Them and Dakota Digger under a patient ride by jockey Scott Stevens.

“He needs a solid pace to run at and he got one,” said Stevens.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - After spending the majority of the first  year of her racing career on grass, it is probably safe to say Questing is not likely to return to the turf in the foreseeable future.

Benefitting from a perfectly judged ride by her young jockey, Irad Ortiz Jr., and overcoming a little of her own immaturity through late stretch, Questing became a Grade 1 winner with a convincing 4 1/4-length decision over Zo Impressive in Saturday’s $300,000 Coaching Club American Oaks at Saratoga. In Lingerie, the 3-2 favorite, finished a non-threatening third.

CINCINNATI - Agressive Elegance overcame a jockey's objection to win the $75,000 Norm Barron Queen City Oaks at River Downs on Saturday.

Kentucky-based colt Global Power, who earned his first career victory on turf in front-running fashion at Mountaineer Racetrack last month, proved that performance was no fluke when he stepped up to stakes company to score a surprise victory in Saturday’s $100,000 Sussex Stakes at Delaware Park.

The 1 1/16-mile Sussex was the main supporting feature on a card topped by the Grade 2 Delaware Handicap.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Grace Phil caught Consecutive in deep stretch to land her turf debut Saturday at Woodbine in the $125,400 Passing Mood Stakes.

Grace Phil stalked the leaders along the inside, and then split horses in midstretch before kicking in to take the seven-furlong sprint by a half-length, in 1:23.69 over the firm ground. Pace-presser Consecutive finished 1 1/4 lengths clear of pacemaker Kitty's Got Class, the 126-pound highweight, who held on for third. Favored Estella never fired and wound up sixth in the nine-horse field of Ontario-sired 3-year-old fillies.

Commander scored a convincing 3 1/2-length win over Footprint in the $50,000 Spangled Jimmy for 3-year-olds and up at Northlands Park Saturday. Commander was favored in the one-mile race and paid $4.70. He was ridden by Kentucky Derby/Preakness winning jockey Mario Gutierrez.

Prior to Saturday, Fox Rules clearly looked like a far better horse on turf, where he had won 3 of 7 starts, than on dirt, where he was 0 for 4, including a 14 1/2-length drubbing in his last appearance on the main track in the March 10 Tampa Bay Derby.

Given one more try on the main track in the 40^th running of the $150,000 New York Derby at Finger Lakes, Fox Rules showed he can be effective on dirt, too.

A pair of horses claimed last time out while running against nonwinners-of-three lifetime company will try to make a successful jump to allowance company in Tuesday night’s featured fifth race at Penn National.

Alicantino, who scored for a $12,500 claiming price going two turns on turf, and Fiery Forest, fourth as the 2-1 choice while running with a $16,000 price on his head, will race as an uncoupled entry for trainer Tim Kreiser in a first-level allowance that carries a $36,000 purse and will be contested a one mile.
