ALBANY, Calif -- The aptly named Daddy Nose Best  won a stretch-long duel with Lucky Chappy to capture  the Grade 3, $201,300 El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Fields by a nose.

The margin of victory was the smallest in 31 runnings of the race and reversed the finish between the two when Lucky Chappy ran fourth and Daddy Nose Best sixth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf.

Daddy Nose Best ($10.20) settled into good position in the middle of the 10-horse field. He had no place to run as he moved up on leaders All Squared Away and favorite Handsome Mike on the turn.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Tiz Point won an allowance race for 3-year-olds on turf at Santa Anita on Saturday, and is likely to switch surfaces for his next start.

 “More than likely, we’ll try the dirt, the way he trains on it,” trainer Richard Mandella said.

Mandella did not state what dirt race Tiz Point might try. There are two stakes for 3-year-olds on the main track in coming weeks at Santa Anita – the $300,000 San Felipe Stakes on March 10, and the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby on April 7. Asked about the Santa Anita Derby, Mandella said, “You never know.”

ARCADIA, Calif.- Overcoming challenges on the first turn, backstretch, and final furlong, Ellafitz won her third consecutive stakes in Saturday’s $200,000 Santa Maria Stakes at Santa Anita, the most impressive victory of her winning streak.

Ellafitz ($3.60) ran 1 1/16 miles in 1:42.48, finishing 1 1/4 lengths in front of 19-1 Miss Mittagong and 3-1 Vision in Gold, who finished in a dead heat for second in the field of seven. The margin at the finish was the farthest that Ellafitz got from her rivals during the race.

Iplaytricks won her second straight race at the Sunland Park meet on Saturday, when she upset Rose's Desert by three-quarters of a length in the $110,000 Sydney Valentini Handicap. The one-mile race was restricted to fillies and mares bred in New Mexico.

Iplaytricks ($16.40) overtook the 1-5 Rose's Desert, who was prominent for much of the way while shooting for her fifth straight win Saturday. Iplaytricks covered the distance on a fast track in 1:38.46. Ken Tohill rode the winner for Michael Stinson and trainer Joel Marr.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Absinthe Minded exerted her dominance over Oaklawn Park's filly and mares ranks Saturday in the $100,000 Bayakoa, when she powered to a four-length win over Tiz Miz Sue in the 1 1/16-mile race. It was Absinthe Minded second straight win in the race, and the fourth Bayakoa score for her jockey, Terry Thompson.

Derive’s love affair with Turf Paradise hit a crescendo Saturday as the 6-year-old captured the meet’s marquee event, the $75,000 Phoenix Gold Cup, to make it five wins in as many starts over the Phoenix track. But it wasn’t easy.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Force Freeze answered the seven-furlong question and took the first step towards helping trainer Peter Walder erase the bitter memory of his near-miss in the Breeders' Cup Sprint with an easy and very impressive 3 3/4-length victory over Troilus in Saturday's $150,000 Gulfstream Park Sprint Championship.

Plutonium led every step of the way in posting a 30-1 stunner Saturday in the 30th running of the $50,000 Dust Commander Stakes at Turfway Park in Florence, Ky.

Luis Martinez Jr. was aboard for the 8 1/4-length runaway, while El Gran Sol, at 49-1 the second-longest shot in the field, followed the winner the entire way in easily holding second. Proceed Bee, the 9-5 favorite, was third, another 2 1/2 lengths back. Max Silverhammer, the defending champion, was fourth at 12-1.

With 10 victories in her previous 13 starts entering Saturday's $200,000 Barbara Fritchie Handicap at Laurel Park, Magical Feeling certainly had displayed a penchant for winning.

Having never competed in a graded race before, however, Magical Feeling was not given much chance by the betting public, who sent her off as the second-longest shot on the board at 27-1 in the seven-horse field.
