HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Trainer Steve Asmussen was looking to get some black type on Savorthetime's resume, which was why he shipped the 6-year-old mare from her winter home at Fair Grounds to Gulfstream Park for Saturday's $100,000 . His decision proved to be a wise one after Savorthetime rallied to a 2 1/2-length victory over the pacesetting Cologny to win the Grade 3 dash.

Jockey Tracy Hebert sent Miss Confusion out to the lead, and was pressed by favored Storm's Darling. The top two ran the quarter in 23.72 seconds and the half in 47.27 with the others content to sail along behind.

It took Winston Thompson some time to get Electric Light in the clear in Saturday's Pasco Stakes, but once the rider swung the colt to the outside, it was all over but the shouting.

Captain Lindsay rallied along the outside late to gain the place by a half-length, with Dazzling Dr. Cevin third, three-quarters of a length to the good of fourth-place finisher Oak Forest.
