LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Jockey Robby Albarado knew better than anyone the strengths of the two favorites in Saturday's for 2-year-old fillies at Churchill Downs, having ridden both 3-5 favorite Salty Strike and 9-5 Just Louise in their first-out victories at the track last month.

Although the former was the more dominant winner of the two, Albarado said he was impressed by how Just Louise had won her debut after a troubled start, winning from off the pace. That effort, which came following a slow start, left a mark with him, he said, influencing his decision to ride her.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Trainer Bret Calhoun stated his belief earlier this week that Chamberlain Bridge, age 6, was actually a better horse than Chamberlain Bridge age 4 or 5.

Point taken.

In the 2009 Arlington Sprint, Chamberlain Bridge contested the hottest of paces and was gunned down in the stretch by Yankee Injunuity. The newer, more manageable Chamberlain Bridge was taken back Saturday in the 2010 , which he won by more than four lengths with an explosive kick.

Huge was second under Rosemary Homeister Jr., three lengths in front of Patriot Miss in third.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Final Mesa toyed with her four rivals in Saturday's , winning the five-furlong dash for 2-year-old fillies by 7 3/4 lengths. She paid $2.70.

Final Mesa is owned and trained by Wesley Ward, who also won last Saturday's 2-year-old stakes at Woodbine, the Victoria, with Madman Diaries.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Here Comes Ben might well have earned a trip to Saratoga with a flashy victory Friday night at Churchill Downs in a race that moved his 2010 record to 3 for 3.

Trainer Charlie Lopresti said the tentative plan is to run Here Comes Ben in the Grade 1 Forego at Saratoga on Sept. 4. Ridden by Alex Solis, the 4-year-old colt launched a terrific run to nail Hamazing Destiny in the final yards of the $65,387 Kelly's Landing, an overnight stakes that anchored an 11-race card that drew an ontrack crowd of 26,330.

The running time of the six furlongs over the Tapeta surface was 1:10.24, and Zoeling returned $7 to win.

The track on Friday night at Prairie Meadows played fast, but Majesticperfection played faster. The 4-year-old Harlan's Holiday colt owned by Padua Stables and trained by Steve Asmussen won his stakes debut in a laugher, beating favored Atta Boy Roy by 4 3/4 lengths in the

while never really being asked in the stretch by jockey Shaun Bridgmohan. Time for the six furlongs? A track record 1:07.24, .61 faster than Coach Jimi Lee's old standard set in 2004.
