Majestic Diamond, a well-regarded Southern California invader, sat back, made a run into the lane, but flattened out to finish seventh.

When entries were taken Wednesday for Saturday's $50,000 Cincinnati Trophy Stakes at Turfway, Tacky Cat appeared an unlikely starter, much less a winner.

An also-eligible in an overflow field, she needed two scratches simply to gain a starting position. But receive them she did, and Tacky Cat drew into the field.

ARCADIA, Calif. - The Pamplemousse got a gift Saturday in the Grade 3, $100,000 San Rafael Stakes at Santa Anita, and he was not about to give it back.

He held safe odds-on favorite Square Eddie to win the first two-turn graded stakes of the year for 3-year-olds pointing to the Santa Anita Derby and then the Kentucky Derby.
