Heavily favored Data Link, patiently ridden by John Velazquez, passed three horses in the final furlong to capture Sunday’s Grade 2, $200,000 Monmouth Stakes at Monmouth Park.

In winning for the sixth time in 12 starts overall, the 4-year-old Data Link ($3.20) set a course record for 1 1/8 miles on turf with rails set at 0 feet. He completed the distance on a firm course in 1:45.93, breaking the record of 1:46.39 set by J’ Ray on Aug. 3, 2008.

Include Me Out and Zazu, two leading contenders for Saturday’s $250,000 Vanity Handicap for fillies and mares, had their final workouts on Sunday at Hollywood Park.

Include Me Out, who won the Grade 2 Marjorie Everett Handicap on May 19, breezed six furlongs in 1:14.60.

Trained by Ron Ellis for Samantha Siegel, Include Me Out will be favored to win the Vanity over 1 1/8 miles, and extend her winning streak to four races. Earlier this year at Santa Anita, Include Me Out won the Grade 2 La Canada Stakes and the Grade 1 Santa Margarita Stakes.

INGLEWOOD, Calif.- Acclamation, who won the Grade 1 Charles Whittingham Handicap for the third consecutive year on Saturday, is likely to have the same summer campaign as he did in 2011, trainer Don Warren said on Sunday.

Warren said the tentative plan is for Acclamation to start twice during the Del Mar meeting - in the $300,000 Eddie Read Stakes over 1 1/8 miles on turf on July 21 and the $1 million Pacific Classic on the synthetic main track on Aug. 26.

Warren is leaning against starting Acclamation in the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup on July 7.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario— Prospective outran stablemate Patrioticandproud to take the $153,300 Victoria Park Stakes under Luis Contreras at Woodbine on  Sunday.

After bobbling at the break, Prospective raced in third in the four-horse field, as shipper Holiday Promise set honest fractions in the nine-furlong route for 3-year-olds. Holiday Promise retreated on the far turn, where Patrioticandproud assumed command before giving way in the final furlong to Prospective, who prevailed by 1 3/4  lengths  in 1:51.08. Courtville finished a distant third.

ELMONT, N.Y. -  Giant Ryan, who fractured both sesamoid bones in his left front leg during the running of Saturday’s True North Handicap at Belmont Park, remained at Belmont on Sunday while his connections and Dr. Dean Richardson at the New Bolton Center in Pennsylvania discussed plans for possible surgery later this week.   

ALTOONA, Iowa -- Racing over a surface that had been kind to rail speed throughout the night, Cainam circled his five rivals after coming from far back to take the $75,000 Cyclones Handicap going away by 1 1/2 lengths Saturday night at Prairie Meadows.

Confidently handled by Prairie Meadows’s all-time  winningest rider, Glenn Corbett, Cainam bided his time far behind a solid pace set by stablemate Launch Light. When given his cue, Cainam swept past favored Kate's Main Man and second-place finisher Wings of War, who had established a clear lead entering the stretch.

Trainer Bill Kaplan was the star of Calder’s Summit of Speed Preview Day program on Saturday, winning two of the four stakes on the card with longshots Another Romance and Wild Bout Tiffany. The Summit of Speed will be run on July 7.

Pj Chick in Black remained undefeated in four starts Saturday, when she comfortably held off 4-5 favorite Krash Cartel by a neck in the Grade 1, $600,000 Ruidoso Futurity for Quarter Horses. The race was one of two major stakes on the card at Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico. Executive Brass won his fourth consecutive race in the Grade 1, $679,207 Ruidoso Derby.

Business figures for this year’s Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park posted across-the-board gains compared to last year’s Belmont, according to figures distributed late Saturday by Belmont’s operator, the New York Racing Association.

The robust gains were altogether surprising given the circumstances surrounding this year’s race. I’ll Have Another, who was going for the Triple Crown, scratched out of the race on Friday, leading to speculation that business figures would be depressed.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Traditionally, the nation’s premier jockeys and their agents would begin lining up, securing and then protecting the most coveted Triple Crown mounts from the moment the 3-year-old season begins each winter. But John Velazquez has proven over the past two seasons that a better strategy for winning Triple Crown races is simply to be available and in the right place at the right time.
