FORT ERIE, Ontario - Controversy reigned in the $500,000 Prince of Wales Stakes here at Fort Erie on Sunday as Malakoff finished first but was disqualified and placed fifth following a stewards' inquiry.

Shillelagh Slew, who had finished 1 1/2 lengths back in second place in the 1 3/16-mile race for Canadian-bred 3-year-olds, was awarded the win when Malakoff was demoted after being judged guilty of causing interference in the final furlong under jockey Todd Kabel.

Midnight Shadow ($3.40) held off a charging Lucas Stretch to take Sunday's $150,400 Shady Wells Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Woodbine Midnight Shadow broke on top in the five-furlong dash before pressing On the Podium through a rapid opening quarter in 21.24 seconds.

They dueled around the turn, and Midnight Shadow assumed command through a half-mile in 44.55. Midnight Shadow's lead diminished in the final sixteenth, but she dug in and won by a neck over Lucas Stretch, who failed to switch leads in the stretch.

Trainer Stanley Hough swept both turf stakes Sunday at Monmouth Park with the favorites as Brunilda won the $61,800 Politely for fillies and mares and Terrific Challenge took the $55,000 John McSorley.

The Hough winners employed very different tactics. Brunilda ($3.80) set the pace under Eddie Castro and won by two lengths over Smart N Classy.

The time was 1:40.88 for 1 1/16 miles on the firm turf. Terrific Challenge ($4.40), with Joe Bravo aboard, rallied from seventh to win the five-furlong McSorley by 1 3/4 lengths over Bingobear.

The Delaware Handicap has been run 69 times since 1937, and its companion stakes, the Delaware Oaks, has been contested 55 times since 1938. Until Sunday, no trainer had ever swept the two most prestigious races on Delaware Park's stakes schedule.

Todd Pletcher pulled off the unprecedented feat, and jockey Jose Santos made it look easy, as Fleet Indian cruised to her sixth straight victory and fourth consecutive stakes in the Grade 2, $1 million .

Silver Train remained the king of Belmont Park with a hard-fought neck victory over War Front in Sunday's Grade 2, $150,000 .

Sensing his horse wasn't happy racing on the inside of two other horses, jockey Edgar Prado took a hold of Silver Train at the half-mile pole to get him an outside run. Silver Train rallied three wide around the turn, put away Anew in upper stretch, and was able to run down War Front, who made his first start since February.

AUBURN, Wash. - Judicature made her maiden win count, posting her first score in the $40,500 Angie C. Stakes for 2-year-old fillies Sunday at Emerald Downs.

Heavily favored Vaca City Flyer ($2.60) recorded her fourth-straight stakes victory, leading a parade of runners home through the stretch in the $49,350 Vacaville Handicap at the Solano County Fair on Saturday.

"We took a chance, and it worked out," said Johnson amidst a raucous winner's circle.
