ELMONT, N.Y. - Smuggler did something her champion mother Inside Information could not 11 years ago, and helped fill one of the few vacancies on Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey's resume.
After stalking a strong pace from fourth position, Smuggler outfinished Spun Sugar through the lane to win Saturday's Grade 1, $300,000 by a neck before 6,712 at steamy Belmont Park. It was two lengths back to favored Summerly in third.
Seeking the Ante, Lady Pegasus, and Winning Season completed the order of finish.
At the head of the stretch of the $500,000 Colonial Turf Cup you could have thrown a blanket over the six-horse field. At the wire, English Channel was all by himself and pulling away.
English Channel lived up to his 2-5 favoritism with a 3 1/2-length score in the Colonial Turf Cup at Colonial Downs. Exceptional Ride closed for second at 12-1 in the 1 3/16-mile turf race for 3-year-olds, and Interpatation (16-1) got up for third.
Eleven were entered in the Colonial Turf Cup, but five scratched and ran in the Kent Breeders' Cup the same day at Delaware Park.
A double disqualification gave Seeking Slew the victory in the Grade 3, $500,000 Saturday afternoon at Delaware Park.
Seeking Slew, a maiden winner last time out at Belmont Park, was third under the wire following a roughly run stretch drive.
Touched by Madness finished first, followed by Spring House, but both were disqualified for separate incidents in the lane.
In the revised order of finish, Chattahoochee War, the 11-10 favorite, was moved from fourth to second. Spring House dropped a spot to third and Touched by Madness went all the way from first to fourth.
NORTH RANDALL, Ohio - The field for Saturday's 71st running of the $350,000 Ohio Derby is begining to shape up, with the Nick Zito-trained Pinpoint one of the leading candidates.
Other probable starters for the Grade 3, 1 1/8-mile derby are Magna Graduate, Straight Line, Hal's Image, and It's Time to Smile. According to racing secretary Billy Couch, Preakness runner-up Scrappy T. was to have worked on Sunday at Colonial downs, and then his trainer, Robert Bailes, was expected to make a decision regarding the Ohio Derby.
MIAMI - Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin won't have to wait very long if he wishes to get his talented 3-year-old Egg Head a rematch against Lost in the Fog. Both horses are nominated to the $300,000 Carry Back Stakes here July 9, although McLaughlin also has several other options for Egg Head if he chooses to avoid another confrontation.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - An allowance horse just a month ago, Kelly's Landing now holds the distinction of having run the fastest six furlongs in Churchill Downs history.
Saturday, he won the Grade 3, $162,450 at Churchill Downs by 1 3/4 lengths over Battle Won, racing six furlongs in a track-record time of 1:07.59. His time eclipsed the record of champion Kona Gold, who had run six furlongs in 1:07.77 in the 2000 Breeders' Cup Sprint.
Trainer Stanley Hough swept both stakes at Monmouth Park on Saturday, when Travelator took the $65,000 West Long Branch for fillies and mares and Concorde's Edge won the $55,000 Gilded Times.
The two winners improved Hough's meet record to 5 wins in 12 starts.
In the West Long Branch, Travelator ($7), under Joe Bravo, swung into contention with a wide move on the turn and outdueled Fortress Hill in the final furlong to win by a nose. The win was Travelator's 11th in 27 career starts.
Ebony Breeze came through as the even-money favorite in the $100,000 My Juliet Stakes at Philadelphia Park, but she had to work hard to do it.
Ebony Breeze ($4), under Heberto Castillo Jr., outdueled Storm Minstrel down the stretch of the six-furlong race to win by a neck. Storm Minstrel had 7 1/4 lengths on Umpateedle, the third-place finisher in the field of five fillies and mares.
