SAN MATEO, Calif. - Four jockeys were unseated in a chain-reaction incident in Saturday's fifth race at Bay Meadows after Little G Man fell on the far turn after apparently clipping heels with Latin.

David Lopez, the rider of Little G Man, and Luis Martinez, rider of Knoblock, both suffered broken ribs in the spill but were released after being examined at Stanford Hospital after the accident.

Lopez had a bruise on his right thigh, a fractured rib on his right side and a slight concussion. Martinez suffered a broken rib and a slight fracture in his back.

OLDSMAR Fla. - Three young runners who figure to be part of the Florida Cup Day program at Tampa Bay Downs on April 6 took important steps in their careers this past week.

Last Tuesday, trainer Tom Proctor sent out Tight Precision to win a seven-furlong maiden special weight race. She stalked the leaders under the confident handling of Jose Velez Jr., then pulled away with a flourish through the final furlong to be eight lengths clear of the field, earning an 86 Beyer Speed Figure.

NEW ORLEANS - On her third try, Proud Spell figured out Indian Blessing, coming home 2 1/2 lengths in front of her previously unbeaten rival on Saturday in the Grade 2, $400,000 Fair Grounds Oaks.

The victory improved Proud Spell's record to four victories from six races, and avenged the only two losses of her career, and set her up as one of the favorites for the Kentucky Oaks.

Trained by Larry Jones and ridden by Gabriel Saez, Proud Spell covered the race's 1 1/16 miles in 1:44.01, and paid $5.80 to win as the second favorite.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Sir Greeley made a triumphant homecoming Saturday, rallying along the rail and running past Man of Danger inside the eighth pole to win the Grade 3, $106,200 Toboggan Handicap by three-quarters of a length at sloppy Aqueduct.

It was 1 3/4 lengths back to Ravalo in third. Bold Start and Santana Strings completed the order of finish.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - As Commentator approached the finish line well clear of his five outclassed rivals in Saturday's $200,000 Richter Scale Handicap, track announcer Larry Colmus proclaimed, "Here comes Commentator, the fastest horse in America."

"Not only is that plausible, it has the added advantage of maybe being true," trainer Nick Zito said when asked to respond to Colmus's statement.

NEW ORLEANS - Circular Quay sure likes it way down yonder in Louisiana. Returning to the scene of his lone victory of 2007, Circular Quay on Saturday ended a four-race losing streak by upsetting heavily favored Grasshopper in a thrilling, bizarre running of the Grade 2, $500,000 New Orleans Handicap at Fair Grounds.

The race was thrilling in that Circular Quay and Grasshopper battled the length of the demanding Fair Grounds stretch before Circular Quay won by a neck.

PORTLAND, Ore. - Brave Hearted has been in razor-sharp form since this meeting began in October, posting three wins, two seconds, and a third from six tries against the best older horses on the grounds. Trainer Eulia Bischoff only hopes he can retain that form in Monday's 41st running of the $30,000-added Portland Meadows Mile.

When Proudinsky closed with a rush to finish second by a nose in the 2006 Arlington Classic, he looked like a comer among North American grass horses. He had been imported from Germany for that race, and it seemed obvious he could run, but it has taken many months for Proudinsky to really follow through on that Arlington teaser.

He did so Saturday at Fair Grounds, scoring the best win of his career in the $500,000 Mervin Muniz Handicap.

NEW ORLEANS - Pyro, displaying the handiness and explosiveness that carried him to victory in last month's Risen Star Stakes, again weaved his way through traffic on Saturday at Fair Grounds to capture the Grade 2, $600,000 Louisiana Derby, a race in which his performance was about the only expected result.

Wayzata Bay ($37.40) dueled with stubborn pacesetter Riversrunrylee until deep stretch, then edged clear to post a 1 1/4-length upset in the $65,000 Challenger Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs.

Under a solid ride by Luis Gonzalez, who bounced back after being unseated in the stretch run of the fifth race, Wayzata Bay saved ground much of the way as Riversrunrylee set a solid pace while well removed from the inner rail. Wayzata Bay challenged the leader from the inside in the stretch, then slowly took control.
