LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Curlin, the romping winner of the Breeders' Cup Classic, is back where he has been for most of the year - in the Steve Asmussen stable at Churchill Downs - but how long he will remain there has not yet been determined.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Jenine Sahadi doubled the size of her stable Monday when she took over 12 horses formerly trained by Patrick Biancone. Biancone is serving a six-month suspension for possession of a prohibited substance in Kentucky; his California stable is disbanding. The reassignment to Sahadi includes graded stakes-placed Trick's Pic, the imposing Fusaichi Pegasus colt Time Squared, and promising 2-year-old filly Strike Out.

ALBANY, Calif. - Golden Gate Fields has raised the minimum stakes purse for its upcoming fall meet to $75,000. The fall meet marks the debut of Golden Gate's new Tapeta surface.

Racing secretary Sean Greely will card seven stakes during the meet, which runs from Nov. 7 to Dec. 17. Six will carry $75,000 purses with a $150,000 purse for the Grade 3 All American at 1 1/8 miles on Nov. 17.

"I think stakes races have to have stakes purses," he said.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Monashee, who has been utterly dominant at Hastings this season and also been successful in two trips to Northlands Park, now will be looking to showcase her talents at Woodbine.

A Kentucky-bred 5-year-old owned by Canmor Farm and trained by Tracy McCarthy, Monashee is here for the $175,000 Maple Leaf, a 1 1/4-mile race for fillies and mares on Nov. 10.

"She's settling in very nicely," said McCarthy, who also will be making her Woodbine debut.

"She's a little quirky. She's a pretty demanding horse. But, she loves the environment here."

Todd Pletcher did so well with his initial foray into California last winter that he is increasing his presence this year. The three-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer said Sunday at Monmouth Park that he would have 40 horses based at Hollywood Park during the winter, beginning with a group of horses that was sent West on Monday.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Eccentric thrust himself into the Sovereign Award picture for Canadian champion male turf horse honors with a determined victory over yielding ground in last Saturday's $100,400 Chief Bearhart Stakes at Woodbine.

Eccentric was running back just two weeks after his troubled outing in the Durham Cup Stakes on the Polytrack, in which he was stuck in traffic on the far turn before closing strongly for second.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Sometimes a third-level allowance will draw a horse with a stakes win, and every now and then, one enters such a race with a couple of stakes victories. But they do not often show up as four-time stakes winners, not in a traditional third-level allowance, anyway.

An exception occurs Wednesday in the featured ninth race at Churchill Downs, when four-time stakes winner Somethinaboutbetty starts as the likely favorite in a $55,000 third-level allowance.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Trainers Jerry Hollendorfer and Greg Gilchrist had different kinds of disappointments at the Breeders' Cup.

The Hollendorfer-trained Hystericalady ran gamely but finished a close second in the Distaff, while the Gilchrist-trained Smokey Stover barely ran a step in the Sprint. Both runners came out of their races well and were scheduled to fly home to Northern California this week.

According to Hollendorfer, early plans are for Hystericalady to run again next year.

Tasteyville, who carved out a fast pace in the Brooklyn Handicap five weeks ago at Belmont, turned back to seven furlongs and cut even faster fractions to win Saturday's 55th running of the Grade 3, $142,500 Sport Page Handicap, leading wire to wire.

Go Between won the Grade 3, $150,000 Fayette, bravely turning back a stretch bid from favored Stream Cat to win his first race on Polytrack by a neck.

Go Between ($9.80), winner of the Grade 2 Virginia Derby last year, stalked the pace in fourth under Miguel Mena, three to four lengths off the early pace set by Kona Blend, and finished powerfully when called upon in the lane.
