Against the Law, the 2-5 favorite, won her third consecutive race when she captured last Saturday's $24,800 La Paz Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Turf Paradise.

With leading jockey Glenn Corbett aboard, Against the Law ($2.80) drew off to an easy 3o1/4-length victory over Torrance, with Famous Gal third in the field of six.

"She started off her career a little slow," said Corbett. "But she's won her last three, two of them overnight stakes."

Against the Law is likely to point for the $40,000 Arizona Juvenile Fillies on Dec. 30.

Mr. Pursuit was unbeatable this meet at Remington Park. He won an allowance in September, the $275,000 Oklahoma Derby in October, then the $75,000 Governor's Cup on the track's closing night card Tuesday.

Mr. Pursuit ($4) won by 1 1/2 lengths over Sampson's Son, while it was another neck back in third to Real Dandy. The Governor's Cup was one of two stakes on the program, with Slew By Slew ($8.80) taking the $50,000 Centennial.

Evangeline Downs has announced March 18, 2007 as the date for its fifth annual John Franks Memorial 2-year-olds in training and paddock sale. The juveniles who pass through the ring will be eligible for a pair of $100,000 stakes named for Franks, the Eclipse Award-winning breeder and owner from Louisiana. The stakes will be run in August 2007.

Stemmans Inc. manages the sale for Evangeline, and last March a sale record was set when the 2-year-old Manhattan Model brought $105,000. The juveniles in the 2006 sale averaged $12,887. Entries for next year's sale close on Jan. 8.

After a week of fine tuning, the 2007 racing schedule for Ohio's three Thoroughbred tracks is now settled.

The completion of the dates process was held up when Beulah Park refused to sign off until receiving Thistledown's 2007 racing schedule. Thistledown had expressed a desire to race additional dates in the 7 & 7 alternating-race program with Beulah, an idea that Beulah resisted.

Wrenice, a 2-year-old filly who has won her last four starts by a combined 34 lengths, might start as the shortest-priced favorite Saturday night during the Texas Champions Day program at Sam Houston Race Park.

Entries for the richest card of the meet, which features eight divisional stakes for Texas-breds worth a cumulative $475,000, were taken on Wednesday. First post for the program is 7 p.m. Central.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - This is a time of transition for trainer Bobby Frankel. Out with the old, like Badge of Silver and Cacique, who have been retired to stud, and in with the new, including Price Tag, who won the Matriarch Stakes last Sunday.

Price Tag was one of several European imports who arrived in recent weeks for Frankel. All were intended for 2007 campaigns, but Frankel called an audible with Price Tag, who was bred and is owned by Prince Khalid Abdullah's Juddmonte Farms.

Daily average handle remained steady this year at Hoosier Park, the Anderson, Ind., track that concluded a 59-day meet on Saturday. Average daily handle from all sources on Hoosier Park races was $1,773,313, an increase of 1.8 percent over the 2005 meet.

Trainer Vickie Foley has been fined $2,000 by Churchill Downs for falsifying the signature of client Gus Goldsmith on two occasions at the Churchill fall meet.

Goldsmith alerted the stewards that Foley had signed his name with her own handwriting on claim slips before back-to-back races Nov. 23 at Churchill. Both claims were voided before the horses moved into Foley's barn.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Darwin Banach has had a solid season as the private trainer for Bill Sorokolit Sr. and Bill Sorokolit Jr., sending out 16 winners from 90 starters heading into the last two weeks of the Woodbine meeting.

The undisputed star of Banach's barn has been Sky Conqueror, winner of two Grade 2 stakes and the likely winner of the Sovereign Award as Canada's male turf champion of 2006 at the downtown Toronto ceremony on Dec. 16.

The trainer Dallas Stewart, a native of the New Orleans area, starts his first horse of the new Fair Grounds meet in Thursday's eighth race. That horse, a first-timer in a two-turn turf race, is just another unknown quantity, but in Thursday's featured ninth race, Stewart has the favorite and horse to beat, a promising 3-year-old named Island Warrior.
