CINCINNATI – Formal Arrangement, under jockey Andrew Ramgeet, took control entering the stretch and held off a game Part Girlie Girl to prevail by one length in the $50,000 Tomboy for Ohio-bred 3-year-old fillies at River Downs. The 1 1/16-mile race was scheduled for turf but run on the main track.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - It's safe to say that Polonius has found a home on turf. Saturday at Hollywood Park, Polonius won his second stakes on grass, and first graded stakes, in the $106,800 Will Rogers Stakes for 3-year-olds.

Ridden by Jon Court, Polonius led throughout, holding off a late run from Indian Sun to win the Grade 3 race over a mile by a half-length. Polonius ($5.40) was timed in 1:34.95.

"Our horse had never had to work so hard," said trainer Mike Pender, who won his first graded stakes in the Will Rogers.

BALTIMORE - Pays to Dream overcame a soft Pimlico turf course and a pedestrian pace with an electrifying stretch kick that carried him to an emphatic 7 1/2-length victory in Saturday's Grade 2, $250,000 Dixie Stakes.

Stay Close, who stalked the longshot pacesetter Ra Der Dean, finished second by a head over Ra Der Dean. He was followed in the order of finish by Distorted Reality, even-money favorite Shakis, Pick Six, Headsandtales, Buffalo Man, and Salinja.

Lantana Mob ($5.60), a two-time stakes winner at 2, stayed perfect as a 3-year-old when pushing past Silver Edition in the desperate final yards to win as a popular favorite in the $100,000 Hirsch Jacobs Stakes on the Preakness undercard.

With Robby Albarado riding for trainer Steve Asmussen, Lantana Mob moved up steadily after laying back as far as sixth in the early stages of the six-furlong Hirsch Jacobs, then launched his winning bid when farthest outside. He won by a neck after finishing in 1:09.10 over a fast track.

Roman Emperor was so uncomfortable in Pimlico's enclosed saddling paddock on Saturday that his trainer, Steve Klesaris, took the lead shank and walked the colt to try and calm him down. Once Klesaris took Roman Emperor onto the track, the trainer was relieved.

"He just doesn't like enclosed spaces," Klesaris said after he handed off Roman Emperor to the outrider.

The prerace anxiety melted away minutes later. Roman Emperor, given a heads-up ride by jockey Jeremy Rose, wore down Da' Tara and captured the $100,000 Barbaro Stakes for 3-year-olds.

Heros Reward fought back after being passed in the stretch by True to Tradition to edge that rival in Saturday's $100,000 Old Mutual Turf Sprint Stakes at Pimlico, but he had to withstand claims of foul by the jockeys of the runner-up and third-place finisher to keep his narrow victory.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Sir Gallovic, who edged out True Metropolitan in the Grade 3 Premiers last October, will probably make his 2008 debut in a race that was specifically written to exclude True Metropolitan.

BALTIMORE – Roshani, under John Velazquez, fended off a midstretch challenge from Lady Digby and then withstood a stewards’ inquiry and jockey’s objection to win the Grade 3, $100,000 Gallorette Handicap by a half-length Saturday at Pimlico.

Lady Digby finished second by 4 1/2 lengths over Valbenny. Stormy West and Le Cordon Blue completed the order of finish. Debbie Sue and Saint Pegasus scratched.

Roshani stalked Le Cordon Bleu through pedestrian fractions of 25.41 seconds and 50.28 before taking over midway around the far turn and running three-quarters in 1:15.09.

Starforaday earned his second straight victory following a six-month layoff by rallying to capture the Grade 3, $100,000 Maryland Sprint Handicap on Saturday at Pimlico Race Course.

Starforaday ($8.20), the third choice, was last in the five-horse field after a quarter-mile, but closed furiously down the center of the track to reel in Suave Jazz and pacesetter Cognac Kisses nearing the wire. He won by a neck, with Suave Jazz a neck in front of third-place Cognac Kisses, the 6-5 favorite.

BALTIMORE – Although not previously known as being very effective coming from off the pace, Akronism persevered for the length of the stretch and managed to reel in My Sister Sue to win Saturday’s $75,000 Skipat Stakes at Pimlico.
