Bright Gold ($5.80) got the jump on heavily favored With Patience and drew off to a 3 1/4-length victory in the $60,000 Somethingroyal Stakes at Colonial Downs.

Euro Code ($3.80) easily handled his first stakes assignment by leading wire to wire in a 7 1/2-length victory over four other 3-year-old sprinters in the $58,100 Oh Say at Delaware Park.

Ridden by Jeremy Rose for trainer Scott Lake, Euro Code had scored a similarly easy victory to clear his first allowance condition two races ago, but was narrowly beaten by Pointsman five weeks ago in a two-other-than allowance.

Pointsman, the 8-5 second choice after winning back-to-back races, was edged out for second this time, finishing a head behind Captain Corelli.

Sixteen Grand improved her record to 2 for 2, finishing strongly under leading rider John Jacinto to capture the $50,000 Southern Belle Stakes for Louisiana-bred 2-year-old fillies at Louisiana Downs. Tortuga Flats finished second with 6-5 favorite Kourtneysfirst third.

Jacinto placed Sixteen Grand ($8.40) three wide and with the pace early in the 5 1/2-furlong sprint before asking for some run when straightening for home. She responded well and drew clear by almost two lengths in a time of 1:05.64 over a fast strip.

Edenwold ($9.60) outran 2-5 favorite Key West Breeze in the stretch to notch his first stakes in the $135,650 Colin for 2-year-olds at Woodbine.

Edenwold dueled inside on the lead with Top Authority and Key West Breeze through fractions of 22.47 and 45.48 seconds in the six-furlong sprint.

Key West Breeze had a slim lead exiting the turn, but then began to lug in badly. Edenwold took control in the final furlong, and won by a length in a final time of 1:11.04. Top Authority finished another three lengths back in third in the six-horse field.

Up 'n Blumin proved worthy of her 2-5 favoritism with a front-running four-length win in Friday's $28,600 Falls Amiss Handicap on day two of Horsemen's Park's four-day Festival of Racing before a crowd estimated at more than 12,000 by track officials.

Ridden by R.D. Williams, Up 'n Blumin opened a clear early lead, then continued strongly into the stretch to defeat five other Nebraska-bred fillies and mares in the one-mile race. She covered the distance in 1:40.80 over a fast track and returned $2.80.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Purim is a big horse all over. His head is no exception. Gun Salute seemed to have Purim measured in the stretch of the on Saturday at Arlington, rallying up to Purim's flank at the sixteenth pole and gradually edging toward the lead. But one major body part still stood in the way.

"How big is that horse's head, anyway?" asked Kenny McCarthy, assistant to Gun Salute's trainer, Bill Mott. "I didn't think we were ever going to get by."

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Last year, when Cool Conductor saw daylight during a race he would make a run for it, dragging his rider along with him. That is no way to run for a turf horse that needs to save something for the finish, and Cool Conductor was worse for it.

MIAMI - As is often the case around these parts during a summer racing season that seems to drag on endlessly, many of the better horses on the grounds head north for greener pastures, with the bulk of the stakes schedule at Calder geared toward 2-year-olds in the fall.

Among the local stars looking elsewhere for racing opportunities in August are Pampered Princess and Silver Wagon, the undisputed leaders of their respective divisions.

VALLEJO, Calif. - The gates close Monday at the Solano County Fair, and the feature epitomizes the type of racing that for the most part has dominated here in recent years: a $12,500 claimer at one mile.

With the main portion of the fair closing Sunday, Monday's racing offers free parking and free admission. And while the seven-horse feature is rather mundane, it is also an interesting betting race, with two runners coming north from Hollywood Park, three horses running for new barns, and one coming off a 14-month layoff.

MUSKEGON, Mich. - Exclusivenjoyment and Rockem Sockem, who ran off and hid from their competition in an allowance race two weeks ago, face eight rivals in Tuesday's 39th running of the Michigan Breeders' Cup at Great Lakes Downs.

The $50,000 Breeders' Cup, a 1 1/16-mile race restricted to Michigan-breds, ages 3 and up, goes as race 5 on a nine-race card that begins at 5 p.m. Eastern.
