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.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Stepping into the Churchill Downs winner's circle after gleefully watching his dream horse run to victory, owner Harry Aleo announced to no one in particular: "The Fog is back."

Indeed, by virtue of his 1 1/4-length triumph Saturday in the $131,450 , a race that snapped his two-race losing streak, Lost in the Fog flashed the form that made him the Eclipse Award-winning sprinter of 2005. Ridden by Russell Baze, Lost in the Fog had a perfect trip, gliding past early leader Exciting Metro and then holding off Kelly's Landing to win the Grade 3 Aristides.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Todd Pletcher maintains Wait a While is a better filly on turf than on dirt. Maybe someday he'll get to prove that theory right.

Saturday was not the day, as the , scheduled for the grass, was rained off to a sloppy main track at Belmont. And, as she did here last fall in the off-the-turf Miss Grillo Stakes, Wait a While galloped to an easy front-running victory.

Grass, at last!

The Meadowlands Racetrack hosts the first of three all-turf cards Monday afternoon. First post is 1:10 p.m. for the eight-race program, topped by the $60,000 Trenton Stakes for 3-year-old fillies.

Gates open at 11 a.m. and grandstand admission is free.

It helps to have a spare turf course available in the ongoing absence of a grass course at Monmouth Park.

Monmouth is installing a new course as part of a $30 million overhaul for when it hosts the 2007 Breeders' Cup.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Trainer Dale Romans wishes Joint Effort could run all her races at Churchill Downs. Having once again shown her fondness for her home track by racing to victory Saturday in the $167,850 , Joint Effort may make her next start in the Grade 1 Test Stakes at Saratoga, "but I wish it was here," Romans joked afterward.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Proposed survived a race-long battle on the front and a late threat from favored Star Parade to win the $168,000 at Hollywood Park on Saturday.

MIAMI - The backers and connections of Lord Robyn had to be shaking their heads after he turned his head at the same instant starter Bobby Vaughn sprung the latch

for Saturday's $45,000 Blazing Sword Stakes. As a result, the usually swift-footed Lord Robyn broke well behind the rest of the field while apparently losing all chance in the overnight turf stakes.
