Possetothemax continued to show his versatility, rallying from just off the pace before outlasting a fast-closing Lettie's Relic by a neck to capture Saturday's $55,000 Reappeal Stakes at Calder.

Possetothemax came into the Reappeal off an eight-length, entry-level optional claiming and allowance win over a sloppy main track. That performance earned him a career-best 100 Beyer Speed Figure. He had little trouble, though, readjusting to a turf course over which he had already posted two victories in three previous tries.

Our Edge ($6.60) led all the way in his jump up to stakes competition, holding off Gone Astray by a head to win the $70,000 Coronado's Quest Stakes for 3-year-olds at Monmouth Park.

Those two pulled away from Endymion, who was 2 1/4 lengths back in third. The time was 1:43.42 for the 1 1/16 miles.

Elvis Trujillo, the leading rider at Monmouth, was aboard for trainer Nick Zito as Our Edge, a son of The Cliff's Edge, made the successful leap from maiden win to a stakes victory.

Using the front-running tactics that brought her victory in the 2008 Obeah Stakes, Unbridled Belle went right to the front again Saturday at Delaware Park, cruising to an 11-length win while defending her crown in the Grade 3, for fillies and mares.

The Obeah serves as the prep for the meet's highlight, the Grade 2, $1 million Delaware Handicap on July 19. Trainer Todd Pletcher said after Saturday's race Unbridled Belle will be pointed to the Del Cap. She won the 2007 Del Cap and was a beaten favorite in last year's renewal.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Icon Project romped in the mud, beating Criticism by 13 1/4 lengths in the off-the-turf for fillies and mares Saturday at Belmont Park.

Hoping against hope, Belmont officials fought to keep the $245,000 New York on the soft grass, even after the other four turf races on the card had been moved to the main track.

But another deluge, four races before the feature, dashed those plans. The New York was shifted to the muddy main track, with the distance shortened one furlong to 1 1/8 miles.

Jockey Chad Beckon, who was seriously injured in a spill last Wednesday night at Woodbine, has made progress and been moved from critical care to intensive care at a Toronto hospital, according to his agent, Tony Esposito.

"He's improved 100 percent over the last 24 hours," Esposito said Saturday afternoon. "He's breathing on his own. He woke up on his own [Friday], which is very good. He's alert and awake."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Julien Leparoux was walking through the paddock runway after riding in the first night race in the 134-year history of Churchill Downs and looked up at the massive crowd.

"It looks like the Dubai World Cup," said Leparoux.

Indeed, amid the almost surreal setting of artificial lighting and a festive crowd estimated at more than 30,000, the first night of racing at Churchill was a success of world-class

BOSSIER CITY, La. - There is a good chance of stakes participation forecast for at least one statebred after his impressive effort in last Thursday's feature race at Louisiana Downs.

In the Forecast defeated a field full of stakes regulars in the third-level optional claiming sprint that was not restricted to Louisiana-breds but contained nothing but.

"He's a racehorse," trainer Eric Guillot said Friday morning from his base of operations in south Louisiana. "I can't believe he paid $27. His numbers looked as good as the others in there."

ELMONT, N.Y. - Cocoa Beach was an unexpected addition to the Sunday lineup at Belmont Park.

The outstanding 5-year-old from the Godolphin Stable turned up in an overnight stakes: the $65,000 Heatherten for fillies and mares going 1 1/16 miles It is not the kind of race, or modest purse, that normally attracts a two-time Grade 1 winner.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - You can find 10-year-old Thoroughbreds still out there plying the trade. But these animals tend to be holding desperately to the last tatters of a long career. Ten-year-old Major Rhythm - he's nowhere near the bargain rack yet.

Major Rhythm is scheduled to make the 63rd start of his career on Sunday at Arlington, and if you want to claim him, it'll still cost you $50,000. And this spot is no reach, class-wise, either. In two 2009 starts, Major Rhythm has finished fourth in an overnight stakes and second by a head here May 29 in a $50,000 turf claimer.
