SAN MATEO, Calif. - Among the highlights of the final week of the spring meet at Bay Meadows is Saturday's $60,000 third leg of the Triple Play series at 1 1/4 miles.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Not Bourbon was unable to run down Stuck in Traffic when both were making their seasonal bows in the six-furlong Achievement here April 12.
But last Saturday's seven-furlong Queenston was a much different story as Not Bourbon, under his regular rider, Jono Jones, blew past Stuck in Traffic turning for home and drew off to an emphatic victory.
Trainer Roger Attfield, watching the Queenston from home while he continues his recuperation from a serious foot injury, was concerned when he saw Not Bourbon washing out on his way to the starting gate.
INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Considering the rivals that Tropic Storm has faced in recent months, the fifth race at Hollywood Park on Wednesday might be a letdown.
Since his win in an optional claimer at Santa Anita in January, Tropic Storm has been battle-tested against three proven horses.
He finished fourth to Benny the Bull in the Sunshine Millions Sprint at Gulfstream Park in late January. Benny the Bull later won the $2 million Golden Shaheen for sprinters in Dubai in March.
In a battle of unbeatens, Northern Netti smoked Dance Gal Dance by 9 1/4 lengths in the $109,300 Bouwerie Stakes for New York-bred 3-year-old fillies at Belmont Park.
The victory kept Northern Netti undefeated in three starts, while Dance Gal Dance suffered her first defeat in her fifth lifetime race.
Wins from Tough Tiz's Sis in races such as Sunday's $108,500 Hawthorne Handicap make trainer Bob Baffert think that the filly can play an important role in graded stakes for fillies and mares.
At least as long as those races do not include Zenyatta, the winner of the Apple Blossom Handicap and the division's leader.
"We'll keep her away from Zenyatta," Baffert said.
In the Grade 3 Hawthorne Handicap, Tough Tiz's Sis, carrying top weight of 121 pounds, beat six rivals for her fifth stakes win.
