MIAMI - The old adage of pace making the race was never more evident than at Calder on Saturday, when Pampered Princess was surprisingly allowed to control the $40,000 The Draw In Stakes from start to finish en route to a 6 1/2-length victory over 1-2 favorite D'Wildcat Speed.

On a day the young rider James Graham could do just about nothing wrong, Home of Stars showed he is just about as good on the turf as he is on dirt. One of the best Illinois-bred dirt route horses in recent seasons, Home of Stars beat a decent field of open horses in the $40,000 John Henry Stakes on Saturday at Arlington Park.

For Graham - ho hum - it was still another victory, his fourth on the day after only eight races.

"Everything went according to plan today," Graham said.

The last four Thoroughbred races were canceled on Friday night at Prairie Meadows after the jockeys complained that the racing surface was uneven near the quarter pole.

The riders said a hole began to develop near the quarter pole on Thursday evening after an afternoon thunderstorm dumped nearly two inches of rain on Altoona, Iowa, where Prairie Meadows is located.

Jockey Duane Salvino rode his 1,000th winner Friday at Columbus when he guided Princess Waki ($14.80) to victory in the fifth race.

Hot Storm, ridden by Jesus Castanon, drew clear in the final furlong after pressing all the pace and captured the 17th running of the $63,750 Weekend Delight Stakes on Saturday at Turfway Park in Florence, Ky.

Hot Storm, a 3-year-old Stormy Atlantic filly trained by Dallas Stewart, returned $11.80 as fourth choice in a field of nine fillies and mares. Dewey's Trick, a 21-1 shot, finished 3 1/2 lengths behind the winner in second, and it was another three lengths back in third to Born to Dance. Injustice, the 9-5 favorite, was fourth.

Last year, Umpateedle was no match for Ebony Breeze in the Grade 3 at Delaware Park. On Saturday, it was the other way around.

Umpateedle, a 6-year-old mare owned by Michael Gill and trained by Mark Shuman, pulled a 10-1 upset in the $200,000 Endine, a race in which she finished second in 2004. Sensibly Chic, the 2-1 second choice, was 2 1/2 lengths behind Umpateedle in second, followed by Ebony Breeze, the 6-5 favorite.

Talk about consistent - the 6-year-old gelding Honorable Man, who has finished out of the money only once in his career, became a stakes winner with a 3 1/4-length victory in the $100,000 Charles H. Hadry Stakes at Laurel Park.

Racing in seventh early under Steve Hamilton, Honorable Man ($12.60) swung five wide and drew off in the stretch as pacesetter Saay Mi Name gave way to be second. Cherokee's Boy was two lengths behind Saay Mi Name in third.

Honorable Man covered one mile in 1:36.77 for trainer Ronald Cartwright and owners Albert and Eric Wirth.

Due to Win Again finished strongly after stalking the early pace and successfully defended her title in the $100,000 River Cities Breeders' Cup at Louisiana Downs. Chitchat Chitchat, the 6-5 favorite, turned in a late run to be second, followed by longshot Go Girlfriend Go.

Ridden by Guy Smith, Due to Win Again ($8.40) raced closest to pacesetter Slewpy's Storm, then put the early speed away and drew clear, having enough left to hold the runner-up safe at the wire by 1 1/2 lengths. The final time for 1 1/16 miles on firm turf was 1:42.40.

Fifth Overture ($3) scored her fourth victory in a row in the Grade 3, $175,800 at Woodbine.

Fifth Overture stalked the pace along the inside under Robert Landry, as 16-1 shot La Trillium set splits of 22.83 and 45.72 seconds in the seven-furlong contest.

Fifth Overture came between rivals on the turn and hit the front at the eighth pole before drawing off for a three-length score. Silver Bird rallied for second, and La Trillium easily held third in the seven-horse field of fillies and mares. The final time was 1:21.88.

Freeroll, the longest shot in a nine-horse field, rallied from last position while wide to win the $60,000 Lighthouse Stakes at Monmouth Park under jockey Julian Pimentel. Freeroll was up in the final furlong to win by 1 1/4 lengths over Palaestra, who in turn had 1 1/2 lengths on third-place finisher Ballroom Deputy.

Freeroll ($55.60) was making her first start since winning an off-the-turf allowance at Monmouth by seven lengths on June 30 as the even-money choice. Trained by Mark Hennig, she covered 1 1/16 miles over a fast track in 1:43.34.
