Ecclesiastic proved yet again that it's never wise to underestimate Hall of Fame trainer Allen Jerkens, as the 6-year-old horse rallied three wide turning for home and exploded through the stretch to a 2 3/4-length victory in the Grade 3, $113,800 Jaipur Stakes at Belmont Park.

It was the second Jaipur victory for Ecclesiastic, who also won this race in 2005 when it was run at seven furlongs. Since then, Ecclesiastic had gone 1 for 15, which explains why he was sent off as the second-longest shot in the field at 24-1.

Heezafrequentflyer and No Lac O Zip raced heads apart for a half-mile before Heezafrequentflyer drew away slowly in deep stretch to post a two-length victory in the $51,000 Jiva Coolit Stakes for 3-year-old colts and geldings Saturday night at Charles Town.

Ridden by David Cora for trainer Debra Ketterman, Heezafrequentflyer ($4.80) covered 4 ½ furlongs in 52.77 seconds for his second straight victory and first stakes.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Awesome Gambler won his stakes debut in Saturday's $80,800 Alydar Stakes at Hollywood Park, giving apprentice jockey Joe Talamo his third winner of the day.

Awesome Gambler ($9.20) rallied from seventh in the field of eight 3-year-olds to catch 3-5 favorite Cobalt Blue in the final furlong. Awesome Gambler ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:50.25, finishing 1 1/2 lengths in front of Cobalt Blue, who finished 5 1/4 lengths in front of third-place finisher Freesgood.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. – The result of the Hanshin Cup Handicap was unexpected – but hardly historically unprecedented. Sure, Spotsgone paid a meet-high $165 to win, the largest mutuel in the history of the Hanshin Cup, which used to be called the Equipoise Mile. But the 60-year-old Earlie Fires was aboard Spotsgone, and Mr. Fires has found the winner’s circle in stakes races, well, 103 times now, by far the most in Arlington Park history.

Katie's Love has far more seconds and thirds than victories on fast tracks, having won just 2 of 25 such starts before Saturday, while collecting 8 seconds and 6 thirds.

But when she could have settled for a small piece of the purse once again, trailing by 2 1/2 lengths with a furlong remaining, Katie's Love ($10) kept coming in deep stretch and won by three-quarters of a length over Hanalei Bay in the $50,000 Shine Again Stakes at Pimlico.

Wood Be Willing ($9.60) overcame a slow pace to run down Tune of the Spirit in deep stretch and earn his first stakes victory in the $61,050 Eight Thirty at Delaware Park.

A 5-year-old ridden by Jose Caraballo for trainer Michael Matz, Wood Be Willing rallied along the rail, took the lead with a furlong remaining, and defeated Tune of the Spirit by two lengths while covering 1 1/8 miles on firm turf in 1:48.40.

He came into the overnight stakes race off a win going nine furlongs on Keeneland's Polytrack against optional claimers.

Into Reality ($6.40) sat just off favored Dixie Crisp early and pulled away when straightened into the lane to win the $50,625 Dipsea Trail for 3-year-old fillies at Golden Gate Fields.

Into Reality, trained by Bob Baffert, was coming off an April 14 maiden victory at Santa Anita. She defeated Hot Spell by 1 1/4 lengths in 1:09.67 for the six-furlong race. Dixie Crisp, Hot Spell's stablemate, was third another length back.

You Will Love Me ($32.80) mowed down the leaders at the eighth pole and captured the $126,600 Lady Angela Stakes at Woodbine under Eurico Rosa da Silva.

It was the first stakes score for You Will Love Me and for her owner-breeder, Bill Jones. Trained by Earl Barnett, she earned $75,000 in the seven-furlong sprint for Ontario-sired 3-year-old fillies at Woodbine.

Previously a front-runner, You Will Love Me rated kindly in third on the backstretch and got home on top by 1 1/4 lengths in a time of 1:24.50.

"When I asked her, she was there for me," da Silva said.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Honey Ryder rebounded from her 11th-place finish in the Dubai Sheema Classic in March so quickly that she gave her trainer, Todd Pletcher, confidence she was "as good as ever" entering Saturday's $150,000 Sheepshead Bay Handicap.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - Hey Chub upset Who's the Cowboy by a neck in the $60,000 John J. Reilly Handicap on Saturday to kick off the Memorial Day weekend at Monmouth Park.

The expected script took an interesting twist in the six-furlong race for New Jersey-breds. Everyone anticipated John's Pic gunning to the front and dictating the pace. He briefly vied for the lead but quickly backed off.
