LOUISVILLE, Ky. - As good a fall meet as Mike Maker and Ken McPeek enjoyed at Keeneland, it looks like Churchill Downs will be even better for both.

Maker won his first Keeneland training title with nine winners, beating McPeek by one. And when Churchill opened its 26-day fall meet Sunday, both men came out with guns blazing: McPeek sent out four winners on the 11-race card, while Maker countered with three.

"I've won three races in a day multiple times," McPeek said. "But this was the first time for four. We're having a lot of fun."

All-sources wagering was down more than 17 percent from corresponding 2007 dates at the 17-day fall meet that ended Saturday at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky. Total wagering was more than $115.6 million, down substantially from the nearly $140 million wagered last fall.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Trainer Rob Gilker capped off a big weekend with a win by Tommy Danzigger in the $107,674 Ascot Graduation for 2-year-old colts and geldings at Hastings on Sunday.

Gilker also won the $108,134 Fantasy Stakes for 2-year-old fillies on Saturday with Fashionable Affair. The 1 1/16-mile Ascot and Fantasy are the only middle-distance stakes races for 2-year-olds at Hastings.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Jockey Frank Fuentes won his fourth straight $100,000 stakes race at Hastings, taking the $108,134 Fantasy Stakes aboard Fashionable Affair on Saturday.

Fuentes’s streak began with the Jack Diamond Futurity on Oct. 5. His next two wins in races worth $100,000 or more were in the Grade 3 Ballerina and Grade 3 Premiers.

Favored Victorina ($5) scored her first victory around two turns, rallying strongly to win the $51,950 Marina Stakes at one mile Sunday at Golden Gate Fields.

A multiple stakes winner, Victorina was content to sit in a perfect midpack stalking position behind Unspoken Word. She moved three wide on the second turn and put her head in front in the lane, continuing strongly under a vigorous ride by William Antongeorgi to defeat the game Unspoken Word by three-quarters of a length in 1:37.32. Vanguarda was third another length back.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Magna Graduate flaunted his class when overhauling Greeley's Conquest inside the eighth pole and powering away to a 2 1/4-length triumph Sunday in the Grade 3 Ack Ack Handicap, the opening-day highlight at the 26-day Churchill Downs fall meet.

ARCADIA, Calif.-Into Mischief returned from a layoff of more than eight months to win the $113,800 Damascus Stakes at Santa Anita on Saturday, the race after the Breeders' Cup Classic.

Into Mischief ($8.80) overcame a spot of trouble in early stretch to win the seven-furlong Damascus Stakes by two lengths over 13-1 Dancing in Silks. Hatta Fort, a 9-1 chance, finished third, with Georgie Boy, the 7-5 favorite, fourth.

Southern California raider Kalgoorlie, making his first start since February, proved victorious in Saturday's $50,000 Walter R. Cluer Handicap at Turf Paradise.

Speed and back-class proved dangerous at a big price Saturday when Ball Four led every step of a spill-marred 50th running of the Grade 3 Fayette Stakes, the closing-day feature of the 17-day fall meet at Keeneland.

Ball Four, a 7-year-old Grand Slam gelding who had raced just once in the last 19-plus months, went wire to wire under Julio Garcia, returning $44.40. Dominican rallied late to finish second, 1 1/4 lengths behind the winner and another 1 1/4 lengths before Stream Cat.

Of the two uncoupled horses trainer Scott Lake ran in the $50,000 Mister Diz Stakes at Laurel Park, bettors liked Cayman Condo a lot better than Lycurgus.

But as so often happens in this situation, the longer-priced horse outperformed his stablemate.

Lycurgus ($17.40), returning to dirt after eight consecutive starts on turf or Polytrack, came from slightly off the pace to take the lead in the stretch, then held off the 8-year-old Saay Mi Name by a length to win the off-the-turf Mister Diz, which was contested over a muddy strip.
