HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Edgar Prado had one of those Saturdays when virtually nothing goes wrong. The 2006 Eclipse Award-winning jockey won not only the Florida Derby aboard Scat Daddy, but also five earlier races on the Gulfstream Park card, including a narrow score aboard A. P. Arrow when the wire came just in time for the heavy favorite in the $150,000 Skip Away Handicap.

"He is like riding a bike - you have to keep peddling all the time," said Prado. "They told me to ride him with confidence, and I did, and he got the job done."

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. - Live racing was called off following the second race on Saturday at Fonner Park when riders elected not to continue. Following a day of racing over a muddy sealed track on Friday, rain moved back into the area Friday night and continued all day Saturday. Riders cited poor visibility and inability of the track floats to eliminate tire ruts in the surface as the reason not to ride.

The $15,000-added Baxter Stakes, for 3-year-olds, was rescheduled for next Saturday and will be co-featured with the $15,000 Runza Stakes.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - In 2005, Invasor was a champion, dominating the competition in Group 1 stakes race after race. But that was in Uruguay, which will not be confused with any horseracing nexus on the planet, and when Invasor finished fourth, beaten seven lengths by Discreet Cat, in the 2006 UAE Derby at Nad Al Sheba, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin didn't know quite what to think.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - The Japanese won their first World Cup races in 2006, and led by Admire Moon they dominated the $5 million Dubai Duty Free this year while American horses flopped for the second straight turf race Saturday night.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Hong Kong, where racing has a huge following, had never won a race on Dubai World Cup Night, and Vengeance of Rain had never before started in a race outside Hong Kong since being privately purchased early in his career. But Vengeance of Rain carried his form from the Far East to the Middle East and won an outstanding running of the $5 million Dubai Sheema Classic by 1 1/4 lengths.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - As brilliant as Discreet Cat looked winning the 2006 United Arab Emirates Derby, Asiatic Boy might have been even better on Saturday at Nad Al Sheba. Discreet Cat won the UAE Derby by six lengths, and while last year's field might have been a stronger one than this year's, Asiatic Boy was home by 9 1/2 lengths, that after contesting a fast early pace, and getting caught three paths wide around the Nad Al Sheba turn.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - American horses, as has so often been the case, dominated the Grade 1, $2 million Golden Shaheen at Nad Al Sheba, with Kelly's Landing holding off Friendly Island to win the six-furlong straight-course sprint by a half-length. Salaam Dubai finished third, followed by two more Americans, Harvard Avenue and the pacesetting Bishop Court Hill.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Spring At Last trained up to the $1 million Godolphin Mile like a horse ready for a top race, and then went out and delivered one in the night's first Thoroughbred contest at Nad Al Sheba. Caught wide while dueling for the early lead, Spring at Last made the lead partway through the long Nad Al Sheba stretch, and had plenty left to hold off Parole Board, winning by 2 3/4 lengths for trainer Doug O'Neill, who won his first race on the World Cup program.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - The Dubai Racing Club has announced plans to build a new racing facility approximately double the size of the current Nad al Sheba plant, and by the time the track is ready to open in 2010, the Dubai World Cup could boast a purse of approximately $10 million, according to Saeed H. Al-Tayer, chairman of the Dubai Racing Club.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Rita Katrina angled to the outside of a wall of four horses into the stretch, and dug in to win the $50,000 Rainbow Miss Stakes by a length over Ile St Jaycee. It was another 2 1/4 lengths back in third to Abby the Great.

With the win, Rita Katrina completed a sweep of the two Arkansas-bred stakes for her division, with her other victory coming last fall in the $50,000 Lady Razorback Futurity at Louisiana Downs.
