Song of Navarone's homecoming was a winning one. In his first start at Sunland Park since capturing the $600,000 WinStar Derby in 2007, he was persistent for a three-quarter-length win over Quiet Again in the $50,000 Winsham Lad Handicap on Saturday. It was another half-length back in third to Tricky Causeway.

ARCADIA, Calif. - The versatile Cowboy Cal has won three stakes on turf, placed in a Grade 1 on the main track and was well-regarded enough to start in the 2008 Kentucky Derby.

Saturday, he further added to his list of accomplishments by winning his first stakes on the main track in the $150,000 San Pasqual Handicap on Santa Anita's Pro-Ride synthetic surface.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - There will be a $239,658 pick-six carryover entering Sunday's card at Aqueduct after the wager went unhit for a third consecutive day.

The carryover was assured when Justin P ($43.80) stormed to victory from last place in Aqueduct's ninth race Saturday. His victory came one race after Pumpkin Shell ($26.80) rallied from last to win the Busanda Stakes for 3-year-old fillies.

The pick-six had gone unhit Thursday and Friday as well. There was a carryover of $91,373 entering Saturday's card. The consolation payout Saturday for 5 of 6 was $3,411.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Usually, when jockey Chuck Lopez wins a race, neither his face nor his silks has a speck of dirt on it. But the 48-year-old journeyman rider, known for his skill as a speed rider, was more than happy to be covered in Aqueduct sand and loam Saturday after guiding Pumpkin Shell to a one-length, last-to-first victory in the $72,020 Busanda Stakes at Aqueduct.

"It's never my choice," Lopez said when asked about winning a race from last, but that every time he rode a horse for trainer David Donk "I get dirty."

Trainer Amy Tarrant was using Saturday's $100,000 Fort Lauderdale as a prep for her main goal this winter with Kiss the Kid, the Grade 1 Gulfstream Park Turf on Feb. 23. What a prep it was.

Kiss the Kid rallied from just off the pace to register a neck victory over fellow longshots Society's Chairman and A. P. Magic in the 1o1/16-mile Fort Lauderdale. Buffalo Man, the 5-2 favorite, was never a serious factor, checking home a disappointing eighth in the field of 11 turf specialists.

NEW ORLEANS - Nobody was keeping up with the Joneses on Saturday at Fair Grounds.

Larry Jones-trained Friesan Fire rebounded from an odds-on allowance defeat here to win the Grade 3, $100,000 Lecomte Stakes by 1 1/2 lengths, and a race earlier, Just Jenda, trained by Jones and owned by his wife, Cindi, captured the $75,000 Tiffany Lass.

NEW ORLEANS - French Beret scored a repeat victory in Saturday's Grade 3 Col. E.R. Bradley by putting his nose in front of Golden Yank at the wire.

The $100,000 Bradley was one of two Grade 3's on the six-stakes card.

French Beret, ridden by James Graham, went 1 1/16 miles in 1:44.98 over a turf course rated as good, and paid $6.40 to win as the favorite while winning for the first time since taking this same race a year ago. He rated off the early pace, and came out just in front after dueling with Golden Yank down the stretch.

Capitalizing on a taxing pace set by Pola's Place, Proud Heiress scored a stunning come-from-behind victory at 32-1 odds in the $50,000 Wishing Well Stakes at Turfway Park.

The least experienced of the 12 starters and a mare still eligible for a second-level allowance, Proud Heiress ($67.80) ran like a seasoned stakes horse in the Wishing Well. She settled farther off the pace than accustomed under jockey Julio Felix, racing in eighth early, eight lengths off the pace.

Access Fee ($3.60) remained unbeaten in the four starts she has made at her home track when she cruised to a 4 3/4-length score in the $50,000 What a Summer Stakes at Laurel Park.

A 4-year-old daughter of Menifee owned by Sondra Bender and trained by Larry Murray, Access Fee sprinted to the front under her regular rider, Jose Caraballo, and was never seriously challenged while completing six furlongs on a fast track in 1:10.31.

Blind River Fox ($25.20) notched his 22nd career victory when he ran down Ruby's Red Socks in the final strides for a neck victory in the $65,000 Pelican Stakes before 3,862 fans at Tampa Bay Downs.

Under a well-judged ride by Willie Martinez, the 7-year-old Blind River Fox sat off a torrid pace set by Ruby's Red Socks of 22.17 and 44:50 seconds, then went after the leader in the stretch and gamely wore down his rival.

Duke's Flying Tiger finished third, 1 3/4 lengths farther back. The favorite, Bold Start, finished sixth.
