Silent Pleasure, unraced since capturing the April 28 Texas Mile for his fourth straight victory, is one of 10 older horses entered to run Saturday in the $300,000 Cornhusker Breeders' Cup Handicap, the annual highlight of the racing season at Prairie Meadows.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Citronnade will be in a familiar spot Sunday at Hollywood Park - loose on the lead as the odds-on favorite - while seeking her fifth consecutive win.

Bobby Frankel had been noncommittal about Citronnade, who won the Grade 1 Gamely on May 28 and whose summer goal is the Beverly D. at Arlington on Aug. 11. But after watching Citronnade train, and eyeballing the modest field for the Gradeo2 Beverly Hills Handicap on Sunday, Frankel on Tuesday said Citronnade was a go for the $150,000 race at 1 1/4 miles on grass.

AUBURN, Wash. - The nine 3-year-old fillies who lined up for Sunday's one-mile Irish Day Handicap had plenty of reasons to be rattled.

Most members of the field were lightly raced, and all but two were starting in front of the grandstand for the first time. Add to that a deluge of biblical proportions that struck during the post parade and a lengthy delay that followed the late scratch of Wings of Justice, who acted up in the gate, and the stage was set for further mayhem.

MIAMI - No trainer had a better day up and down the East Coast on Saturday than Eddie Plesa Jr., who sent out Gottcha Gold to upset Lawyer Ron in Monmouth Park's Grade 3 Salvator Mile and the 45-1 shot Fearless Eagle to an even bigger shocker victory in the Lord Juban Stakes at Calder.

Fearless Eagle had only four previous starts, none on grass, before rallying to defeat fellow longshots Sparkling Notion in second place and Unbridled Music in third in the Lord Juban at 1 1/16 miles on turf.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Richard Mandella tried to talk himself out of starting The Tin Man in Saturday's $250,000 American Handicap at Hollywood Park. But after noting the attitude the 9-year-old gelding has displayed in recent training, Mandella gave in.

"It would be a waste of time not to run him," Mandella said on Sunday.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Queen's Plate weekend was a particularly draining experience for trainer Kevin Attard and the family of the late Steve Stavro, who had entered both Leonnatus Anteas and Alezzandro in Sunday's $1 million showpiece at Woodbine.

Leonnatus Anteas, the stable's more fancied Queen's Plate candidate, wound up spending Plate Day at the nearby University of Guelph's veterinary clinic after developing an infected pastern.

Carters Cartel confirmed his status as the nation's leading 2-year-old Quarter Horse with a record-breaking victory in the $1,130,000 Ed Burke Million Futurity at Los Alamitos.

Carters Cartel ($4.40), trained by Jaime Gomez, ran 350 yards in 17.17 seconds, breaking Corona Chick's 1991 track record of 17.22. Ridden by Alejandro Luna, Carters Cartel was always in control, winning by three-quarters of a length over Eye for Corona. Miss Kittys Bar Bet finished third, a nose behind Eye for Corona.

Lemonlime, the 5-2 favorite, narrowly prevailed in the $45,000 Northbound Pride Stakes at Canterbury Park, edging Silk Degrees by a half-length after a bumpy stretch run. Angel Smoke finished third, a head behind Silk Degrees.

The stewards conducted an immediate inquiry into the incident at the top of the stretch and disqualified Silk Degrees from second and placed her last. Angel Smoke was placed second and Demon's Storm was moved up to third.

Lemonlime ($7.60), trained by Anthony Granitz and ridden by Nik Goodwin, covered about a mile on turf in 1:36.66.

Butters ($138.20) pulled away late to upset the field in the $49,638 Sweepida Stakes at the San Joaquin County Fair, a 5 1/2-furlong stakes race for 3-year-old fillies.

Butters defeated the 14-1 Cosmopolitan Lady by four lengths in 1:04.74, with the 96-1 shot Hammett Star third. The three combined for a $53,052.20 trifecta payoff.

Butters was ridden by Catalino Martinez for trainer Angelo Tekos Jr.

Her blinkers removed by trainer James E. Baker, Casey's Jet rallied from next to last in the 12-horse field of the $50,000 J. William Petro Memorial at Thistledown, drawing off to a 3 1/4-length win. Magg's Choice rallied from just off the pace to be second, a head in front of Money Card.

Casey's Jet ($43.60) got the 1 1/16 miles in 1:46.56 over a fast track.
