MUSKEGON, Mich. - Demagoguery, the 2004 Michigan juvenile champion, will try to make it 2 for 2 at this meet when he faces eight other 3-year-old Michigan-bred colts and geldings in the $45,000 Lansing Stakes at Great Lakes Downs on Monday evening. The six-furlong race is the sixth on the card, which begins at 5 p.m. All starters will carry 122 pounds.

Don Six lived up to his 3-10 favoritism with a wire-to-wire victory in the $65,000 Longfellow Stakes at Monmouth Park, one of three stakes on the day there.

Don Six and jockey Aaron Gryder were chased by 14-1 Bold Days throughout the six-furlong race, winning by 2 1/4 lengths. Bold Days held second by 3 1/4 lengths over Dashboard Drummer, who took third in the field of six 3-year-olds and up.

Cherokee's Boy put away favored Private Lap and just held off the late charge of Separato to win the $100,000 Brandywine Handicap at Delaware Park.

Travis Dunkelberger took Cherokee's Boy straight to the lead in the Brandywine, a 1 1/16-mile race for 3-year-olds and up. They kicked away from Private Lap after setting fractions of 24.02, 47.53, and 1:11.60, but by midstretch Separato and Ouagadougou, the last two in the field of seven down the backstretch, were flying. Cherokee's Boy won by a neck, with Separato 1 3/4 lengths ahead of Ouagadougou.

A very slow pace helped Legal Control and jockey Luis Garcia turn back stretch bids from Monster Chaser and It's Time to Smile and win the $50,000 Deputed Testamony Stakes at Pimlico. Monster Chaser finished a head back of Legal Control in second and a neck in front of It's Time to Smile, who was third in the 1 1/16-mile race for Maryland-bred 3-year-olds.

Mister Coop beat a troubled Barbeau Ruckus when they met a month ago in the six-furlong New Providence Stakes, but the tables were turned Saturday at Woodbine when Barbeau Ruckus nailed Mister Coop on the wire in the $126,600 Steady Growth Stakes.

Barbeau Ruckus set honest early fractions in the 1 1/16-mile event. Mister Coop made a wide bid on the far turn and established a clear lead early in the stretch, but then began to drift in a little. Jockey Todd Kabel took Barbeau Ruckus outside of Mister Coop at the sixteenth pole, and they surged late to prevail by a neck.

United was clearly the best horse in the $54,100 Peppy Addy Stakes at Philadelphia Park, but his last race, a second in the $100,000 Woodlawn at Pimlico, had come going two turns on turf, and there was some question whether he could duplicate it on the main track in the seven-furlong Peppy Addy.

Question answered.

United, under Anthony Black, took the lead out of the gate and was never headed, winning the Peppy Addy by 1 1/2 lengths over North Potomac. Moonshine Man took third in the field of six Pennsylvania-bred 3-year-olds.

Flip Side, under Lori Wydick, defeated Nitty Gritty by a head in the $45,000 J. William Petro Memorial Handicap at Thistledown. Cho Chang finished third in the 1 1/16-mile race for Ohio-bred 3-year-old fillies.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - A class drop and surface change benefit Memorette, the only 3-year-old filly running Sunday at Hollywood Park with established form in graded stakes.

So why isn't Grade 1-placed Memorette - dropping from the Kentucky Oaks - a standout in the Grade 2 Hollywood Oaks? One reason is she is best as a closing sprinter, and the Oaks is at 1 1/16 miles. Another reason is the presence of Leave Me Alone, whose smashing win in the $200,000 Melair Stakes on April 24 stamped her as a rising star.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Buzzards Bay, the winner of the Santa Anita Derby in April and the fifth-place finisher in the Kentucky Derby, will make his next start in the $100,000 Affirmed Handicap at Hollywood Park next Saturday.

Bill Bianco III, the son of co-owner Bill Bianco and the racing manager for Fog City Stable, said Buzzards Bay will use the Grade 3 Affirmed Handicap over 1 1/16 miles as a prep for the $400,000 Swaps Stakes on July 9.

"It will be a good catalyst for bigger things," Bianco said.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Following a blanket finish and a bumping incident steps before the finish line, Rey de Cafe emerged a nose winner over Prince Rahy in the Grade 3, $114,700 for 3-year-olds at Belmont Park on Friday.

As the wire loomed, Prince Rahy, with Eibar Coa aboard, was racing to the outside of Rey de Cafe and Classic Campaign. When Coa hit Prince Rahy right-handed, Prince Rahy bumped with Rey de Cafe, who was in the middle of the trio. Rey de Cafe then bumped Classic Campaign into the rail. Prince Rahy finished second, a neck in front of Classic Campaign.
