Baroness Thatcher, the runner-up to Kentucky Oaks winner Rags to Riches earlier this year in the Grade 1 Las Virgenes Stakes, is the track's morning-line favorite for the $250,000 Black-Eyed Susan, one of five stakes - all of them for females - to be run Friday at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

AUBURN, Wash. - Shampoo ($9.40) chased the hot pace of California invader On Duty into the stretch, then moved to take command with a furlong remaining and powered away to a 4 1/2-length victory in Saturday's $45,000 U.S. Bank Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Emerald Downs. On Duty held on for second, 4 1/4 lengths ahead of Wings of Justice in the field of nine.
Shampoo, a homebred daughter of Gulch who races for Jerre Paxton's Northwest Farms, covered six furlongs in 1:08.40 under rider Kevin Radke. Doris Harwood trains Shampoo, who has now won 2 of 5 starts and $42,500.
ALTOONA, Iowa - Seekingthereinbow ($2.80) made it 3 for 3 in 2007 with an easy five-length win in the $65,000 Mamie Eisenhower for Iowa-bred fillies and mares on Saturday night at Prairie Meadows.
Seekingthereinbow, the reigning Iowa-bred horse of the year, covered six furlongs in 1:10.08. Entry mate Camela Carson rallied up the rail for second with Dixie Kate a neck back in third.
INGLEWOOD, Calif.- Victor Espinoza had better luck at the end of Saturday afternoon than he did earlier in the day.
Espinoza missed riding favored Peace Chant in the Los Angeles Handicap after he had a flat tire en route to the track. He arrived at Hollywood Park in time for his final two mounts, and finished the day with a victory aboard the ex-claimer On the Acorn in the $250,000 Jim Murray Memorial Handicap.
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Slew's Tizzy opened up some new options for himself on Saturday, with an off-the-pace win in the Grade 3, $300,000 Lone Star Derby at Lone Star Park. He won by a length and three-quarters over Moyer's Pond, and the Belmont Stakes is now a "real possibility" for his next start, said Greg Fox, who trains Slew's Tizzy.
A fresh Dave the Knave ($11.20) overhauled Marco Be Good in deep stretch to capture the $127,000 New Providence Stakes at Woodbine.
Jockey David Clark rated Dave the Knave in mid-pack on the outside in the six-furlong sprint for Ontario-sired runners, as Quick in Deed set fractions of 22.13 and 44.93 seconds.
S W Aly'svalentine was clearly ready for her first start since late December.
Breaking sharply from the rail under jockey Vladimir Diaz, the 5-year-old S W Aly'svalentine ($4.60) led every step of the six-furlong, $60,000 Pistol Packer Handicap at Philadelphia Park. In winning for the 10th time in 22 starts, S W Aly'svalentine finished 2 1/4 lengths ahead of Jet Away Jane in a five-horse field of Pennsylvania-bred fillies and mares. She set fractions of 22.15 and 45.34 seconds en route to a final time of 1:10.51.
The early money that temporarily made Greenstreet the even-money favorite was right on target in the $60,050 Polly's Jet Stakes at Delaware Park.
Although the Todd Pletcher-trained Perfect Forest went off as the 4-5 choice in the 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-old fillies, she faded to third after setting the pace to the eighth pole.
Instead, it was another New York-based filly, Greenstreet ($9.20) who earned her first stakes victory by running down 9-2 third choice Bees in deep stretch by a neck, covering the distance in 1:44.14.
Street Sounds essentially got paid for a one-mile workout at Pimlico on Saturday.
An overwhelming favorite after winning the Grade 2 Beaumont over Keeneland's Polytrack in her season's debut a month ago, Street Sounds ($2.40) coasted in a wire-to-wire win over five other 3-year-old fillies in the $80,000 Hilltop Stakes.
