Leading trainer Cole Norman knows exactly what he's up against with his two starters in the $50,000 Princess Stakes at Louisiana Downs on Sunday: the undefeated Mykindasaint.

Trained by Bubba Cascio, the talented Mykindasaint should go favored in the Princess, a six-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies that drew 12.

"Bubba's filly is definitely the one to beat," said Norman, who will start Love the Beach and Kat Nan Do. "She's the class of the race. So we hope to run good on Sunday. We'd like to win. We'll try."

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Fourth in a first-level allowance last time out, Decew Falls would appear to be moving into deeper water Sunday, when he makes his stakes debut in the $125,000 Vice Regent. Of his eight rivals, though, only a couple are proven stakes performers, and Decew Falls deserves a long look.

The Vice Regent is a one-mile turf race for Ontario-sired 3-year-olds.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba - The absence of Manitoba Derby winner Prime Time T.V., sidelined for the season because of an ankle injury, has opened the door for another horse to step to the forefront of the Assiniboia Downs 3-year-old division in Sunday's featured $40,000 Harry Jeffrey Stakes at 1 1/8 miles.

FORT ERIE, Ontario - Although Roman Romance finished second in the 1 1/16-mile Golden Horseshoe Cup here two weeks ago, it was a clunker of a race for her Beyer-wise.

A winner of eight races and more than $500,000, Roman Romance received a modest 59 Beyer when beaten 1 3/4 lengths in a weak and small field as the odds-on favorite. She has routinely posted Beyers in the 80's in sprints and in the upper 70's when going a route.

Due to Hurricane Katrina, Calder Race Course has canceled one race from its card for Saturday, Aug. 27, and renumbered the last eight races. The original fifth race, the Aspidistra Handicap, has been rescheduled to Labor Day, Sept. 5. In all published Saturday editions of Daily Racing Form, races that appear as Nos. 6 through 13 have now been moved up by one race each and will be run as Nos. 5 through 12. Past performances purchased on-line after 3 p.m on. Friday will reflect the new, correct race numbers.

Tall people can be successful jockeys, too. Mike McCarthy and Mark Johnston, both of whom are 5 feet 9 inches tall, were standouts for many years on the East Coast, and now an apprentice with a very similar build is making his mark on the Kentucky circuit.

Dane Kobiskie, a 26-year-old former Marine, has won 30 races at the Ellis Park meet in Henderson, Ky., placing him second behind Jesus Castanon in the jockey standings. Kobiskie, who is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs 109 pounds, said he is "ecstatic" with how he has progressed this summer.

COLUMBUS, Neb. - Nebraska-bred 3-year-olds compete Sunday in $12,500-added divisons of the Columbus Breeders' Special Handicap. My Hobby heads the filly division and Uncle Beno should be favored in the colts and geldings division.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Given the horses that remain healthy and sound in the 3-year-old division, Saturday's $1 million has come up a solid race with several story lines and handicapping angles.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Horsemen from coast to coast have heaped praise upon throughout his 3-year-old campaign. But trainer Nick Zito paid the undefeated Lost in the Fog the ultimate compliment earlier this week without ever saying a word. Zito opted to enter Bellamy Road in 1 1/4-mile Travers rather than face Lost in the Fog in the seven-furlong King's Bishop Stakes as he had originally intended.

The presence of Lost in the Fog makes the Grade 1, $250,000 King's Bishop the focal point of the undercard on Saturday's 12-race Travers day program at Saratoga.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - One year ago, was outgamed through the stretch and beaten a half-length by the Bobby Frankel-trained Nothing to Lose in the $200,000 Fourstardave Handicap. On Saturday, Silver Tree returns against an even more formidable Frankel foe, two-time Grade 1 winner Leroidesanimaux, in the 2005 edition of the Grade 2 Fourstardave.

Leroidesanimaux carries high weight of 122 pounds and will be heavily favored against only
