ELMONT, N.Y. - Big Truck ran into a Giant roadblock on the road to immortality.
Giant Moon, coming off a maiden win going five furlongs, turned aside heavily favored Big Truck and longshot Coastal Drive to win Saturday's $100,000 Sleepy Hollow Stakes by a head at Belmont Park. Coastal Drive rallied to get second by a neck over Big Truck. It was 19 lengths back to the rest of the field.

Whatever the surface, Bel Air Beauty seems to save her best for Keeneland. Friday she easily won the Grade 3, $150,000 Pin Oak Valley View Stakes over the Keeneland turf course, her first victory since winning the Grade 2 Alcibiades last October over the Polytrack surface there.
Heading into the first turn of the 1 1/16-mile Valley View, Bel Air Beauty appeared an unlikely winner. Breaking from the 11 post under Mark Guidry in field of 12 3-year-old fillies, she was hung five wide into the first turn, which resulted in her falling back into fifth place early.
ARCADIA, Calif. - Buzzards Bay is bound for the $500,000 Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs on Nov. 23 after winning a $54,000 allowance race at Santa Anita Friday that required a little more work than trainer Ron Ellis would have preferred.
Buzzards Bay fought off challenges in early stretch from Siren Lure and Corey County to win the 1 1/16-mile race by 1 3/4 lengths over Siren Lure. Buzzards Bay ($2.80) was timed in 1:41.13 over a track that played very fast.
PORTLAND, Ore. - Ex Mountain Cop, who began a remarkable four-race win streak in last year's edition of the OTBA Sales Stakes, will soon be starting on a comeback trail after recovering from a career-threatening injury to his suspensory ligament, trainer Jonathan Nance said.
STICKNEY, Ill. - Haven't we been down this path before? It was just five weeks ago that Jennie R. and Honour Colony locked horns on the front end of a turf stakes race at Arlington, and the speedy pair figure to be at it again Sunday in the $45,000 Summertime Promise Stakes.
FORT ERIE, Ontario The $25,000 Longshots OTB Cup for 2-year-old fillies heads the Sunday afternoon card at Fort Erie. The field includes two entries and three runners from the James Woods barn. The conditions for the six-furlong Longshots OTB require entrants to have made at least one prior start at Fort Erie.
The Michael Cartwright-owned and -trained coupling of Gold Abby and Jans Trophy should take their fair share of action, as both are winners here who have posted better Beyer Speed Figures than the rest.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia Although the final two stakes at the meet the Fantasy for 2-year-old fillies Saturday and the Ascot Graduation for 2-year-old colts and geldings next Sunday are each $100,000 races at 1 1/16 miles, the similarities stop there.
The Fantasy figures to be little more than a public workout for Dancing Allstar, while the Ascot Graduation appears to be open to just about any of the 15 horses nominated.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Francois Rohaut and Todd Pletcher may have little in common in geographic terms but will share one distinction here Sunday as the only trainers with starters in both the $2 million Canadian International and $1 million E.P. Taylor Stakes.
Rohaut, based in France, will send out Irish Wells in the Grade 1 Canadian International, a 1o1/2-mile turf race, and Mrs. Lindsay in the Grade 1 E.P. Taylor, a 1 1/4-mile turf race for fillies and mares.
