HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Tiago held his ground along the inside for a head win over Heatseeker in the Grade 2, $500,000 Oaklawn Handicap on Saturday, and with the win gave his owners, Jerry and Ann Moss, his trainer, John Shirreffs, and his rider, Mike Smith, a sweep of the two richest races for older horses at Oaklawn Park. An hour earlier, the connections won the Grade 1, $500,000 Apple Blossom Handicap with Zenyatta.

"One of these races can make your year," said Jerry Moss. "To win both is quite

amazing."

After watching her Presious Passion run off to a long lead and then plummet through the field during the final quarter-mile of last month’s 1 3/8-mile Mac Diarmida Handicap, the last thing trainer Mary Hartmann wanted to see was Presious Passion open an even longer advantage when stretching out to 1 1/2 miles in Saturday’s $150,000 Pan American Handicap at Gulfstream Park.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - War Pass, last year's juvenile champion and a leading contender for the Kentucky Derby, suffered a cut on his chin on the flight from south Florida to New York, but it will not impact his starting status for Saturday's Grade 1, $750,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct.

According to trainer Nick Zito, the landing of a Tex Sutton flight Thursday afternoon at Farmingdale Airport on Long Island was a bit bumpy and War Pass hit his head on a bar where he was standing, causing a small hole in his chin from where he was bleeding.

SAN MATEO, Calif. – Bonfante set a course record with a 56.28-second clocking for five furlongs as he won his third straight California Turf Sprint at Bay Meadows on Saturday.

The race was roughly run early as Vaderator drifted in at the start, bumping Tribesman to start a chain reaction that also included Zoning In, who got squeezed back after he bumped with Midnight Cabinet.

Tribesman led by a head down the backstretch and began to increase his margin on the turn through fractions of 21.44 and 44.35 seconds and led by two lengths in the lane.

White Spar showed he is not just a dirt horse and not just a sprinter as the 3-year-old gelding captured Saturday's $45,000 Arizona Stallion Stakes at Turf Paradise.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Greg's Gold looked his best for Saturday's $200,000 Potrero Grande Handicap at Santa Anita, before the race and during the running of the Grade 2 sprint.

Sporting a leaner look deemed necessary by trainer David Hofmans, Greg's Gold ($8) outfinished arch-rival Surf Cat to win the Potrero Grande by 1 3/4 lengths, finishing 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:14.62.

"I stripped a little weight off him," Hofmans said.

Surf Cat, the 6-5 favorite, finished a length in front of third-place El Roblar in the field of six.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Bruce Levine enjoyed his best day as a trainer Saturday at Aqueduct, winning two graded stakes, including the Grade 1 Carter Handicap when Bustin Stones led gate to wire to beat longshot Executive Fleet by a half-length.

It was a neck back to Premium Wine in third. Lord Snowdon finished fourth and was followed in the order of finish by Not for Money, King of the Roxy, Ryan's for Real, the 6-5 favorite Spring at Last, and City Attraction.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Zenyatta continued her quick ascent up the filly and mare ranks on Saturday, when she upset champion Ginger Punch in the Grade 1, $500,000 Apple Blossom Handicap to remain undefeated in four career starts. Brownie Points rallied for second, finishing 4 1/2 lengths behind the winner. It was another 3 1/2 lengths back in third to 2-5 favorite Ginger Punch.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Colonel John asserted his position as the best of the West Coast's Kentucky Derby prospects on Saturday, when he overcame traffic on the final turn and roared down the stretch to take the Grade 1, $750,000 Santa Anita Derby.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - War Pass rebounded from his last-place finish in the Tampa Bay Derby, but Tale of Ekati did him just a little better, catching War Pass with about 20 yards to go to win Saturday's Grade 1, $750,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct by a half-length.

War Pass, who was pressed through the opening half-mile by Inner Light - acting as a rabbit for stablemate Court Vision - held second by 1 1/4 lengths over Court Vision. It was a neck back to Giant Moon, who was followed in the order of finish by Anak Nakal, Spurrier, Roman Emperor, Texas Wildcatter, and Inner Light.
