MIAMI - Saturday's Florida Million card features several promising and exciting 2-year-olds, such as Wise Answer, Smoke'n Coal, and High Resolve. But it is the elder statesman Revved Up who deserves top billing on the 12-race program, which includes eight statebred stakes worth a total of $1.2 million in prize money.

Lethal Grande, the richest Oregon-bred ever, was euthanized after fracturing both sesamoid bones in his left front leg while racing at Portland Meadows on Monday. He was 8.

Regular rider Joe Crispin managed to keep Lethal Grande on his feet while pulling him up, but his injuries were deemed irreparable and he was put down about an hour after his accident.

Lethal Grande, who began his career racing for the late breeder and trainer Pat Sonnen, won 26 of 80 starts, including six local stakes, for earnings of $409,788.

ARCADIA, Calif. - The Oak Tree at Santa Anita meeting ended on Sunday with gains in all-sources handle, but a decline in ontrack attendance and handle, according to a statement released by the racetrack.

The all-sources handle at the 31-day meeting, including simulcasts, rose 9 percent, out-of-state handle rose 18 percent, and interstate handle at satellite locations within California rose 5 percent. The track did not release more specific figures. Last year, the Oak Tree meeting had an all-sources average handle of $7,878,480.

When Golden Gate Fields opens on Wednesday to join the synthetic surface racing revolution that has literally altered the landscape of California racing, it will become the fourth track in the state to race on a synthetic surface. And of those four tracks, three different surfaces are in use, with Golden Gate choosing Tapeta.

ALBANY, Calif. - Northern California's most anticipated race meeting in years opens Wednesday at Golden Gate Fields. This will be the first meeting there to be run on a synthetic surface, which has won raves from trainers who have seen their horses work on it for the past month. The meeting ends Dec. 22.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Hollywood Park is open for racing Wednesday. The simple fact is taken for granted every fall when the Southern California circuit makes its final stop on the calendar, and the $1.75 million Turf Festival offers much of the best grass racing of the year.

But the 2007 fall meet begins with ambiguity. The fate of the track is uncertain beyond its allotted 2008 fall dates because the track's owner - Bay Meadows Land Co. - has not committed to racing in 2009.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - The live mutuel handle was down significantly at the 2007 Hastings meet that concluded Sunday.

Total live handle from all sources was $49,724,506, which represents a 26.7 percent decline over last year's total of $67,916,866.

The daily average live handle of $731,242 was down 16 percent from $870,729 in 2006.

Ontrack live handle was down 22.5 percent. Total ontrack handle was $17,893,206, compared with $23,084,280 in 2006.

Sugar Shake couldn't make the lead early, but she had no problem finding the front at the finish, as she cruised to a two-length victory in Sunday's Grade 3, $105,300 Turnback the Alarm Handicap at Aqueduct.

Cindy's Mom, well back early, rallied to be second, four lengths ahead of Victory Pool. Altesse, the 9-5 favorite, was eased after jockey John Velazquez's left rein broke early on down the backstretch.

The victory was the third from six starts this year for Sugar Shake, a 4-year-old daughter of Awesome Again owned by Frank Stronach and trained by Bobby Frankel.

Naissance Royale gave jockey Garrett Gomez his 69th stakes win of the year in Sunday's $150,000 Las Palmas Handicap at the Oak Tree at Santa Anita meeting, leaving the 35-year-old jockey one stakes win shy of tying the single-season record set by Jerry Bailey in 2003.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Seven years after quitting as head trainer for Ernie Paragallo's Paraneck Stable, Louis Albertrani has returned to that position. He starts his first two horses for Paraneck on Wednesday at Aqueduct.

"I'm just so excited to be back," Albertrani said Monday outside Aqueduct's Barn 6. "I'm very grateful that Ernie's given me another opportunity to train for him again."
