MUSKEGON, Mich. - The $50,000 Michigan Oaks on Tuesday at Great Lakes Downs has attracted six Michigan-bred 3-year-old fillies, including the first four finishers in the $50,000 Ann Arbor Stakes here Aug. 19. A 1 1/16-mile race, the Michigan Oaks will be run for the 33rd time and is the eighth race on the card, which begins at 5:10 p.m. There will be no exotic or show wagering, because there are two stable couplings in the race.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Win McCool finally lived up to her regal bloodlines Saturday, dueling longshot Pretty Imposing into defeat and drawing off to a 1 1/2-length victory in the Grade 3, $110,900 at Belmont Park.

Great Intentions, who was perfectly positioned behind the dueling leaders, had to settle for second, 1 1/4 lengths ahead of Stormy Kiss in third. Swap Fliparoo, the Test winner and 2-1 Floral Park favorite, finished fourth and was followed by For All We Know, Indian Flare, Ever Elusive, and Pretty Imposing.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - Owner Gerry Sleeter tossed and turned all night, debating whether to scratch Who's the Cowboy from the $100,000 Friendly Lover Handicap on Saturday at Monmouth Park.

Sleeter opted to run and was rewarded with a fourth straight stakes win by the 4-year-old Who's the Cowboy. The effort was easily the most impressive during the fourth annual New Jersey Thoroughbred Festival.

Three riders were involved in two spills early on Saturday's card at Louisiana Downs. All three of the riders - the apprentice Cody Meche, Anthony Lovato, and Michael Wright - appeared to escape serious injury.

In the first race, the tiring Deputy O'Neal shied in the stretch and ducked into the rail, unseating Meche. Deputy O'Neal appeared uninjured while Meche, though slightly shaken up, kept his riding commitments for the remainder of the day.

ELMONT, N.Y. - For the last few years, it seems like the triumvirate of , Dave, and Golden Commander have taken turns winning the series of New York-bred turf stakes run on this circuit. After victories in the last two statebred turf stakes, it doesn't seem that Certifiably Crazy wants to surrender his turn.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Her Royal Nibs didn't make it to the races until this, her 5-year-old season. And though she was able to win a maiden race in her second start, she certainly wasn't breaking any stopwatches.

But in her last two starts, Her Royal Nibs has rewarded her connections for their patience and perseverance with two authoritative allowance wins at Saratoga. Sunday, she stands an excellent chance to win her stakes debut in the $100,000 Schenectady Stakes for New York-bred fillies and mares at Belmont Park.

POMONA, Calif. - Autumn racing at the Los Angeles County Fair is not quite the same as summer racing at Del Mar. But six days into the Fairplex Park meet, at least two similarities to Del Mar have emerged: a slight handle decline and a swollen win rate for favorites.

All-sources wagering at Fairplex is down slightly from the record 2005 season and is averaging $6.3 million daily.

"It is kind of mirroring the Del Mar meet," said Fairplex equine manager George Bradvica.
