Harlan Street capitalized on speed duel involving odds-on favorite Ravalo to capture Saturday night's $75,000 Christmas Stakes at Mountaineer Racetrack.

PHOENIX - Napili Point gained a measure of redemption and started a series of longshot winners when he captured Saturday's $50,000 Lost in the Fog Juvenile at Turf Paradise, the main event in a stakes tripleheader.

The 4-year-old Illinois-bred turf horse Princeville Condo never runs poorly, and now he is 1 for 1 in stakes competition after capturing the $60,000 by a head on Saturday at Fair Grounds.

Golden Country, with Orlando Mojica aboard, proved narrowly best in a four-horse photo when notching his first stakes victory Saturday in the $50,000 Holiday Cheer Stakes at Turfway Park in Florence, Ky.

Golden Country, a 4-year-old colt by Menifee, rallied from sixth to be up by a neck over Agastache. Accredit was just a nose back in third, with Flavor, the 2-1 favorite in a field of nine, another head back in fourth.

ARCADIA, Calif. - M One Rifle finally finished his job in a major race in Saturday's at Santa Anita.

After placing in two stakes at the Oak Tree meeting here in the fall, M One Rifle led throughout the Grade 1 Malibu Stakes, recording the biggest win of his eight-race career.

Ridden by Mike Smith, M One Rifle ($16.20) ran seven furlongs in 1:21.04, finishing 2 1/2 lengths in front of runner-up Misremembered, the 2-1 favorite.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Evita Argentina got off slowly but finished fastest of all, storming down the center of the track to rally from last to first to win the Grade 1, $300,000 for 3-year-old fillies on Saturday's opening-day card at Santa Anita.

Evita Argentina ($10.40) blew past 10 rivals to win by two lengths, with Starlarks beating Amazed by Grace by a head for second. Gabby's Golden Gal, the 5-2 favorite, finished seventh in the field of 11. Mother Ruth was scratched.

ARCADIA, Calif. - The Usual Q.T. extended his winning streak to six races in Saturday's $100,000 at Santa Anita, his third straight win in a graded stakes.

Trainer Jim Cassidy considered Saturday's win to be a little more than a trial. Ridden by Victor Espinoza, The Usual Q.T. ($2.80) was fourth, racing about 3 1/2 lengths behind pacesetter Quoted on the backstretch, rallied four wide on the turn, and won by a length over 16-1 Gallant Son. Massone finished third in the field of nine 3-year-olds.

OLDSMAR, Fla. - Overcoming trouble on the turn, Gesu rallied along the inside through the final furlong and came away with a hard-earned half-length upset victory in the $75,000 Inaugural Stakes on Saturday before 4,737 fans at Tampa Bay Downs.

Gesu was running comfortably in sixth, just a few lengths off the pace moving into the turn of the Inaugural, when jockey Paco Lopez was forced to take up sharply in tight quarters between rivals as the field approached the quarter pole. They dropped back to next to last in the field of 10 juveniles.

MIAMI - Truly amazing!

That's how trainer Jonathan Sheppard described Cloudy's Knight after the long-winded 9-year-old gelding capped off his brief 2009 campaign with a 1 1/4-length victory over Spice Route in Saturday's $150,000 at Calder.

Presious Passion, making his first start since finishing a game second in the Breeders' Cup Turf, failed in his attempt to win the Grade 2 McKnight for the third consecutive year. He finished a tiring fifth after being hard pressed early as the 3-5 favorite.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Santa Anita marked the beginning of its 75th anniversary season on Saturday, when the gorgeous track opened for its long winter meet.
