MIAMI - Reigning Eclipse Award-winning sprinter Lost in the Fog may not have scared away any of the opposition, but the freakishly fast Dubai Escapade obviously did when entries were drawn Monday for Saturday's $1.96 million Summit of Speed program at Calder Race Course.

A surprisingly large field of 13 horses, including Lost in the Fog, passed the entry box for the Grade 2, $500,000 Smile Sprint while only seven fillies and mares, led by the once-beaten Dubai Escapade, will contest the Grade 1, $500,000 Princess Rooney Handicap.

A pair of graded-stakes winners from high-percentage barns, one based in New York and the other in California, head a field of eight 3-year-old fillies entered Monday for Saturday's $500,000 Delaware Oaks.

Adieu, winner of the Grade 1 Frizette and Grade 2 Spinaway as a 2-year-old, will represent Todd Pletcher in the Grade 2, 1 1/16-mile Oaks at Delaware Park.

Hystericalady will ship in for the northern California powerhouse stable of Jerry Hollendorfer after winning last month's Grade 2 Hollywood Oaks.

Colonial Downs's multimillion-dollar bonus for its Grand Slam of Grass racing series is officially by the boards.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Fort Erie's $500,000 Prince of Wales, the 1 3/16-mile race on Sunday that is the second leg of Canada's Triple Crown, is expected to draw a field of eight or nine, and several candidates had their final tune-ups here at Woodbine and elsewhere over the last few mornings.

The cloud of doubt hovering over the Solano County Fair in recent years has been lifted as the track begins its 2006 meeting Wednesday.

Plans for redevelopment of the fair property that would have eliminated horse racing have fallen apart. A proposal by the Mills Corporation to redevelop the 150-acre fair property has been rejected by both the fair board and the county board of supervisors.

There was a method to the seeming madness when trainer Billy Morey claimed Stone Rain for $80,000 at Golden Gate Fields on March 10. A 5-year-old gelding, Stone Rain finished fourth behind comebacking Spanish Chestnut that day.

"It raised a lot of eyebrows when we first took him," Morey said. "I was content with $80,000. We put a partnership together with four of us involved so that someone wouldn't be sticking his neck out for $80,000."

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Strike Softly, one of many victims of the virus that made the rounds at Woodbine last month, obviously didn't put her best foot forward in the 1 1/8-mile Woodbine Oaks on June 11.

And that made Strike Softly something of a question mark here heading into last Sunday's $152,000 Ontario Damsel, a 6 1/2-furlong turf race for Ontario-foaled 3-year-old fillies.

"I didn't really know what to expect from her," said Mark Frostad, who trains Strike Softly for owner-breeder Sam-Son Farm.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Strike Softly split horses at the sixteenth pole en route to her first stakes victory in Sunday's $152,000 Ontario Damsel at Woodbine.

Strike Softly saved ground in a stalking position under Todd Kabel in the six and a half-furlong turf dash. She found her best stride at the eighth pole, and prevailed by a length over front-running A Touch of Glory, the 2-1 favorite.

Our Madison closed belatedly for third in the 10-horse field of Ontario-foaled 3-year-old fillies. The final time was 1:15.29 seconds.

AUBURN, Wash. - Horse for course A Classic Life improved her Emerald Downs record to seven wins from eight starts with a 1 1-4 length victory in Sunday's $40,000 King County Handicap at a mile.

A Classic Life, a 4-year-old daughter of Sky Classic, came from just off the pace to collar Dinner At Arlene's on the second bend and held off the closing charge of Queenledo to prevail in 1:35.60 under Ricky Frazier. Dinner At Arlene's held third by a neck over stablemate Roanaway Bride in a field of seven.

PLEASANTON, Calif. - Sharp Writer ($6) sat off a surprisingly brisk pace, made a strong move turning for home and was an easy winner in the $50,900 Alamedan Handicap at the Alameda County Fair on Sunday.

Megabyte and Now Victory turned what seemed a paceless affair into a hotly contested pace battle, running sprint-like fractions of 22,28, 44.59 and 1:10.04 for the 1 1/16-mile stakes race.
