HENDERSON, Ky. - Ten fillies and mares ran, but the $150,000 quickly became a two-horse race, with favored Prospective Saint ultimately getting the best of second choice Maggie Slew after a virtual race-long duel Saturday at Ellis Park.

Prospective Saint, ridden by Eddie Castro, moved alongside to challenge front-running Maggie Slew approaching the half-mile pole, and after they shrugged off a brief challenge from Beau Watch, they distanced themselves from the others, with Prospective Saint taking the Grade 3 race by a half-length.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - A year ago, trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. ran an entry, Show Boot and Crafty Player, to help soften up the speedy Commentator in the Woodward Stakes. His plan worked to perfection as Show Boot pushed Commentator for the opening half-mile, eventually paving the way for the third member of Dutrow's Woodward triumvirate, Saint Liam, to register an easy victory in the Grade 1 event.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Frustrated by a string of injuries to his horses in recent weeks, leading owner Bob Bone said Friday that he is changing his approach to claiming horses and will focus more on acquiring potential broodmares.

Therecomesatiger was mediocre in his first start this season, much better in his second, and came to a peak on Saturday at Arlington Park in his third, winning the Sea O'Erin Breeders' Cup Handicap by a head over Le Cinquieme Essai.

The favored Fort Prado finished third, unable to keep alive a four-race winning streak or defend his title in the Sea O'Erin. Therecomesatiger ($5.60) was timed in 1:37.15 for a mile over a turf course rated "good."

In Return, unbeaten in two starts since trainer Alan Goldberg added blinkers, rallied to win the $60,000 Eatontown Staybridge Suite Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on the turf at Monmouth Park.

Mambo With G, with Pedro Cotto Jr. aboard, jumped out to a huge early lead. She led by 10 lengths past the stands the first time. But Mambo With G's quick pace took a toll in the lane.

In Return ($8.60) blew past to win by 2 1/4 lengths lengths over Zaynab, the 7-5 favorite, with Mambo With G holding on for third.

Celtic Innis blew past pacesetter Crafty Schemer and the old-timer Confucius Say in deep stretch to earn his first win of the season in the $60,000 Chesapeake Stakes at Colonial Downs.

Winless in seven starts since capturing a minor stakes at Monmouth Park in June 2005, the 4-year-old Celtic Innis ($8.60), ridden for the first time by Horatio Karamanos, took command inside the sixteenth pole and finished two lengths in front of Crafty Schemer, the 6-5 favorite.

Hitthegroundrunnin, an 18-1 shot, came on to beat out the 8-year-old Confucius Say for third.

Daisy for Rubiano ($46.20), the second-longest shot among nine filly and mare turf sprinters, outbroke the field and proved uncatchable in the $60,600 Slavic Light Stakes at Delaware Park.

Although it was her fifth win in 11 starts on grass - all sprinting - Daisy for Rubiano was facing stakes horses for the first time after clearing her second allowance condition last month.

Acts Like a King ($12), a beaten favorite in two of his last three starts, made amends when he tried the turf for the first time in the $50,000 Horizon Stakes for 3-year-old Ohio-breds at River Downs.

Ridden by Nick Solomon for trainer Kris Nemann, Acts Like a King outkicked 2-1 favorite Fisticuff in deep stretch to prevail by a half-length in the 1 1/16-mile turf race. Petey G, an 11-1 shot, finished third, a nose in front of 15-1 pacesetter Rhodesleadtoheaven.

Midnight Shadow ($2.80) won her third race in a row in the $125,000 Nandi Stakes, a five-furlong sprint for Ontario-sired 2-year-old fillies at Woodbine.

Midnight Shadow battled three-wide on the lead with Grandy's Glory and Only If Split, through an opening quarter in 22.05 seconds. She established a slim lead over Only If Split after a half in 45.35, then edged away to prevail by 1 1/4 lengths, in a final time of 58.02.

River Barrow rallied to finish five lengths behind Only If Split in third. Siwa was scratched, reducing the field size to five.

Under patient handling from Kirk LeBlanc, Miss Atlantic ($11.60) staged a game rally up the inside to capture Friday night's $100,000 Filly Division of the John Franks Memorial Sales Stakes at Evangeline Downs.

Princess Deelite, who had lodged a rally of her own while five wide only to be caught in the late going, had to settle for second, followed by Ocean Express and Mizzen to Me.
