The third win gave Baffert a share of the stakes record for training victories with Hall of Famers Jimmy Croll and Sonny Hine.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Jockey Jono Jones and trainer Catherine Day Phillips won the $501,600 for the second year in a row Sunday at Woodbine with Jambalaya, who embarrassed his eight rivals in the third jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Trainer Steve Asmussen believes he made some bad decisions as it pertained to Santana Strings. It is obvious that he has corrected those mistakes.

Santana Strings, under an aggressive ride from Eibar Coa, put away the early pace-setter, Storm Surge in midstretch, then held off a late run from longshot Social Probation to win Sunday's Grade 2, $150,000 by three-quarters of a length at sun-splashed Saratoga.

Crowned King was in high gear down the middle of the track by that time but his rally came up a neck short. The final time for the mile and seventy yards over a fast track was 1:41.93.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - Wildcat Heir returned in spectacular fashion with a 5 3/4 length romp in the $100,000 Teddy Drone Stakes on the Haskell Day undercard Sunday at Monmouth Park.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Bully Bones, unraced since April after a bout with sore shins, overcame a wide trip and a quick pace to win Saturday's $150,000 s at Del Mar.
