OCEANPORT, N.J. - Redaspen usually flies under the parimutuel radar screen - and that's just fine with trainer Tim Woolley.

The 5-year-old mare sprung a 7-1 surprise last time out on the turf in Monmouth's Politely Stakes on May 27.

"She never gets a lot of respect when she runs," Woolley said. "That's fine with us. That way, we've made a good bit of money at the windows with her. When you run against the likes of Todd Pletcher, Michael Matz, and Graham Motion, Tim Woolley is going to be way down the list on the pecking order."

Carters Cartel, winner of the Kindergarten Futurity in May, scored a dominating win in time trials Saturday to become the fastest qualifier to the $1,130,000 Ed Burke Million Futurity on July 23 at Los Alamitos.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Trainer Mark Casse and jockey Patick Husbands combined for a career day Sunday at Woodbine, capturing all three stakes on the card, most notably the $502,000 Woodbine Oaks with Sealy Hill.

Street Sounds, 6-5 favorite in the Oaks under Ramon Dominguez, set brisk fractions of 23.42 seconds, 46.89 and 1:11.09 while being pressed by Saskawea. Sealy Hill rated kindly in fourth, about six lengths off the lead, and began to make up ground heading into the far turn, as the leaders began to tire.

Horse for the course Donald's Pride ($3.60), 11 for 25 lifetime at Charles Town but 0 for 11 everywhere else, returned home after three failures out of town to score a half-length victory over Raggedy Andy in the $50,900 Cortan Stakes.

A 7-year-old ridden by Anthony Mawing for trainer Patty Burns, Donald’s Pride ran seven furlongs in 1:26.32.

The two horses who figured to vie for favoritism, Confucius Say and Forest Park, were both scratched.

Bernie Blue ($5.80), unable to beat star sprinters Coach Jimi Lee and Fabulous Strike in his previous two starts, made a rare appearance in a route and flourished, leading throughout the mile-and-70-yard Slipton Fell Handicap on Saturday night at Mountaineer Race Track.

A 5-year-old gelding ridden by Deshawn Parker for trainer Miguel Feliciano, Bernie Blue ended a five-racing losing streak in the $75,000 Slipton Fell, finishing 1 ¾ lengths ahead of M B Sea while covering the distance in 1:42.52.

Mr. Boxcar ($12.60), dropping from open company to face statebreds for the first time since finishing a distant sixth to Triple Crown competitor Hard Spun last December, drew clear in deep stretch to win the $60,000 Peppy Addy Stakes at Philadelphia Park.

Ridden by Jose Flores for trainer Dee Curry, Mr. Boxcar put away My Three Boys inside the sixteenth pole to win the stakes restricted to Pennsylvania-bred 3-year-olds by 1o1/2 lengths. He covered a mile and 70 yards on a fast track in 1:42.28.

A perfectly timed ride by Ryan Fogelsonger helped the 6-year-old mare Silmaril capture the 10th stakes of her career.

Cutting back to six furlongs after two losses in routes, Silmaril ($3.60) came from last at the top of the stretch to overtake My Sister Sue by a head to take Pimlico's closing-day feature, the $75,000 Skipat for fillies and mares. Homesteader finished third, a half-length behind My Sister Sue.

The winning time was 1:10.89.

Barcola almost always is in front after the first six furlongs in his route races. Often he fades, as he did in the Grade 1 Donn Handicap won by Horse of the Year Invasor and his previous start in an optional claimer a month ago at Belmont Park.

Saturday afternoon at Delaware Park, however, the 4-year-old Barcola never stopped. Ridden for the first time by Kendrick Carmouche, Barcola ($25.80) repulsed a stretch challenge from

7-5 favorite Better Than Bonds to win the first stakes of his career in the $100,000 Brandywine.

ELMONT, N.Y. - The 8-year-old Better Talk Now continued his remarkable career Saturday, overcoming a slow pace and rallying furiously in the stretch to win the Gradeo1, $400,000 Manhattan Handicap in a wild finish at Belmont Park.

ELMONT, N.Y. - For the past two days, trainer Todd Pletcher had been battling the flu, and the early results of Saturday's card at Belmont Park could not have made him feel much better. But after watching favorites Wait a While and Deadly Dealer lose, and the sprinter Keyed Entry blow the turn, Pletcher finally got to the winner's circle Saturday when Cotton Blossom ran down favored Dream Rush to take the Grade 1, $250,000 Acorn Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on the Belmont Stakes undercard.

"I'm struggling through it," a pale Pletcher said as he left the winner's circle.
