ARCADIA, Calif. - Macias won his stakes debut in Saturday's at Santa Anita, but was fully extended to hold off a late threat from Hurricane Ike.

Macias ($4.60) stalked pacesetter Our Minesweeper through early fractions of 22.36 and 44.97 seconds, and took the lead in early stretch. Ridden by Garrett Gomez, Macias led by 1 1/2 lengths in the stretch. He finished the six furlongs in 1:08.98.

Hurricane Ike, last of four for the first half-mile, finished two lengths clear of Privilaged, who was a neck clear of Our Minesweeper. Marcello and Runaway Bandido were scratched.

There were no tricks, only the treat of watching Unbridled Belle outclass seven other fillies and mares in Saturday s 15th running of the Grade 3, $109,000 at Aqueduct.

Carrying top weight of 120 pounds, mostly in the form of Ramon Dominguez, Unbridled Belle was coming off a pacesetting effort in the Beldame against multiple Grade 1 stakes winner Music Note, and looked like the main speed. Nevertheless, Dominguez was content to tuck the favorite along the rail into the clubhouse turn behind the trio of Weathered, Way With Words, and Manitoba Miss.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario The Irish invader Roan Inish won her maiden in style at Woodbine Saturday, taking the under an Irish rider, David Moran.

Roan Inish ($25) broke awkwardly in the 1 1/16-mile event, and gave the rest of the field of 2-year-old fillies a two-length head start. She proceeded to save ground, while running about four lengths off the lead on the backstretch.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - The Hall of Fame trainer Allen Jerkens looked at the tote board prior to the running of Saturday's at Aqueduct and saw his horse, Le Grand Cru, was the longest shot on the board at odds of 7-1.

"He's the least thought of of all the horses?" Jerkens recalled thinking. "I'm not a very good handicapper. To quote the great Hirsch Jacobs, 'It's better to be surprised than disappointed.'"

Apprentice jockey Amanda Casey remained in the intensive care unit of North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y., Saturday morning with internal bleeding and a bruised liver, according to her agent.

Casey, 26, was kicked in the side by her mount Karakorum Jete in the paddock prior to Friday's ninth race at Aqueduct. Earlier in the day, Casey had recorded her first win from 27 mounts since returning from a shoulder injury that forced her to miss three months.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - New Fandan rallied from last to pull off a 25-1 upset Friday night in the $60,000 John Henry Stakes at the Meadowlands.

The 1 3/8-mile race on the yielding turf course proved popular as 14 entered and only three scratched.

The team of trainer Andrea Gonzalez, owner-breeder Bonnie Ratajski, and jockey Hector Ramos made another successful stakes excursion to Penn National on Friday night.

For the second time in two years, the trio shipped in a horse from Philadelphia Park to win a fall stakes. This time, they struck gold with Deesadiva ($4.60), who held off even-money favorite Lavender Romp to take the $100,000 Roanoke for Pennsylvania-bred 3-year-old fillies.

In the fall of 2007, the same team won the Blue Mountain Juvenile with Espindola.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Jockey Julia Brimo was in critical condition at a Lexington hospital late Friday afternoon after suffering injuries when her mount, Golden Stride, fell after clipping heels in the first race at Keeneland.

Brimo, advancing up the inside, fell to the Polytrack main track, and Golden Stride tumbled to the ground, appearing to strike the fallen Brimo. All other horses appeared to avoid the rider, although Gihon and jockey Larry Sterling bumped into Golden Stride as that horse tried to regain his footing in the 1 1/8-mile race for maiden $30,000 claiming horses.
