Auction Watch kept his record intact on the Philadelphia Park turf course, getting up in the final strides to beat El Churruca by a nose in the $75,000 Alphabet Soup Handicap for registered Pennsylvania-breds.

The 2-5 favorite, Auction Watch is now a perfect 6 for 6 on the Philly Park course with the repeat victory in the Alphabet Soup, and it took an all-out effort to keep the streak intact.

Tasty Temptation ($6.10) managed best under testing conditions Saturday at Woodbine in the $251,600 Wonder Where Stakes, the final leg of the Canadian triple tiara for Canadian-bred 3-year-old fillies.

The 1 1/4-mile route was run over soft ground, and Gore Bay set very slow fractions while being pressed by 33-1 shot First Circle. Tasty Temptation raced near the back of the nine-horse field on the backstretch, and she commenced an inside rally at the head of the stretch.
