INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Siren Lure, claimed for $50,000 in May at Bay Meadows, won his first stakes in Sunday's $79,500 Robert Kerlan Memorial Handicap at Hollywood Park.
The victory extended Siren's Lure's winning streak to 3, which includes two five-furlong turf sprints in Northern California.

PLEASANTON, Calif. - Taking advantage of the fact he was the lone speed in the race, Yougottawanna ($6) bounced to the lead and was never seriously challenged as he won the Alamedan Handicap at the Alameda County Fair on Sunday.
The race unfolded exactly as trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, who also saddled runner-up Adreamisborn, expected.
"Speed has been really dominant here, the last couple days especially," Hollendorfer said. "It looked like he would be the lone speed, and he made the lead easy."
MIAMI, Fla. - Madcap Escapade bounced back from her unexpected defeat in the Grade 1 Humana Distaff Handicap with a dominating performance in Sunday's $500,000 at Calder. Madcap Escapade led throughout en route to a 5 1/4 length victory over the previously undefeated Happy Ticket who suffered her first loss in 10 career starts.
MIAMI, Fla. - Trainer J. Eric Kruljac thought he'd lost, owner Stephen Mitchell was certain he'd won and just about everyone else in attendance wouldn't have been surprised if the placing judges hung up a dead heat for win following Sunday's pulsating renewal of the $300,000 at Calder.
In the end, Mitchell proved correct after his filly Leave Me Alone won the tight photo by a nose over Hide And Chic to capture the Grade 3 Azalea for 3-year-old fillies.
MIAMI, Fla. - Jockeys and trainers often go into races with plans in mind that never comes to fruition once the gates open.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Top Ten List made her turf debut a winning one Sunday at Woodbine, taking the $166,350 Ontario Damsel Stakes in front-running style under apprentice Corey Fraser.
Top Ten List recorded splits of :21.98 and :45.10 seconds in the six and a half-furlong event, while being stalked by 3-5 favorite See the Wind. Fraser dropped his whip early in the stretch, but managed to coax Top Ten List home on top by a length, in a final time of 1:15.75.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Two rounds of boisterous cheers went up after the $176,250 Bashford Manor Stakes was run as the closing-day feature Sunday at Churchill Downs.

MIAMI, Fla. - Lost in the Fog kept his record unblemished when cruising to his eighth straight victory in Sunday's $300,000 at Calder.
