SAN MATEO, Calif. - Putmeinyourwill ($9) got first run on favored Heroi Do Bafra and held him off by a neck to win the $61,800 Seabiscuit Handicap on Saturday at Bay Meadows.
The favored Heroi Do Bafra was content to sit in midpack early before unleashing a strong but belated run. He couldn't quite catch the winner on the speed favoring track as he followed his rival's path into lane.
Putmeinyourwill saved ground, then moved out for room circling three wide on the second turn of the 1 1/16-mile turf race.

ARCADIA, Calif. - There is a pick six carryover of $590,499 on Sunday at Santa Anita. Because it is closing day of the Oak Tree meeting, there is a mandatory pick six payout.
The pick six was so tricky on Saturdays California Cup program that no one picked even five winners and consolation tickets that had four out of six winners were worth $742.
Sundays 10-race program begins at noon Pacific. The pick six covers the fifth through 10th race; the fifth race is scheduled for 2:02 p.m.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Kent Desormeaux has done virtually everything in a Hall of Fame career that now spans more than two decades, except end a meeting as leading rider at Churchill Downs.
But with a terrific first week at the fall meet, including a romping victory Saturday aboard Istan in the 15th running of the $221,600 Ack Ack Handicap, Desormeaux has another lofty goal in his sights.
STICKNEY, Ill. - Clear-cut wins aren't part of Mighty Rule's arsenal. The horse usually shaves things close, win or lose. But every race - turf, dirt, Polytrack, probably anything - Mighty Rule will go out and try, and his can-do attitude netted a career-best win on Saturday in the $87,900 Lightning Jet Handicap.
The Lightning Jet was one of six Illinois-bred stakes at Hawthorne on Saturday.
ARCADIA, Calif. - Bold Chieftain won the richest race of his career in Saturdays $250,000 California Cup Classic at the Oak Tree at Santa Anita, easily defeating a fading legend in the 6-year-old gelding Lava Man and holding off a late run from the promising 3-year-old Celtic Dreamin.
The Classic was one of eight major stakes for California-breds on the card.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - If this were football, Robby Albarado and Steve Asmussen might be flagged for piling on. The same men who a week beforehand won a $5 million race in the international racing spotlight were back for more Saturday at Churchill Downs, where they teamed to capture the Grade 2, $221,000 Chilukki Stakes with Rolling Sea.
Tin Cup Chalice won an early speed duel with Delaware Park invader Scary Trip en route to a 1o3/4-length win in the $50,000 Finger Lakes Juvenile. Scary Trip was disqualified from second and placed third behind Say Toba Sandy for impeding that rival leaving the gate.
The victory was the second in as many starts for Tin Cup Chalice, a New York-bred son of Crusader Sword who is trained by his owner and breeder, Mike Lecesse. Tin Cup Chalice ran the six furlongs in 1:11.25 under jockey Omar Camejo and paid $4.70.
Financingavailable ($4.20) lowered Woodbine's six-furlong Polytrack record while winning the $174,000 Ontario Fashion Stakes.
Financingavailable covered the distance in 1:08.56, which was .28 of a second faster than the old record, set by Not Bourbon on Oct. 13.
Financingavailable stalked a fast pace set by last year's Fashion winner, Shot Gun Ela, before taking control at the top of the stretch. She opened up a clear lead at the eighth pole, then coasted home on top by two lengths over Count to Three. Lyrically was third in the 10-horse field of fillies and mares.
Suave Jazz once again showed his liking for the Delaware Park racing surface, rallying from just off the pace to a hard-fought head decision over a game Banjo Picker in Saturday's $100,000 Vincent Moscarelli Memorial Stakes.
Suave Jazz stalked the pace from the outset of the six-furlong Moscarelli before wearing down a stubborn Banjo Picker nearing the wire for his fourth victory in five starts at Delaware. The win was the fifth in nine tries this year for Suave Jazz, a son of Suave Prospect who has not finished worse than second in 2007.
