The prospect of a Triple Crown on Saturday once again resulted in huge increases in business for Belmont Park compared with the previous year, but the numbers posted for Big Brown's failed attempt were nowhere near the last Triple Crown bid in 2004.

Attendance on a warm and muggy Saturday was 94,476, a 101.8 percent increase over the crowd last year, when a Triple Crown was not on the line. The attendance figure, however, was more than 25,000 short of the record posted in 2004 for Smarty Jones's failed bid, when a crowd of 120,139 showed up under cloudy skies.

Miss Missile ran to her 3-20 odds, widening her lead at every call in a 9 3/4-length victory in the $50,000 Chantilly at Assiniboia Downs.

Rohan Singh rode Miss Missile ($2.30), who is trained by Charles Smith and was clocked in 1:11 for six furlongs. Lunacat was second in a race that had just four 3-year-old fillies.

Victorina took command in the upper stretch and cruised to a 1 3/4-length victory over the fast-finishing Beaulena in the $50,000 Washington State Legislators Handicap for fillies and mares at Emerald Downs.

Victorina ($6.40), from the barn of California trainer Greg Gilchrist, got the 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:15.40 under Kevin Radke, who had five winners on the card.

Mr. Umphrey ($5.40) held off Maddy's Lion by a half-length to win the $70,000 Longfellow Stakes at Monmouth Park.

Ridden by Eddie Castro, Mr. Umphrey challenged pacesetter Praying for Cash nearing the quarter pole, drew well clear in deep stretch, and had enough left to withstand a late bid by Maddy's Lion. Callmetony, the 6-5 favorite, was third. Mr. Umphrey, trained by Rick Dutrow, ran six furlongs in 1:09.41.

Crawling on the front end of the 1 3/8-mile, $75,000 Yerba Buena Stakes at Golden Gate Fields, Wild Promises ($5.20) won her second straight stakes. Coming off a win in the Mother's Day Handicap at Bay Meadows, Wild Promises went wire to wire in the Yerba Buena, setting fractions of 26.00, 51.25, 1:17.34, and 1:42.17 before finishing in 2:17.28, defeating favored Solva by 1 1/2 lengths in the turf race, with Model third.

"She relaxed good, and that was what won the race," winning jockey David Lopez said.

A Wild Event filly, Wild Promises is trained by Greg Gilchrist.

Lethal Heat beat five rivals in Sunday's $157,600 Hollywood Oaks at Hollywood Park. Through the final quarter-mile, she had to turn back challenges from three of them.

Lethal Heat ($6.60) won by a head over Smooth Performer, who finished a nose in front of Tasha's Miracle. All three appeared as if they could win in the final strides. Ridden by Joe Talamo, Lethal Heat stalked longshot pacesetter Gambler's Justice before taking over in early stretch. Talamo had Lethal Heat a head in front of Tasha's Miracle at the eighth pole and vigorously rode Lethal Heat to the finish.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Pays to Dream suffered a fractured sesamoid in his right front leg while finishing third in Saturday's Grade 1 Manhattan Handicap and has been retired from racing, trainer David Donk said Monday.

Donk said that while the injury is career-ending, it's not life-threatening, and the 4-year-old New York-bred gelding will likely make a riding or an event horse someday.

"As a rule sesamoids don't heal enough to withstand racing," Donk said.

ALBANY, Calif. - Trainer Greg Gilchrist has a way with the girls.

It started with Soviet Problem and Work the Crowd, a pair of California champions. Last Friday, he brought the undefeated 3-year-old filly Indyanne back from nine months on the sidelines to win her comeback against older by seven lengths, running 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:03.57.

Tellin On You ($7.60) collected his second career stakes victory by defeating Johnny Five by a length in the $20,700 State Fair Breeders' Special at Lincoln on Saturday afternoon.

Tellin On You settled back off the pace set by 3-5 favorite Ittakestwobaby and Johnny Five, then finished up with a good late run to collar those two and edge clear in 1:42.40 for the mile over a fast track. Johnny Five held on for second as Ittakestwobaby faded back to fourth. Tellin On You was ridden by Yuri Yaranga for trainer David Anderson.

Undeterred when the race was switched from turf to the main track, Prospective Kiss ($4.80) scored by three lengths in the $50,000 Brooks Fields Stakes at Canterbury Park on Saturday.

Heavy rain earlier in the week forced track officials to transfer the Brooks Fields from its scheduled running on the turf course to a one-mile race on the main track, which was listed fast. The surface switch reduced the field to six runners, with Prospective Kiss the 7-5 favorite.
