It was Grade 1-caliber shipper Obrigado who drew all the attention before Sunday's $50,000 Wildcat Handicap at Turf Paradise, but it was the up-and-coming Allegre who got all the plaudits after the 1 3/8-mile turf race as he posted a powerful victory.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Rachel Alexandra established herself as the probable favorite for next month's Kentucky Oaks with a cruising, 8 3/4-length win in the Grade 2, $250,000 Fantasy at Oaklawn Park on Sunday. The score came one day after champion Stardom Bound was upset in the Grade 1 Ashland at Keeneland.
The Fantasy was the fourth consecutive stakes win for Rachel Alexandra, and as the 1-9 favorite in a five-horse field she created a $3,382 minus win pool and a $227,722 minus place pool. There was no show wagering in the Fantasy.
ARCADIA, Calif. - The three-race winning streak Sweet August Moon has compiled at Santa Anita this year has taken her career to new heights.
She won her first stakes in the Honest Lady Stakes last month and her first graded stakes in Sunday's $100,000 Las Flores Handicap, a Grade 3 for fillies and mares at 6 1/2 furlongs.
Ridden by Aaron Gryder, Sweet August Moon ($8.20) won by 1 1/4 lengths over Foxy Danseur, who finished a head in front of 4-5 favorite High Resolve.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. - The winter storm that has socked the Midwest resulted in Fonner Park canceling its live program on Sunday. Although only about two inches of snow fell in Grand Island, sustained winds of well over 30 miles per hour and blowing snow forced management to cancel the card early Sunday morning with travel conditions worsening.
GRAND ISLAND, Neb. - The Nutz left no doubt where his next start will come after a dominant 3 3/4-length win in the $20,000 Dowd Mile Stakes at Fonner Park on Saturday afternoon.
The reigning champion of the meet's biggest race, The Nutz tuned up for his appearance in the $75,000 Bosselman/Gus Fonner Stakes on April 25 by easily shaking off his rivals through the final turn to take command in upper stretch.
A ruling issued Sunday afternoon by the Oaklawn Park board of stewards that strips the horse Coyotepass from his win in a March 8 race because of a medication positive will have an impact on jockey Tim Doocy's career win count.
Doocy, who rode the horse, had reached 5,000 career victories in the 11th race Saturday at Oaklawn, but with the ruling issued Sunday his count officially stood at 4,999 entering the card, according to Equibase representative Jeff Taylor. The ruling has not yet been appealed, stewards said on Sunday.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - It's a Bird became a millionaire on Saturday, when he rolled to a six-length win over Southern California invader Runforthedoe in the Grade 2, $500,000 Oaklawn Handicap. It was owner Edmund Gann's third win in the mile and an eighth race, which he captured in 2003 with Medaglia d'Oro and in 2004 with Peace Rules.
It's a Bird ($6) broke well and stalked pacesetter Jonesboro through fractions of 23.37, 46.72, and 1:10.62. It's a Bird overtook the leader in the stretch and powered home to cover the distance on a fast track 1:48.96.
OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Aqueduct's homestretch is 1,155 feet long, and Kodiak Kowboy ($5.80) needed all of them to run down a determined Fabulous Strike in Saturday's Grade 1, $300,000 Carter Handicap.
Making his second start as a 4-year-old for trainer Larry Jones, Kodiak Kowboy was next to last in the early going, as Fabulous Strike set fractions of 22.23 and 44.52 seconds under pressure from Driven by Success.
