STICKNEY, Ill. - Three Hour Nap might have been the last horse to win a graded stakes for trainer Hugh Robertson. Robertson wasn't exactly sure about that. Which is exactly the kind of trainer Hugh Robertson appears to be, focused on the mundane details of teaching racehorses lessons, keeping them healthy, rather than the last time a spotlight shined his way.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - New York-breds swept Saturday's graded stakes at Aqueduct on turf and dirt, as the 7-year-old gelding Foreverness won the Grade 3 , a race in which returning Eclipse Award champion Smuggler trailed throughout.

Horseplayers and racing fans have gotten one look at Thin Green Line, who won her career debut here March 26, and won it in a fast time. Ivan Jay Perry? He's spun across your television monitors a time or two. When he starts in the sixth race, a $25,000 turf claimer, Tuesday at the National Jockey Club meet, it will mark Ivan Jay Perry's 54th trip to the post.

Gilded Gold holds off Bright Gold to win Saturday's on the Lexington undercard at Keeneland.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Alan Goldberg knows something about fast mares. As the trainer of the 1990 Eclipse sprint champion, Safely Kept, Goldberg is an old hand at winning stakes races with lightning-quick females.

Hello Liberty, shipping up from Oaklawn Park following two sharp seconds, earned her first stakes victory in the $75,000 Peach Blossom on opening day at Delaware Park.

Sent off as the 5-2 second choice in a field reduced to five 3-year-old fillies following two late scratches at the gate, Hello Liberty moved alongside early pacesetter Lady of Summer approaching the turn and drew off by 3 1/2 lengths to give jockey Ramon Dominguez his third winner on the program. Hello Liberty ($7.20), trained by Larry Jones, covered the six furlongs on a sloppy track in 1:10.62.

Atlas Shrugs ($20) overcame traffic problems at the top of the stretch to capture the $126,200 Woodstock Stakes for 3-year-olds.

Atlas Shrugs, under Corey Fraser, raced far off a rapid pace on the backstretch of the six-furlong sprint. L'Argent set fractions of 22.13 and 45.63 seconds over a sloppy track, while being stalked by favored Vibank and Ballado Dancer.

Parthenope ($11.20) set the pace and turned back a bid from defending champion and 4-5 favorite Just Michel through the stretch to score a 1 3/4-length victory in the $50,000 Angenora Stakes for Ohio-bred fillies and mares.

Parthenope, who raced for a $5,000 claiming tag at Turfway Park earlier this year, was timed in 1:11.68 for six furlongs. The victory was Parthenope's third in eight starts in 2006 for her owner-trainer Larry Eilers.

Keystone Gulch ($7) stalked the pace to the stretch before kicking clear to score a 1 1/2-length victory over Acajou in the $50,000 Goldfinch Stakes, the opening night feature of the Prairie Meadows meeting Friday.

Keystone Gulch, under jockey Carlos Marquez Jr., covered the six furlongs in 1:10.98 while scoring her first stakes win and her fourth win overall in five lifetime starts for trainer Ron Shenofsky. Keystone Gulch, a 3-year-old daughter of Gulch, ran her career earnings to $79,980 with her Goldfinch score.

STICKNEY, Ill. - Paul Darjean hasn't cracked the top 20 in the trainer standings at the ongoing National Jockey Club meet at Hawthorne, but really, how could he? Darjean has just seven active horses at the moment, horses, that is, who are race fit and basically ready to roll. He has managed to get seven of them to the starting gate, four of whom have won with three others second. So, top 20 no; very well done, yes.

"Well, everybody can get lucky every now and then," said Darjean.
