EDMONTON, Alberta - Our Slewshan, favored in each of her four starts this year, heads a field of six 3- and 4-year-old fillies sprinting 6 1/2 furlongs in Sunday's Northlands Park headliner. Our Slewshan's rider in this allowance race, for nonwinners-of-two, will be Quincy Welch. She has the rail.

Trained by Dale Saunders for co-owners Crystal Meadows, Dinger Investments, and Wayne Kraft, Our Slewshan has not been worse than second this year.

AUBURN, Wash. - Nine 2-year-old fillies vie for divisional leadership in Sunday's six-furlong Angie C. Stakes, the first stakes of the season for the juvenile set.

The two maiden special weight winners in the field - Ask Kathy and Secret Flame - are expected to contend for favoritism. Two other maiden special weight winners - Musical Wine and The Case Queen - were not entered because neither was eligible for the Northwest Race Series, of which the Angie C. is a part.

Jockey Tim Doocy is expected to be out of action for six to eight weeks after suffering a separated pelvis and internal injuries during the loading process of Thursday's first race at Prairie Meadows.

Doocy, who has won the last three riding titles at Prairie Meadows, was aboard a first-time starter, Chukkaluk, who reared up as she was being loaded. Doocy's right foot was stuck in the stirrup, and he was tossed to the ground in an awkward manner.

AUBURN, Wash. - Most fans will see Sunday's six-furlong Angie C. Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Emerald Downs as a rematch between Ask Kathy and Secret Flame, and for good reason.

Ask Kathy, a daughter of Preakness winner Louis Quatorze from the barn of trainer Steve Bullock, won the fastest five-furlong race for 2-year-olds at the meeting on June 4, getting the distance in 57.40 seconds to prevail by 2 3/4 lengths over Secret Flame and five other maiden special weight runners. The winning Beyer Speed Figure was a 59.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - A total of 118 horses have been nominated to the eight races that make up British Columbia Cup Day. All eight races, seven stakes and a starter handicap, are restricted to B.C.-breds. B.C. Cup is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 1.

With that many horses nominated, it would seem that full fields would be the order of the day. But racing secretary Lorne Mitchell will have a hard time convincing some trainers to enter against Roscoe Pito in the Classic and against Alabama Rain in the colts division of the Stallion Stakes.

Trainer Larry Jones said his star filly Island Sand came out of her victory in the $1 million Delaware Handicap in good order and that she will train at Ellis Park until about a week before her next race, the Grade 1 Personal Ensign Handicap on Aug. 26 at Saratoga.

Jones said he has fielded a steady stream of congratulatory calls since Island Sand drew clear to win the Grade 2 Del Cap by 3 3/4 lengths.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - Joe Bravo remained hospitalized Friday after breaking his collarbone in a Thursday spill at Monmouth Park.

The meet's leading rider, Bravo was taken to Monmouth Medical Center for treatment.

"He is still body-sore," Bravo's agent, Danny Mellul, said Friday afternoon. "They are going to wean him off the painkillers and send him home tonight or tomorrow."

The injury put a crimp in another standout season for Bravo on the Jersey Shore. He holds a huge lead in the standings in a bid for an 11th title at the track.

BOSSIER CITY, La. - An evenly matched group of nine fillies and mares line up for Sunday's $50,000 Delicada Stakes.

, third in the Suthern Accent Stakes and fourth in the Fleur de Lis Stakes earlier this season, may be a slight favorite in the 1 1/16-mile Delicada. She has been a model of consistency for trainer Steve Asmussen, and her front-running style should fit nicely in Sunday's headliner, as there is not much early foot in the field.

After two authoritative wins on the turf at River Downs in May, including a victory in an open three-other-than allowance, Fierce Cat appeared to have for the taking the statebred grass stakes at River Downs this summer.

VALLEJO, Calif. - In the words of Yogi Berra, trainer Carmela Anderson is hoping for deja vu all over again in Sunday's $50,000 Solano County Juvenile Fillies Stakes at the Solano County Fair.

Three years ago, Anderson won the race with Market Garden after the filly won her maiden at Pleasanton. On Sunday, Anderson will send out Pleasanton graduate Aloha Mangos Kitty to meet five rivals in the 5 1/2-furlong stakes for 2-year-old Cal-bred fillies.

"It's nice to think she could do the same. Her mother ran for me," Anderson said, referring to the stakes-placed Aloha Mangos.
