Evolutionist got a perfect stalking trip under James Graham, and gave trainer Bill Mott his second stakes win of the young Fair Grounds season with a decisive and popular victory late Saturday afternoon in the $58,200 .

Bred by Kinsman Farm and owned by Kinsman Stable, Evolutionist sports an excellent pedigree by A.P. Indy, and out of Dream Supreme and off a close fourth-place finish in the Grade 3 Perryville Stakes around one turn on Keeneland Polytrack, Evolutionist was made the overwhelming favorite in the Woodchopper, a one-mile grass race.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - This, Humberto Ascanio said, was the one he wanted.

Ascanio, the long-time assistant to trainer Bobby Frankel, got his first Grade 1 win on Friday in the Citation Handicap with Fluke, then came right back on Saturday at Hollywood Park to win another Grade 1 race, this time with the brilliant mare Ventura, who closed her career with a 1 3/4-length victory in the $300,000 .

"That's the one I wanted. This one. For him," Ascanio said of Frankel after posing for pictures with Ventura.

GROVE CITY, Ohio - The seventh race at Beulah Park on Saturday was declared a no-contest when jockey Wilkin Ortiz was thrown from his mount, Pacarrie's Magic, at the start.

Pacarrie's Magic, a 7-year-old gelding, stumbled at the start of the one-mile event and Ortiz tumbled to the ground. He lay motionless in the stretch of this one-mile track as the horses reached the far turn and the track stewards had the announcertell the riders to pull up as the gate crew tried to wave the field down.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - WinStar Farm strengthened its position for the 2010 classics and Calvin Borel salvaged a tie for the jockey crown at the Churchill Downs fall meet when Super Saver rolled to a front-running romp Saturday in the Grade 2, $191,250 .

The Penn National-based colt Turbo Speed remained undefeated in three starts by capturing Saturday s $81,450 Pennsylvania Nursery at Philadelphia Park.

Ridden by David Cora for trainer Bernie Houghton, Turbo Speed ($5.40) was carried extremely wide turning for home in the seven-furlong race for Pennsylvania-bred 2-year-olds, but managed to overtake tiring pacesetter El Rocco with about a furlong remaining and drew clear by 1 1/2 lengths. The winning time on a fast track was 1:26.03.

Jockey Jeremy Rose made his road trip to Laurel Park worthwhile Saturday when he guided Regal Solo to a 2 1/4-length victory in the $50,000 Jennings Handicap.

It was the fourth track Rose had ridden at within the past week. After riding for top trainers Tony Dutrow and Mike Trombetta at Philadelphia Park last Monday and Tuesday, Rose finished second aboard Greenspring in the Grade 3 Fall Highweight at Aqueduct on Thanksgiving Day, then went to Churchill Downs, where he rode Bullsbay, who was seventh in the Grade 2 Clark Handicap on Friday.

Disco T and Global Winds, two of the prime contenders in Monday's featured ninth race at Philadelphia Park, both are trained by Ramon Preciado.

But since the stablemates will race uncoupled, bettors may have a difficult time determining which of Preciado's pair is the better win candidate in a second-level allowance worth $47,000 and carded for a mile.

The past couple of months haven't been particularly productive for trainer Mark Shuman's stable. Since Oct. 1, Shuman has gone 0 for 15 at Laurel Park and 2 for 19 at the Meadowlands.

Shuman's statistics, however, are much brighter when he ships into Penn National. Over the same time span where he has been ice-cold in Maryland and New Jersey, Shuman shows a 4-for-8 record and a profitable $2.60 return on investment at the central Pennsylvania oval.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Joey's Best ($10.10) graduated in style at Woodbine Saturday, taking the $125,800 Kingarvie Stakes under Patrick Husbands in his first try around two turns.

Victory Launch set a quick pace in the 1 1/16-mile test for Ontario-sired 2-year-olds, while being tracked by favored Bold Canadian and second choice Ring My Surprise.

Trainer David Duggan will begin serving a seven-day suspension on Monday after one of his horses tested positive for a banned substance. Duggan, who was also fined $1,000, had the suspension reduced from 15 days for declining to appeal.

The Duggan-trained Lyke a Hurricane was found to have the presence of the medication Flunixin, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, in his system following a second-place finish in a $25,000 claiming race on Sept. 30 at Belmont Park. Lyke a Hurricane was disqualified and unplaced in the order of finish.
