SAN MATEO, Calif. - The Thanksgiving holiday week could be a banner one at Bay Meadows, starting with a strong Wednesday card that consists of 69 runners and superfectas in all but one of the eight races. Sixty-one runners are entered on Thursday, for an 11:15 a.m. first post and eight races on the holiday card. Friday's nine-race card drew 104 entries, including also-eligibles. Only one race has fewer than 10 entrants, and it drew nine.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Sealy Hill served notice that she will be a filly to follow when she romped to an impressive victory in Sunday's $166,600 Glorious Song Stakes at Woodbine.

Bred in Ontario by Eugene Melnyk and competing for Melnyk Racing Stable, Sealy Hill was making her stakes debut in the seven-furlong Glorious Song and rallied from just off the pace to win by 8 1/4 lengths while being taken in hand by jockey Patrick Husbands.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Of the three Grade 1 races that will be run at Hollywood Park during this weekend's turf festival, it's hard to pick a favorite among the Citation and Matriarch, both of which are expected to have maximum 14-horse fields, and the Hollywood Derby, which will have the smallest field, but brings the most intrigue.

That's because Showing Up is shipping in from the East, Dark Islander is coming back following an impressive victory in last month's Oak Tree Derby, and Brother Derek looks poised to make his turf debut in the 1 1/4-mile race this Sunday.

The Indiana-bred star Mr. Mink had to work harder than expected to register a wire-to-wire victory in the $40,000 To Much Coffee Stakes at Hoosier Park Sunday evening. But bettors who backed Mr. Mink didn't break a sweat, however, as Mr. Mink's closest pursuer was Father Art, Mr. Mink's entrymate.

Mr. Mi

Lexi Star ($6.80), coming off a seven-week freshening, cruised to a 3 3/4-length victory in the $58.300 Justakiss Stakes, the closing-day feature at Delaware Park.

Ridden by Ryan Fogelsonger for trainer Chris Grove, the 4-year-old Justakiss is now 3 for 3 over Delaware's main track and 5 for 11 overall. She covered 1 1/16 miles on a fast track in 1:44.61.

Queen Razyana ($88.80) won the $40,000 Chandler Stakes, a 7 1/2-furlong race for 3-year-old turf fillies at Turf Paradise, defeating even-money favorite Royal Cheer by 2 1/4 lengths.

Owned by Dancers Hill Racing Stable and trained by Ronald Chappell, Queen Razyana had finished seventh in her only previous try on turf here Oct. 30. But in the Chandler, she stalked the pace and won by more than two lengths. She ran the distance in 1:29.80 under Luis Hernandez.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Cushion Track, the synthetic surface Hollywood Park installed before this year's meet, has proven, as advertised, to need little maintenance. But for the second time this meet, apparently well-intentioned but overzealous maintenance led to problems, this time on Sunday, when one horse sustained fatal injuries during training hours, and the start of the day's races was delayed while the surface was worked on.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Mel Stute thought his filly Quick Little Miss was compromised by a wide post in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Churchill Downs, and believed she would not mind being brought back just 15 days after that race. He was right. Quick Little Miss, last of seven at the top of the stretch, closed furiously to nail odds-on favorite Jump On In and capture the $100,000 Moccasin Stakes for 2-year-old fillies on Sunday at Hollywood Park.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Main Executive ($7.20) recorded a mild upset under Todd Kabel in Sunday's $125,800 Kennedy Road Stakes, a six-furlong dash at Woodbine.

Main Executive battled with Are You Serious through fractions of :22.31 seconds and :45.90, before taking a clear lead exiting the turn.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Keeneland November sale ended Sunday, capping a remarkable fall auction season with a dramatic gain in gross.

The 14-day auction ended Sunday afternoon after selling 3,147 lots for $313,843,800, up eight percent from last year's 12-day total of $289,602,900 for 2,816 lots. The average dipped slightly, falling from $102,842 last year to $99,728, but median remained level with last year's figure at $35,000.
