OZONE PARK, N.Y. - There will be a pick 6 carryover of $118,054 entering Saturday's card at Aqueduct.

There was a carryover of $28,557 entering Friday's card, but the combination of Devil's Squeeze ($27.60) and Them There Eyes ($25.60) knocked out the majority of tickets. There were six live tickets - to four horses - entering the final leg of Friday's wager, but none with Sax in the City, who rallied to win at $15.80. There was one live ticket to third-place finisher Capote's Princess.

PORTLAND, Ore. - The filly and mare division at Portland Meadows will begin to sort itself out in Sunday's $20,000 Diane Kem Handicap at six furlongs, and it will be especially interesting to see how the 3-year-olds in the lineup fare against their elders.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - No matter what transpires here in Sunday's $125,000 Jammed Lovely Stakes, the 2007 Woodbine meeting will have been a memorable one for trainer Ian Black.

"It's been a wonderful year," said Black, 64, who left his longtime position as farm manager at Kinghaven to take up a training career in 2005.

Mike Fox, a homebred 3-year-old colt who races for D. Morgan Firestone, tops Black's highlight reel with his victory in the $1 million Queen's Plate at 1 1/4 miles.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Mark Guidry said he recently came to terms with a decision that was inevitable. For 32 years, Guidry has been riding racehorses for a living, but when he dismounts Saturday from Bel Air Beauty in the Mrs. Revere Stakes at Churchill Downs, he will have ridden his last race.

"This has been tearing me up for the last week, but when I decided that it was time, I feel much better," Guidry said earlier this week. "I think it is just time. I had a great career."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Trouble just seems to find Hucking Hot, a filly who starts in Saturday's $65,000 Audrey Skirball Kenis Stakes at Hollywood Park.

She beat maidens in England despite nearly falling in June 2006. She threw a tantrum before the start of the Hidden Light Stakes at Santa Anita in October 2006 and still won. In the Grade 1 Hollywood Starlet Stakes last December, she was stuck in traffic and finished a respectable fourth.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - On Nov. 3 last year, Tell It As It Is was finishing last of five in the one-mile Tempted Stakes at Aqueduct.

On Saturday, the time of year will be similar but Tell It As It Is will be looking to relate a much happier ending when she faces 11 rivals at Woodbine in the $175,000 Maple Leaf, a 1 1/4-mile race for fillies and mares.

Tell It As It Is, a Kentucky-bred 3-year-old, had launched her career here last Sept. 23 with a last-to-first maiden victory at seven furlongs.

Total handle on Delaware Park's 2007 live races declined 6.8 percent this year, according to figures the track released Thursday. The all-sources handle averaged $1,576,146 daily, compared with $1,691,582 for the 2006 meet, also 135 days.

Bill Fasy, Delaware's chief operating officer, blamed the drop on small fields and fewer live races. Delaware averaged 6.8 starters per race in 2007.

"We believe there are an insufficient number of horses in the mid-Atlantic area to support the number of live race days throughout the region," Fasy said.

Despite an increase in ontrack business, the total handle at the Bay Meadows meeting that ended Sunday declined 16 percent from similar dates in 2006.

Ontrack handle at the 52-day meet, including wagers on live Bay Meadows races and imported simulcasts, averaged $599,528 daily, up 11 percent from the $541,319 for 52 late-summer and fall dates in Northern California last year. (The 2006 dates were divided between Bay Meadows and Golden Gate Fields.)

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - With the postponement of the Long Island Handicap from Nov. 3 to Sunday, trainer Bobby Frankel has elected to enter Barancella in the Grade 3 race for fillies and mares scheduled for 1 1/2 miles on Aqueduct's turf course.

Barancella, who finished third in the Grade 1 E.P. Taylor at Woodbine on Oct. 21, was not among the seven horses entered when the race was drawn Nov. 1. The Nov. 3 card was canceled, however, when the jockeys refused to ride, citing potentially dangerous wind gusts.

A big payday awaits the 2-year-old Massachusetts-bred maidens in Saturday's $45,000 Norman Hall Stakes on closing day at Suffolk Downs.

The seven colts and geldings are fortunate last Saturday's Amelia Peabody Stakes for fillies was postponed to Wednesday because of high winds, because that race's easy winner, Considering, isn't likely to wheel back on three days' rest for this week's dance.
