In October 2002, Procreate ran for a $2,500 claiming tag at Charles Town. And he didn't even win that race.

Flash forward to Memorial Day 2005 and , now age 7 and in a different barn, could be the horse to beat in the $100,000 Turf Monster Handicap at Philadelphia Park.

The five-furlong turf sprint drew a field of 12 older horses, but because several ran in Saturday's Ben Cohen at Pimlico, no more than eight runners are expected to actually compete in the Turf Monster.

Bettors who got burned when they thought Travelator was a sure thing shipping into Finger Lakes for a statebred stakes a year ago will probably be reluctant to take a short price on her again on Memorial Day.

Although she towers over her competition based on a solid third in a Grade 2 stakes two starts ago, Travelator could be vulnerable again when she returns to Finger Lakes for Monday's Susan B. Anthony Stakes.

Super Frolic, decisive winner of a stakes at Calder three weeks ago, makes his first appearance since being sold when he runs Monday in a $50,000 overnight stakes at Delaware Park. The 1 1/8-mile race drew a field of eight older horses.

In his most recent start, cruised to a 5 3/4-length victory going 1 1/16 miles, earning a 104 Beyer Speed Figure.

In 26 previous races, the 5-year-old Super Frolic raced exclusively in south Florida with the exception of a fifth-place finish in the Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland in 2002.

Kentucky-based trainer Eric Reed has a good shot to sweep both turf stakes on Mountaineer's holiday program.

Reed has the 4-year-old filly Beau Watch, a romping winner of a handicap at Indiana Downs two weeks ago, for the Decoration Day Handicap (race 3). He also trains Doc D, a 6-year-old gelding who returned from a two-month layoff to run second in a money allowance at Keeneland, geared up for the Memorial Day Handicap (race 4).

Both stakes will be contested at one mile and each is worth $75,000.

Umpateedle and Cobra Lady, two extremely consistent older female sprinters, meet for the first time in Tuesday night's $75,000 Ohio Valley Handicap at Mountaineer Race Track.

The six-furlong feature, which goes as race 9 on a 10-race program, drew a field of seven fillies and mares.

The 6-year-old Umpateedle, trained by Mark Shuman for owner Michael Gill, has a career record of 13 wins in 46 starts while competing primarily in New Jersey, Delaware, and West Virginia.

Bruce on the Loose heads a full field of 10 3-year-old Indiana-breds in Tuesday's $40,000 Governor's at 7 1/2 furlongs over the Indiana Downs turf course.

Based on his dirt form, Bruce on the Loose is strictly the one to beat, but questions abound in the Governor's because none of the runners has ever competed on the turf and only two starters have won around two turns.

Bosskiri ($2.90) remained undefeated with an authoritative victory in the $125,000 Lady Angela Stakes at Woodbine.

Bosskiri led throughout the seven-furlong sprint for Ontario-sired 3-year-old fillies, setting slow fractions of 23.41 and 46.50 seconds. She opened up a clear lead at the head of the stretch, then held off Baby Lou to prevail by 3 3/4 lengths in a final time of 1:23.88. Whiskey and Low was another 2 1/4 lengths back in third in the five-horse field.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Class can trump experience at Lone Star Park on Monday, when Grade 1 winner Lion Tamer makes a rare appearance around two turns in the Grade 3, $300,000 Lone Star Park Handicap.

The race will be run over 1 1/16 miles and is the richest of six stakes worth a cumulative $1 million on the annual Lone Star Million Day program. The card is the most lucrative of the meet and accounts for the richest day of racing in Texas.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Valentine Dancer has won two stakes and placed in two others in four starts this year, and has not yet raced over her best distance. That will change on Monday, when the millionaire mare takes on Katdogawn in the Grade 3, $200,000 WinStar Distaff at Lone Star Park.

The one-mile turf race for fillies and mares is one of six stakes that make up the annual Lone Star Million Day program, and it is the first half of a special daily double with the Grade 3 Lone Star Park Handicap.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Top Commander has one of this year's highest Beyer Speed Figures for a sprinter on dirt, but he's a monster on turf, too, and should start as the shortest-priced favorite on the Lone Star Million Day card Monday at Lone Star Park.

Aside from the main events, the Lone Star Park Handicap and the WinStar Distaff, there are four other stakes Monday.
