BALTIMORE - Off her last race, Sensible Lady didn't make sense to a lot of bettors in the $100,000 The Very One Stakes at Pimlico.

But given her performance two starts back in a second-level allowance race here, the switch to turf made perfect sense to Sensible Lad's trainer, Tim Salzman.

"She ran a huge race here about a month ago," Salzman said. "She ran a very fast time with her neck bowed."

BALTIMORE – Last month, trainer Donnie Von Hemel came out on the short end of a photo when Caleb’s Posse lost a nose decision to Jackson Bend in the Grade 1 Carter Handicap at Aqueduct.

Friday, the roles were reversed for Von Hemel as Alternation got his nose down on the wire just in front of Nehro to win the Grade 3, $300,000 Pimlico Special before an announced crowd of 32,473.

“We got beat a dirty photo in New York last month, so it all evens up,” Von Hemel said.

For the first time since last Saturday, the pick six was hit at Belmont Park on Friday, with two tickets each worth $431,363 for the correct combination of 6-1-4-11-3-5.

The pick six eluded bettors Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday, resulting in a three-day carryover of $319,939. An additional $952,331 was wagered on Friday's sequence.

The winners were Dylan Dangerous ($4.40), Adjournment ($27.40), Leading Citizen ($6.10), City Vice ($42.20), Hyper ($7.40), and Tapaway ($6.80).

The 5-of-6 consolation paid $943.

BALTIMORE – Late in the stretch run of the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, the only possible threat to Todd was Todd.

In Lingerie had overcome a troubled start, an uncomfortable opening quarter-mile, and a wide trip to take over from favored Mamma Kimbo after turning for home in the Friday co-feature on the Preakness eve program at Pimlico, and the only looming menace was her Todd Pletcher-trained stablemate, Displosablepleasure. But In Lingerie, with John Velazquez up, continued resolutely to post a 1 1/4-length triumph in the 88th running of the Grade 2, $300,000 Black-Eyed Susan.

BALTIMORE – Fiddlers Patriot needs to be nursed along because of quarter cracks, according to trainer George Weaver, but when he's good, he's very good. He fired fresh off a layoff on Friday at Pimlico to win the $100,000 Jim McKay Turf Sprint for older horses, experiencing the thrill of victory, not the agony of the feet, in the race named for the late host of "ABC's Wide of Sports."

AUBURN, Wash. – After blazing parallel paths to stardom in Northwest racing, Noosa Beach and Hollywood Harbor will meet for the first time Sunday in the $50,000 Governor’s Handicap at Emerald Downs, the showcase event on an 11-race card that begins at 2 p.m. Pacific.

Christophe Clement will have a big say in the Tiller and Key Cents, a pair of $90,000 overnight stakes that share top billing on Sunday, but cautions, “It’s New York, it’s Belmont, and it’s never easy.”

Clement has strength in numbers in the Tiller, scheduled for the Widener turf at seven furlongs. He sends out three of the eight 3-year-olds, with Summer Breezing tabbed as a slight favorite over stablemate Achilles, while Faretti will be a price.

“All three are training well,” said Clement

BALTIMORE – The undefeated Agave Kiss rolled to her sixth straight win Friday with an overpowering, front-running victory in the $100,000 Miss Preakness Stakes for 3-year-old fillies.

Agave Kiss ($3.20), the heavy favorite, broke like a shot under jockey Ramon Dominguez, quickly opened a daylight advantage on her rivals, and was never threatened. She finished 5 1/2 lengths clear of runner-up Millionreasonswhy, with Ageless another 3 1/4 lengths back in third in the field of seven.

Gypsy Robin and Singlet were scratched.

AUBURN, Wash. – Quick, who ran the fastest race at Emerald Downs in 2011? It wasn’t Noosa Beach, the reigning heavyweight champion, Northwest Division, and it wasn’t Awesome Gem, the horse who KO’ed Noosa Beach in the Grade 3 Longacres Mile.

Jebrica was the fastest horse at Emerald last year, at least for one day. The people who compile Beyer Speed Figures assigned a 98 for his victory in the nine-furlong Emerald Derby, and Jebrica looks to be sitting on more fireworks Sunday as he makes his season debut in the $50,000 Governor’s Handicap.

BALTIMORE - After moving out to launch a menacing rally on the far turn, Bold Affair proved best in the stretch to capture Friday's $100,000 Skipat Stakes at Pimlico Race Course.
