LINCOLN, Neb. - Sir Magic Man rallied back through the short stretch at Lincoln to post a $30.80 upset in the $15,000 Speed Stakes for older horses at the Lincoln State Fair on Saturday afternoon.

Ridden by Jose Ranilla, who posted three wins on the card, Sir Magic Man contested the early pace of the 4 1/2-furlong race, then re-rallied as 35-1 longshot Forgot the Time opened a 1 1/2-length lead into the stretch. Sir Magic Man rallied back to collar that one late and post the three-quarter-length win in 51.60 seconds over a fast track.

ALTOONA, Iowa - Trainer Kelly Von Hemel's stalwart trio of Crimson King Cat, Maya's Storm and Red Hot N Gold were expected to dominate Saturday's John Wayne Stakes, a six-furlong event for Iowa-bred colts and geldings. With his father Don Von Hemel in town for his grandson's high school graduation ceremony, the three accomplished runners were inseparable at the sixteenth pole and ended up finishing first, second, and fourth.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Red Arrow scored a front-running $18.80 upset in the Grade 3 Los Angeles Handicap on Saturday at Hollywood Park, but the 6-year-old's low-rated win in the six-furlong Los Angeles will add no stability to the West Coast sprint division.

Red Arrow and jockey Joe Talamo took advantage of a paceless field, made the lead even after a slow start, and scored a front-running win in an ordinary 1:08.92. Stakes-caliber sprinters normally run two- to three-fifths of a second faster on Cushion Track.

BALTIMORE - Parading missed almost a year of racing, sidelined between May 2008 and April 2009. At age 6, he has come back a better horse. A month after easily winning the Ben Ali Stakes over Polytrack at Keeneland, Parading captured the Grade 2, $150,000 Dixie Stakes on the Pimlico grass course Saturday.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - The quick Gold Coyote and his rider, Bobby Walker Jr., utilized a different game plan on Saturday to win the $50,000 Express at Lone Star Park. Instead of being part of the pace, Gold Coyote settled in third off dueling leaders Orphan Brigade and Wind Water, then overtook them in the stretch for a 1 1/4-length win.

"I didn't want to die in a speed duel," Walker said. "My horse is capable of doing that. Things turned out well."

Slides Choice was kept back off the early pace in the $50,000 Tomboy at River Downs before rallying on the far turn and drawing clear in upper stretch to win by 3 3/4 lengths. Trained by Tim Hamm, Slides Choice has now won all three of her starts this season. A 3-year-old daughter of Devil His Due, Slides Choice was the Ohio 2-year-old champion in 2008. Cesar Camaque piloted Slides Choice.

Awesome Rhythm, with Jim McAleney riding, wraps up his 2 1/4-length victory in the Marine at Woodbine.

On the Menu ($3.60) outfought Bold Union and Mary's Follies in the stretch to earn her first stakes victory in the $65,000 Just Smashing at Monmouth Park.

Ridden for the first time by Eddie Castro, On the Menu sat just off a three-way early battle for the lead, went three wide into the stretch to challenge, overtook Bold Union in deep stretch, then held off 12-1 shot Mary's Follies by a neck in the six-furlong race for 3-year-old fillies.

Jockey Francisco Torres swept both stakes at Louisiana Downs on Saturday, when he guided Silent Pipe to a front-running win in the $50,000 Free Spirit s Joy, and Lightlightlight to a half-length score in the $50,000 Fantasia. Both races were for 3-year-olds at six furlongs, and both were restricted to horses bred in Louisiana.

Giving her backers a few anxious moments - about 95 seconds' worth - Seattle Smooth was along in the nick of time to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in Saturday's Grade 2, $150,000 Shuvee Handicap at Belmont Park.

As the only graded stakes winner on dirt in the field of six fillies and mares, Seattle Smooth ($2.50) was dispatched as the 1-4 favorite under Ramon Dominguez. After breaking in good order, she was last of a tightly bunched group early as Granted Tiger set fractions of 23.30 seconds, 45.89, and 1:10.57 while pressed by longshots Are We Dreamin and Color Me Up.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - In the days leading into the Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs on Saturday, trainer Ian Wilkes kept teasing with his colleague Steve Margolis.

And after the Wilkes-trained Capt. Candyman Can earned a hard-fought victory over Cash Refund, a previously unbeaten gelding trained by Margolis, Wilkes had this quip: "When I told them to bring it on, I didn't mean bring it on that much."
