Code of Honour helped control the pace from the start before kicking clear by 2 1/2 lengths in the late going to capture Friday night's $50,000 Inaugural Stakes at Evangeline Downs.

Brother Terry covered the six furlongs in 1:10.44 over a fast track.

Trainer Fran Campitelli only intended to run All Smiles if the $50,000 Dahlia Stakes was taken off the turf. He was also hoping for something other than fast dirt, since All Smiles was 2 for 2 on wet surfaces.

Campitelli got his wish when rain washed out grass racing and turned Laurel Park's main track sloppy. All Smiles ($8.60) responded by scoring her second stakes win of the meet, rallying to take the Dahlia by a length over First Ascent. It was another 2 1/2 lengths back to British Event.

El Brujo ($3.60) won his first stakes convincingly at Woodbine in the $150,800 Achievement, an early prep for the June 21 Queen's Plate.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Forever Together picked up right where she left off. Rallying from well off a relaxed pace, the Eclipse Award-winning turf mare of 2008 swept to a convincing victory Saturday in her first race of the year, the Grade 2, $200,000 Jenny Wiley Stakes at Keeneland.

Owned by the Augustin Stable and trained by Jonathan Sheppard, Forever Together completed 1 1/16 miles in 1:46.93 over a turf course rated good. Julien Leparoux, her main jockey during her championship season, was back aboard.

Mountaineer Racetrack has rechristened one of its holiday stakes in honor of legendary trainer Dale Baird.

Baird, Thoroughbred racing's all-time leader with 9,445 victories, died in an automobile accident in December 2007. He was based at Mountaineer, and its predecessor, Waterford Park, from 1961 until his death and finished as the track's leading trainer for 20 consecutive years.

The Dale Baird Memorial Stakes, a 5 1/2-furlong event worth $75,000, was formerly known as the Mountain State. It will be part of a stakes tripleheader July 4.

OLDSMAR, Fla. - There is an air of excitement on the backstretch these days as Musket Man prepares for the Kentucky Derby after having spent the winter at Tampa Bay Downs.

Musket Man arrived with the rest of the Derek Ryan stable in late November and trained here until heading north to win the Illinois Derby.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. -- Semaphore Man's love affair with Oaklawn Park generally, and the Count Fleet Handicap specifically, continued on Friday when the popular veteran gelding tenaciously held off a late run from Greeley's Conquest to capture the Grade 3, $150,000 Count Fleet for the second straight year before a crowd of 21,782.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - When it comes to 2-year-old racing at this time of the season, almost nobody does it better than trainer Wesley Ward.

Ward also won the first two 2-year-old races decided at the Keeneland meet before finishing second behind Steve Asmussen-trained juveniles on Thursday and Friday.
