DEL MAR, Calif. - Lilly Fa Pootz, claimed for $16,000 at Golden Gate Fields last December, won her first stakes in Saturday's $82,500 Osunitas Handicap at Del Mar.

Ridden by Joe Talamo, Lilly Fa Pootz ($15.20) rallied wide through the stretch and ran down leader Burg Berg in the final sixteenth, winning by a head. Theodora, a workmate of two-time champion Zenyatta in recent weeks, finished third in the field of nine, a nose behind Burg Berg

Lilly Fa Pootz ran 1 1/16 miles on turf in 1:42.27.

The style of the win surprised trainer and co-owner Jerry Hollendorfer.

SHAKOPEE, Minn. - Shane Sellers was late to ride Saturday at Canterbury Park because of a travel delay from Chicago. But once on the grounds, the veteran jockey was as punctual as ever, coaxing Never Retreat to the lead in midstretch and drawing clear to capture the $100,000 Lady Canterbury Breeders' Cup Stakes.

"We sat on a plane for a long time before the good Lord finally got us over here safely," said Sellers, who earlier missed riding two earlier winners because of the snafu.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - A cool and collected Rachel Alexandra, the reigning Horse of the Year, captured the $400,000 Lady's Secret Stakes for fillies and mares in the oppressive heat Saturday at Monmouth Park.

It was her second straight stakes win following a pair of narrow losses to start the 2010 season.

Rachel Alexandra beat the pacesetting Queen Martha by three lengths. It was another 7 3/4 lengths back to Ask the Moon in third.

Salt Flat Speed continued his dominance of the local handicap division with a three-length win over Footprint in the $50,000 Don Fleming Handicap at Northlands on Saturday.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The Kentucky Derby has taken its toll on plenty of 3-year-old colts over the years. It obviously has had little effect on the 3-year-old filly Devil May Care.

Devil May Care has bounced back from a 10th-place finish in the Derby with two solid victories in Grade 1 races, the second effort coming in Saturday's $250,000 Coaching Club American Oaks which she won by four lengths at steamy Saratoga.

Kiss Mine ran her rivals off their feet Saturday, seizing command soon after the start and pulling away from favored C.S. Silk down the stretch to post her first career stakes victory in the $75,000 Ellis Park Turf Stakes in Henderson, Ky.

With Jon Court riding for trainer David Vance, Kiss Mine returned $27.40 after finishing 1 1/16 miles in 1:39.55 over a firm turf. Kiss Mine, bred and owned by the Hermitage Farm of Carl Pollard, was winning for the fifth time in 20 career starts.

DEL MAR, Calif.– Trainer Mike Harrington finished one-two with Swiss Wild Cat and Hi Ho Yodeler in Friday’s $100,000 California Thoroughbred Breeders Association Stakes at Del Mar. But he does not consider the order of finish to be a ranking of his two leading juvenile fillies. When they make an expected return in the $100,000 Generous Portion Stakes for 2-year-old fillies over six furlongs on Sept. 1, Harrington said the result could be reversed.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Daily average all-source handle at the recently concluded Belmont Park spring/summer meet was down only 2.3 percent, while daily average ontrack handle was virtually the same when compared with figures from last year, the New York Racing Association announced Saturday.

Informed Decision, the 2009 filly and mare sprint Eclipse Award winner, will try two turns for the first time when she faces a field of 10 other older filly and mares in the $100,000 Windward at Presque Isle Downs on Tuesday evening.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – If his last two races are any indication, Giant Moon appears to be back to the form that made him the champion New York-bred 2-year-old of 2007 as well as a graded stakes winning 4-year-old of last year.

If that is indeed the case, Giant Moon figures to be very tough in Monday’s $70,000 Evan Shipman Stakes for statebreds at Saratoga. After a two-year hiatus, the Evan Shipman was brought back when the Saratoga meet expanded to 40 days. The Evan Shipman will go as race 3 on a nine-race card.
