Table Mesa continued her strong form as the 6-year-old mare captured Saturday’s $25,000 Mesa Handicap at Turf Paradise.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark.- It Happened Again has been unbeatable this meet at Oaklawn, as he picked up his third straight win of the season Saturday in the Grade 3, $125,000 Razorback Handicap.

He held off Thiskyhasnolimit by a half-length, while it was another 1 1/4 lengths back in third to Win Willy. The race served as the prep for the Grade 2, $500,000 Oaklawn Handicap on April 9.

As excited as trainer Todd Pletcher was to watch Uncle Mo return to the races in style Saturday at Gulfstream Park, was as disappointed as he had to be watching Brethren finish third in the Grade 2, $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby one hour later.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The longshot Miss Match closed resolutely and just did get up in the final strides to defeat favored Switch in the Grade 1, $300,000 Santa Margarita Invitational Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita, a race marred by an injury to Always a Princess, who fell near the wire and fractured both sesamoid bones in her left front ankle, but likely can be saved for breeding purposes, her trainer, Bob Baffert, said late Saturday.

Around the last turn of the century, Lu Ravi won three stakes races in New Orleans, including the Fair Grounds Oaks. Her daughter, Ravi’s Song, is making like mama.

Five-year-old Ravi’s Song, the first horse produced by Lu Ravi to show much on the racetrack, won the $98,000 New Orleans Ladies Stakes on Saturday by 1 1/2 lengths, using the same kind of flashy stretch run she employed capturing the Pelleteri Stakes on Feb. 12 at Fair Grounds.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla.- No bute, no Lasix, no respect!

And no problem for the gritty Tackleberry, who continues to confound the experts and outrun just about everybody’s expectations except those of his owner-trainer Luis Olivares. Saturday, Tackleberry held off Soaring Empire and Tizway to add the Grade 2 Gulfstream Park Handicap to his earlier victories this winter in the Grade 2 Gulfstream Park Sprint and Sunshine Millions Classic.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - In a performance called “effortless” by her rider, Mike Smith, Joyful Victory established herself as one of the most exciting 3-year-old fillies in the country on Saturday when she cruised home by 8 3/4  lengths in the Grade 3, $125,000 Honeybee at Oaklawn Park.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. -  Inherit the Gold passed his sternest test to date with an easy two-length victory over odds-on favorite Yawanna Twist in Saturday’s $65,000 Kings Point Stakes for New York-breds at Aqueduct.

 Yawanna Twist, the 4-5 favorite, finished second by 2 3/4 lengths over Spa City Fever. Mine Over Matter and Stud Muffin completed the order of finish. Thunder Chief scratched.

OLDSMAR, Fla. - Prominent from the outset, Denomination dueled with favored Zagora through a long drive and came away with a hard-earned neck victory in the Grade 3, $150,000 Hillsborough Stakes on Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs.

Under a well-judged ride by Frederick Lenclud, Denomination followed Cherokee Queen as she cut out a leisurely pace that included a half-mile in 49.53 seconds and six furlongs in 1:13.46. Denomination then went up from the outside to challenge turning for home.
