POMONA, Calif. – Jockey Alonso Quinonez is on a roll heading into the lucrative fall racing season.

Quinonez, 26, rode longshot Cayambe to a $53.40 front-running upset Sunday at Fairplex Park in the marquee race of the Los Angeles County Fair meet, the $75,000 Ralph M. Hinds Handicap.

Majesticality, the second longest shot on the board at 40-1 in a field of 11 3-year-olds, overcame a poor start to score a huge upset in the Grade 3, $156,291 British Columbia Derby at Hastings on Sunday.

Coming from well off the pace with Richard Hamel aboard, Majesticality ($82.60) made a strong late move while going at least four-wide around the final turn and edged Crew Leader by a half-length in the 1 1/8-mile feature on a card with three other stakes.

Senor Rojo and Spaghetti Mouse turned the 1 1/8-mile, $25,771  Sir Winston Churchill at Hastings into a match race on Sunday with Senor Rojo overtaking Spaghetti Mouse on the stretch turn and then drawing off to win by 1 1/4 lengths.

Breaking sharply with Richard Hamel aboard, Senor Rojo stalked Spaghetti Mouse through modest fractions of 24.05 and 48.74 seconds. He was still a length behind after six furlongs in 1:13.69 before moving up to take over the lead on the stretch turn.

Exclusive Scheme doesn’t get as much notoriety as her fellow New York-bred stablemate Chestoria, but she is having just as good - if not better - a season in 2010.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - Soundwave was a dominant winner in the filly division and Poseidon’s Warrior rolled to a convincing win at 9-1 against the colts and geldings as Monmouth Park hosted the National Association of Two-Year-Old Consignors Futurity on Sunday.

The two races were open to horses who cataloged in 2010 with a paid advertising fund fee.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Biofuel closed stoutly from off a hot pace to take the $254,200 Selene Stakes at Woodbine on Sunday, solidifying her status as a leading Canadian Horse of the Year candidate.

Stretch runner Biofuel ($2.60) broke a bit slowly in the 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-old fillies, before jockey Eurico Da Silva got her to settle near the back of the strung-out eight-horse field.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Officially, Lookin At Lucky worked five furlongs in 1:00.60 at Hollywood Park on Sunday.

There was much more to Lookin At Lucky’s morning than that, however, for the star 3-year-old who won the $1 million Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park in his last start on Aug. 1 and is being prepared for the $500,000 Indiana Derby at Hoosier Park on Saturday.

POMONA, Calif. – Briecat and Bench the Judge returned to peak form Saturday at Fairplex Park, where each scored decisive stakes wins.

Briecat took control early and won the $50,000 Las Madrinas Handicap for fillies and mares by 3 1/4 lengths; Bench the Judge won the $50,000 Pomona Derby for 3-year-olds by 3 1/2 lengths.

ALTOONA, IOWA – Holland Aces ran down Dash of Paint to prevail by three-quarters of a length in Saturday night’s $68,200 Jim Bader Futurity at Prairie Meadows. The win in the final race of the meet enabled Charley Hunt to capture the meet’s title as leading trainer with 22 wins, one more than Brian Muse.
Holland Aces ($11.60) covered the 350 yards in 17.42 seconds.
