Borrowing a page from Winter Memories in the Beaugay an hour or so earlier, Boisterous ($4.60) muscled his way clear while angling out for room nearing the stretch, and outkicked European import Desert Blanc to win Saturday's Grade 3, $150,000 Fort Marcy Stakes by a length under Alan Garcia.

"It was a slow pace," said Garcia, who is now 2 for 2 on the Phipps Stable homebred. "I know my horse can run the last part, so I wanted to be patient. I was waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting, and turning for home I let him run and he did really well."

The 8-1 shot Pretension won a three-horse blanket finish in the $51,000 Canonero II Stakes on Saturday at Pimlico.

My Adonis, who had been shipped to Churchill Downs earlier in the week in an effort to get into the Kentucky Derby field, finished third in the Canonero II, two necks behind Pretension and a neck behind runner-up Brimstone Island.

My Adonis, ridden by Elvis Trujillo, and Pretension, Javier Santiago aboard, dueled for the lead for most of the 1 1/16-mile race. Pretension edged away from My Adonis in late stretch and held off Brimstone Island.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Beeker Street got hammered late in the wagering and then justified that backing with a front-running score in the $150,000 Queenston Stakes on Saturday at Woodbine.

Beeker Street set a sleepy pace on the outside in the seven-furlong event, while being pressed by Run in Aruba and Menlo Castle. He opened up a daylight lead in the stretch and then held off the wide-closing Making Amends to win by a head in 1:23.23. Chicago shipper Fastestwhogetspaid checked in third in the eight-horse field of Ontario-bred 3-year-olds.

GROVE CITY, Ohio - Klassy Korbin led every step of the way to win the $50,000 Babst/Palacios at Beulah Park on Saturday.

Breaking from post 3 in the field of eight Ohio-bred older horses, Klassy Korbin had everything his own way, setting quick fractions of 21.99 and 45.37 seconds to lead by four going into the stretch. Jockey Scott Spieth went to work on Klassy Korbin, a 5-year-old son of Dayjur, and he responded, winning by 2 1/4 lengths.

Winter Memories and Belmont Park are still perfect together, after the flashy filly unleashed her patented stretch run in Saturday’s Grade 3, $150,000 Beaugay Stakes to give Eddie Castro his 2,000th career victory.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The $100,000 Senorita Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Betfair Hollywood Park on Saturday ended tragically when race winner Bobina broke down a stride after the wire and could not be saved.

Bobina suffered catastrophic injuries to the fetlock of her right foreleg and was euthanized on the racetrack, track stewards said. Winning jockey Victor Espinoza was unseated in the accident but rose after a few minutes and walked off the track. He took off his next two mounts.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Despite the presence of other front-runners in Saturday’s Grade 1, $561,500 Woodford Reserve Turf Classic at Churchill Downs, it was clear from the start what the tactics for Little Mike were: Come catch me.

None could. Under a skillful ride by Joe Bravo, Little Mike went straight to the lead and was never passed in winning a surprisingly moderately paced race by 2 1/2 lengths.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Those who witnessed the Humana Distaff on Saturday at Churchill Downs would find it difficult imagining that at this moment there’s a better one-turn filly anywhere than Groupie Doll.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Trainer Shug McGaughey was quietly confident about the chances of his Hungry Island as the field neared the starting gate for Saturday's $200,000 Distaff Turf Mile at Churchill Downs.

"She moved a little too soon in her last start, and the pace sets up well for her today," McGaughey said while moving closer to the rail for a better view of the race.

A couple of minutes later, McGaughey had the best view of all, from the winner's circle, after Hungry Island rallied to a one-length victory over Tapitsfly in the Grade 2 Distaff Turf Mile.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – With approximately three furlongs remaining in the $441,600 Churchill Downs Stakes, reigning sprint champion Amazombie and Preakness champion Shackleford were on even terms.

For Amazombie, the question was how he would handle the seven-furlong distance. For Shackleford, the question was whether he could end a seven-race losing streak dating back 50 weeks.
