LEXINGTON, Ky. - In Saturday's Grade 2, $300,000 Raven Run Stakes at Keeneland, trainer Bobby Frankel continued a successful angle - winning a lucrative stakes race over the track's Polytrack surface with a filly that had raced exclusively on turf in prior starts.

ELMONT, N.Y. - A soft pace and wide trip could not prevent Al Basha from a well-deserved victory in the $150,000 Mohawk Handicap for older turf horses on Saturday's New York Showcase Day at Belmont Park.

FAR HILLS, N.J. - Steeplechase superstar McDynamo captured his fifth consecutive Breeders' Cup steeplechase win with a powerful score in the Grade 1, $300,000 BC Grand National on Saturday at the Far Hills Races.

Outcashem ($4.40) made a smashing return from a year's layoff to post a 6 3/4-length victory in the $51,200 City of Charles Town Handicap, one of three stakes at Charles Town sponsored by the local Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association.

A 6-year-old gelding trained by Scott Lake, Outcashem ran the 4 1/2 furlongs over a sloppy, sealed track in 50.94 seconds for his 19th win in 33 career starts.

Kiss the Kid ($4), one of only four horses who remained in the field when the race was shifted from turf to a sloppy and sealed main track, cruised to a 5 3/4-length victory in the $58,200 Cozzene Stakes at the Meadowlands.

Ridden by Stewart Elliott for trainer Amy Tarant, Kiss the Kid sped a mile and 70 yards in 1:38.20, just .30 of a second off the track record of 1:37.90. He is now 2 for 2 on off tracks and 5 for 15 lifetime.

All Wired Up helped the Delta Downs meet get off to a fast start Friday, when he set a track record for five furlongs in the opening-night feature, the $55,000 Zydeco Stakes. All Wired Up covered the distance in 57.24 seconds, lowering the track's mark of 57.49 set by Britt's Jules on Nov. 5, 2003.

Mrs. Began ($11.20) won her maiden in style at Woodbine, taking the $250,000 Princess Elizabeth Stakes over heavily favored Victory Romance.

Victory Romance set tepid fractions under Todd Kabel in the 1 1/16-mile race for 2-year-old fillies. Mrs. Began stalked throughout along the inside under Jim McAleney, and wore down Victory Romance in the stretch to prevail by a neck, in a time of 1:47.10. Reverently finished a distant third in the five-horse field of Canadian-breds.

"We had a wonderful trip," said McAleney. "I had more than enough horse to get there."

The 3-year-old Southwestern Heat almost always has the lead for the first half-mile. But every time he has stepped up to stakes company, he has been got caught.

Not in the $75,000 Sonny Hine at Laurel Park, however.

Breaking cleanly from the gate under jockey Eric Camacho, Southwestern Heat ($20.20) opened up a three-length lead after a quarter-mile in 21.81, increased his margin to seven lengths through a half-mile in 44.63 seconds, and coasted to a 3 1/2-length score over 7-5 favorite Jacob's Run.

The order of finish may have been identical, but this time Cave's Valley made sure no photo was needed to separate himself from Atoned and Cudjo.

Unlike a month ago in an overnight stakes, when Cave's Valley was all out to finish a nose ahead of Atoned and a neck in front of Cudjo, Saturday's $101,650 Dover at Delaware Park turned out to be a romp.

New Approach completed his season Saturday with a hard-fought victory in the Group 1, $511,000 Dewhurst Stakes at Newmarket that is sure to earn him a juvenile championship, as he maintained his perfect record at the expense of the previously unbeaten Fast Company and Raven's Pass.

A half-hour later, Literato fulfilled the high hopes of his French trainer, Jean-Claude Rouget, by winning the Group 1, $818,000 Champion Stakes.
