Thistledown-based trainer Tim Hamm made it 2 for 2 in stakes at River Downs this year when the 3-year-old gelding Fisticuff ($24.80) rallied from slightly off the pace for a neck victory in the $50,000 Green Carpet Stakes for Ohio-breds.

An unexpected factor in the Green Carpet, which was transferred from turf to dirt because of wet conditions, was Tri Uimet, who dumped his rider leaving the gate, ran loose for much of the race, and caused interference to several horses down the backside, including the favorite, Dooze, who eventually held second by a length over Not Broke Yet.

Under Alex Birzer, Beau Watch ($22.60) took the lead on the backstretch and held off the late charge of Whimsy to score a neck victory in the $50,000 Wild Rose Stakes at Prairie Meadows.

Beau Watch, trained by Eric Reed, covered the 1 1/16 miles in 1:44.29. Whimsy finished four lengths clear of the 3-5 favorite, Platinum Ballet, who flattened out through the stretch.

Trainer Scott Lake maintained his stranglehold on the stakes program at Charles Town when Remarqable Tale ($4) went wire to wire to score a 1 1/2-length victory over 9-5 second choice Miss Hamma in the $50,000 Turn Capp.

It was the fourth straight win for the 5-year-old Remarqable Tale since she was claimed for $15,000 in March and the fifth victory by a Lake-trained horse in the five stakes Charles Town has run this spring.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Two progeny of Precise End, both trained by Steve Asmussen and ridden by Garrett Gomez, received similar trips in sweeping the two divisions of the New York Stallion Stakes Sunday at Belmont Park.

In the $75,000 Spectacular Bid for 3-year-old males, One Way Flight stalked the pace-setting Classic Pack, took command just outside the three-eighths pole, and cruised home a 4 1-4-length winner over Running Dog. One Way Flight ended a four-race losing streak including a neck loss in the Times Square Division of the New York Stallion Stakes in April at Aqueduct.

AUBURN, Wash. - Raise the Bluff came from next-to-last in a field of eight to win Sunday's $55,000 Pepsi-Cola Handicap at Emerald Downs by 1 3-4 lengths over Ragin Nonno, who edged even money favorite Courting Seattle for second.

Raise the Bluff, a 3-year-old son of Pine Bluff who races for Ron Crockett Inc., got the 6 1-2 furlongs in 1:16 under rider Nate Chaves. He paid $13.60 to win as the third choice in the wagering.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Pipers Thunder ($21) established himself as a contender for the June 25 Queen's Plate by taking the $151,200 Sunday at Woodbine.

Pipers Thunder pressed the pace on the outside under jockey Ray Sabourin in the nine-furlong contest. He took control at the head of the stretch, then shrugged off bids from longshots Cifercat and Ascot Bill in the stretch to prevail by a length over the latter.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Attima scored her first stakes win in Sunday's $137,150 at Hollywood Park in such convincing style that trainer Julio Canani was baffled on what races to aim for this summer.

The 4-5 favorite, Attima led throughout and was never really threatened, winning by 1 1-4 lengths over Foxysox. Ridden by Victor Espinoza, who gave her only the slightest urging with the whip in the stretch, Attima ran 1 1-8 miles on turf in 1:47.36. Proxenia finished third in the field of seven 3-year-old fillies.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Favored Carthage ($4.20) may have won Sunday's Grade 3 $108,125 at Thursday's draw.

Breaking from the outside No. 5 post, Carthage broke alertly, kept Trickey Trevor pinned to the rail and pulled away late for a one-length victory, winning the six-furlong race in 1:09.33. Areyoutalkintome, who hopped at the start and was well behind the field early, finished third, 1 (one one-half) lengths behind Trickey Trevor and 1 (one and one-half) lengths in front of last-place Bonfante.

Bossier City, La. - Making his first start in stakes company a winning one, Venomous finished resolutely under E. J. Perrodin and wore down even money favorite Random Gold to capture Saturday's $50,000 King's Court Stakes at Louisiana Downs. Brandon's Marfa finished third with Grand Bank fourth. That Tat and Final Draft were late scratches.

Gold Storm, last seen in the Grade 2 Churchill Downs Handicap on Derby Day 2005, returned to the races with a vengeance Saturday night at Evangeline Downs when he captured the $75,000 Need For Speed Stakes, setting a track record in the process. Inalako reported home in for second, three lengths behind the winner followed by All Wired Up.
