ETOBICOKE, Ontario – Maryland-based Heros Reward always gives a good account of himself when he ships north of the border, and he should be a force to be reckoned with in Sunday’s $200,000 Highlander Stakes. The six-furlong turf dash is one of two Grade 3 stakes on Woodbine’s Queen’s Plate card, along with the Singspiel.

FORT ERIE, Ontario – An error on the grandstand television odds screen occurred in the final minutes preceding the running of the eighth race on Tuesday.

With less than four minutes to post time, the No. 6 horse, Golden Quill – one of the race favorites – was suddenly listed as scratched. However, the infield tote board indicated that the horse was still in the race.

EDMONTON, Alberta - Trainer Greg Tracy has dominated the juvenile division at this meet the past two seasons and is aiming for further success by saddling two starters in the first 2-year-old race of the Alberta season on Sunday afternoon.

For the first time, there were no "baby" races at this year's spring meet at Stampede Park, because of poor weather. The late start of 2-year-old racing is a concern, as the July 9 Edmonton Juvenile and July 11 Princess Margaret are just over the horizon.

LINCOLN, Neb. - Tellin on You and Paradise Pete should vie for favoritism when eight 3-year-olds meet in the $17,500 State Fair Derby going one mile at Lincoln.

Tellin on You comes into the derby off a one-length win in the State Fair Breeders' Stakes against Nebraska-breds in his last start. He rallied from just off the pace to claim the win and has the style to take advantage of what should be a contested pace. Trainer David Anderson will have leading rider Yuri Yaranga aboard from post 7.

SHAKOPEE, Minn. - Fabulous Babe will try to defend her home turf when she faces eight invaders and a stablemate in the $50,000 Northbound Pride Stakes at Canterbury Park. The inner rail on the grass course is scheduled to be at the 20-foot setting, which will make the Northbound Pride an about-one-mile contest.

NORTH RANDALL, Ohio - Trainer Miguel Feliciano holds a strong hand in the $50,000 J. William Petro Memorial Handicap on Saturday as he will saddle three of the eight fillies and mares entered. Feliciano's three horses are owned by the Pyrite Stable but will compete as separate entities in the 1 1/16-mile stakes.

Mac N Mayo was kept just off the early pace by Scott Spieth and rallied to get up in time in the $74,250 Malvern Rose for fillies and mares at Presque Isle Thursday evening. Trained by Mike Rogers, Mac N Mayo bested the field of six by a half-length in a final time of 1.16.91 for the 6 1/2-furlong Malvern Rose. Jet Away Jane finished second under Angel Rodriquez, 1 1/4 lengths in front of Speechifying. Speechifying, under Jeremy Rose, was sent off as the 8-5 favorite and led to upper stretch before yielding late to the top two. Mac N Mayo returned $7.40

Jockey Tammi Piermarini will be sidelined indefinitely after being injured when she was unseated from her mount in Wednesday's ninth race at Suffolk Downs.

Piermarini, second at the time in the Suffolk rider standings, incurred whiplash and torn muscles in her neck. Piermarini, 41, led all jockeys at the track last year with 100 wins.

Piermarini was admitted to and treated at Boston Medical Center, with her release date uncertain.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Horses trained by Doug O'Neill began running out of a 24-hour pre-race detention barn at Hollywood Park on Thursday, ending a dispute stemming from an overage of bicarbonates found in one of his starters at Santa Anita earlier this year.

O'Neill, currently the leading trainer at the Hollywood Park meeting, had challenged the results of a test that showed that Chicks Rule, winner of a maiden claimer at Santa Anita in January, tested in excess of the permitted level of bicarbonates, or total carbon dioxide.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Sweet Vendetta, winner of the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes last month, has been purchased privately by WinStar Farm. According to Elliott Walden, WinStar's vice-president, Sweet Vendetta will remain with trainer Gary Contessa and is being pointed to the Grade 1 Alabama at Saratoga on Aug. 16.

Sweet Vendetta, a New York-bred daughter of Stephen Got Even, had been owned by Team Penney Racing and entertainer David Cassidy. She has won 3 of 7 starts and has earned $206,596.
