Taking the lead right at the start, Lookinforthesecret set a blistering pace, then pulled away late to post a 2 1/2-length victory in the $65,000 Pelican Stakes Saturday at Tampa Bay Downs.

Ridden by Daniel Centeno and trained by Jamie Ness, Lookingforthesecret covered the six furlongs in 1:09.30 and returned $7.40 as the second choice in the field of eight sprinters.

He's So Chic finished second, 3 3/4 lengths to the good of Its His Time, then survived a claim of foul by that one for interference after the start.

According to bettors, the $80,000 What a Summer Stakes at Laurel came down to the speed of Your Flame in Me, the 1-2 favorite, and the class of Silmaril, the 2-1 second choice.

Score one for class.

Silmaril, a graded stakes winner making the final start of her career, put in her usual strong late run under Jeremy Rose to defeat All Giving by two lengths in the six-furlong race for fillies and mares. La Chica Rica ran third, with Your Flame in Me a pop-and-stop last in the field of six.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - After back-to-back victories as a 3-year-old in the Grade 3 Herecomesthebride Stakes at Gulfstream Park and the Virginia Oaks at Colonial Downs, Aunt Henny's career couldn't have looked any brighter. Who could possibly foresee that 18 months later Aunt Henny would still be seeking her next win when she starts against five rivals Monday in a $59,500 allowance at one mile on the turf at Gulfstream.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Trainer Helen Pitts let out a big sigh of relief before breaking out into an even bigger smile following Einstein's triumphant return from an eight-month vacation on Friday. Einstein, making his first start since losing his rider during the running of the Dixie Handicap at Pimlico in May, led throughout under jockey Edgar Prado to beat a top-quality allowance field going a mile and kick off what Pitts hopes will be his best year yet.

Dancin Candy, I'monmywayhome, and High in the Air finished within a length of one another when second, third, and fourth in an open first-level allowance race at Golden Gate Dec. 28, so the slightest change in form can make a big difference as the three knock heads again at Golden Gate on Monday. This time they run in a California-bred first-level allowance and must deal with four other rivals going 1 1/16 miles for a purse of $31,000.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Midnight Lute, the leading candidate for the Eclipse Award as the nation's outstanding sprinter of 2007, will make his 2008 debut in $150,000 Palos Verdes Handicap at Santa Anita next Saturday, trainer Bob Baffert said.

Midnight Lute has not started since finishing second in the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct in November, a loss that ended a two-race winning streak comprising the Grade 1 Forego Handicap at Saratoga in August and the Breeders' Cup Sprint at Monmouth Park in October.

STICKNEY, Ill. - Tanner Riggs is nowhere near the top of a tight two-man jockey race as the Hawthorne fall-winter meet draws to a close on Sunday, but other than Tim Thornton, who is battling Chris Emigh for the riding title, no rider in Chicago has had anything close to the sort of breakout meet that Riggs has had at Hawthorne.

Keeneland Race Course has amended its spring stakes schedule, adding a $100,000 stakes race that is expected to become part of a nationwide series of races leading up to the new Breeders' Cup Marathon. As a result of adding the new stakes, Keeneland has assigned new dates to three of its other 18 stakes.

The new race is the $100,000 Fort Harrod Stakes, for older horses at 1 5/8 miles on Polytrack. The Fort Harrod will be run April 19 as a supporting feature to the Grade 2, $325,000 Coolmore Lexington Stakes.

Einstein made a successful and impressive return from an eight-month layoff, leading throughout under jockey Edgar Prado to defeat a graded-stakes-quality field in Friday's $59,500 allowance feature at Gulfstream Park.

When trainer Roger Hansen dropped Tribesman’s name into the entry box for Sunday’s opener at Golden Gate, a $40,000 classified allowance event at six furlongs, odds are he thought it would be a fairly safe spot for the 4-year-old gelding to make his return after a couple months on the bench. That’s also probably what trainer Greg Gilchrist was thinking when he popped Vicarino’s name into the race for that runner’s first start in just over a year.
