What a Pear remained undefeated from four starts with her most impressive performance to date, a dominating 10 1/4-length victory in Sunday's $70,330 Busher Stakes at Aqueduct.

Receiving a ground-saving trip from Channing Hill, What a Pear bided her time in third position before launching a bid at the three-eighths pole and quickly inhaling the pacesetting My Anguilla by the quarter pole. Turning for home, it was only a matter of the margin as Hill hit What a Pear just once right-handed before taking her in hand the last 50 yards.

There are eight races on Wednesday, with first post time at 1 p.m. Pacific. The pick six begins on the third race, with a post time of approximately 2 p.m.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla.- Trainer Tom Albertrani hasn't been going directly from the paddock to the winner's circle after saddling horses in stakes races here this winter. But it might not be a bad idea with the success he's had during the opening seven weeks of the meet.

Albertrani posted his fourth stakes victory of the 2009 Gulfstream session when Criticism set a dawdling pace before cruising to an easy 2 1/2-length victory over Dress Rehearsal in Sunday's $100,000 The Very One Stakes for fillies and mares on the turf.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. - Tonight Rainbow fired his best shot when it counted, easing outside dueling rivals leaving the turn and wearing down Wham for a three-quarter-length victory in Saturday's $10,000-added Grasmick Stakes at Fonner Park.

Mayor Marv, a Southern California raider who had faced some of the best of his class, proved too much in Saturday's $100,000 Turf Paradise Derby as the 3-year-old son of Distorted Humor led all the way to win. Owned by Michael Pegram and trained by Bob Baffert, Mayor Marv broke alertly in the 1 1/16-mile event, was able to control the pace under David Flores, and then spurted clear in the lane to win easily by 4 1/2 lengths. Hidden Bounty, the local kingpin of the division, chased throughout to be a game second.

Walloon gave breeder-owner Donamire Farm and trainer K.K. Ball their second stakes winner this month at Turfway Park when rallying to victory in Saturday's $50,000 Valdale Stakes in Florence, Ky.

With Hector Rosario Jr. aboard, Walloon tracked the pace before drawing clear to prevail by 3 1/4 lengths over She's Due in a field of 10 3-year-old fillies. Satans Quick Chick finished third, while Tacky Cat, the 3-2 favorite, faded to fifth after forcing the pace to midstretch.

Hello Poochi Pooh handled a rise in class and a stretch-out from seven furlongs to 1 1/8 miles with ease at Laurel Park on Saturday, leading every step in the $50,000 Maryland Racing Media Handicap.

Erick Rodriguez put Hello Poochi Pooh in front out of the gate and they led by 3 1/2 lengths after a quarter-mile, three at the half, five at the stretch call, and a geared-down 2 3/4 at the wire.

Swinging six wide out of the second turn, Victory Alleged closed with a rush along the far outside through the final furlong to post a stunning victory Saturday in the $150,000 Tampa Bay Breeders' Cup Stakes.

Ridden by Carlos Marquez Jr., Victory Alleged returned a whopping $58 while making his first start of 2009. The 8-year-old finished a neck to the good of Classic Campaign, with favored Society's Chairman a nose farther back after leading into the final furlong. It was another two lengths back to Atoned, who was making his turf debut.

Palanka City turned the tables on frequent rival Rated Fiesty in the $50,000 Spring Fever at Oaklawn Park on Saturday, when she rallied for a 1 1/2-length win over that rival in the 5 1/2-furlong race for fillies and mares. It was another 3 3/4 lengths back in third to Temple Street.

Palanka City was the 6-5 favorite in the Spring Fever, one race after she was beaten a head by Rated Fiesty in the $50,000 American Beauty. The fillies put in a spirited duel in that race, and again met inside the final furlong on Saturday.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Presious Passion set an extremely fast pace, opened a long lead, but beat only one horse in the 2008 Mac Diarmida, and Saturday's renewal of the Grade 3 turf marathon at Gulfstream Park appeared to be shaping up as a carbon copy of that race.

But instead of folding after posting rapid fractions and leaving the competition far behind in the early stages of the 1 3/8-mile Mac Diarmida, Presious Passion found enough in reserve this time to hang on for a courageous half-length win over Quasicobra and the 2-1 favorite, Spice Route.
