Robert Quigley, a longtime racing executive in New Jersey, and Wanda Hooper will be married on Dec. 30 at The Church by the Sea in Bal Harbour, Fla.

Quigley, 75, served 24 years as the vice president and general manager of Atlantic City Race Course. He then joined the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority as general manger of racing. In that position he supervised construction of The Meadowlands and assembled its staff before the track's opening in September 1976. He later served as president of Garden State Park.

Citing winter storm conditions, Turfway Park canceled the nine-race live card scheduled for Wednesday evening.

A winter storm moved in on the northern Kentucky area late Tuesday, and by midday Wednesday the town of Florence, Ky., home to Turfway, had declared a snow emergency.

The track planned to resume live racing on Thursday, although the National Weather Service was predicting that the area could get as much as 13 inches of snow by then.

The facility remained open Wednesday for simulcasting.

NEW ORLEANS - Turf stakes winners My Misty Princess, May Gator, Fun House, and Chance Dance are set to clash Thursday in the $60,000 Furl Sail stakes for fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles on the turf.

, winner of a pair of $100,000 races at Lone Star Park in her last two starts, the Yellow Rose Breeders' Cup on Oct. 3 and the Bluebonnet on Oct. 31, will carry 120 pounds in the Furl Sail and break from post 7 under Jamie Theriot. Dallas Keen trains the 4-year-old My Misty Princess for Melva Lou Strehler.

NEW ORLEANS - Smooth as Silver registered the fastest six-furlong time of the Fair Grounds meet Sunday, going the distance in 1:10.03 and beating stablemate Big Bold Sweep by a nose in the feature race, an optional claimer worth $36,000. He was awarded a 102 Beyer Speed Figure, 1 point shy of his career best, earned in September at Mountaineer Racetrack.

Delta Downs resumed racing Tuesday after track officials and jockeys came to an agreement over ambulance services, an issue that led to the cancellation of racing at the track Saturday night. Instead of being taken automatically to the nearest hospital, jockeys can now go to their hospital of choice for care if they are involved in an accident. The agreement was reached during a series of meetings that began Saturday and continued through Monday.

Trainer Ramon Gonzalez said he hopes to run Cajun Pepper in the $500,000 WinStar Derby on April 2, and the first big push toward that goal will come this weekend. Cajun Pepper, who is undefeated, will attempt to win his fifth straight race in the $161,324 at Sunland Park on Sunday.

"I think he's kind of a special colt," said Gonzalez, who is a six-time title winner at Sunland.

Attendance and handle at the Hollywood Park fall meeting, which ended Monday, dropped slightly from the 2003 meeting.

When statewide, interstate, and account wagering figures were included, the all-sources handle averaged $8,944,323, a drop of one-half of 1 percent. There was surprising growth of 1.3 percent in intertrack handle in the state, a category that has been in decline in recent years.

The ontrack average handle of $1,313,553 was a decline of 2 percent. On many weekdays, ontrack handle failed to reach $1 million.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Rene Douglas landed his first riding title at a Southern California track during the Hollywood Park fall meeting that ended last Monday, leaving the 37-year-old rider more anxious for the start of the Santa Anita winter-spring meeting on Sunday.

Douglas was winless on the final program, but finished with 37 wins, two more than Tyler Baze.

"I didn't want to think about it until today because Tyler was getting close to me," Douglas said. "It's a thrill. It's a big deal."

MIAMI - In his last few starts, Pies Prospect had no luck at all. In last Saturday's $100,000 at Calder, he didn't need any.

Pies Prospect sat a perfect trip behind the pacesetting Hear No Evil, easily moved to command when given his head by jockey Edgar Prado entering the stretch, then drew off with authority through the final furlong en route to an easy 8 1/2-length victory over Twilight Road. He earned a 110 Beyer Speed Figure.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Festival, who was soundly beaten in her last 10 starts in Japan and the United States, scored an upset in Monday's $150,000 at Hollywood Park.

The race was transferred from turf to dirt on Sunday after a group of jockeys said the turf course was unsafe. The turf course was not used in the final two days of the meeting.

As a result of the surface switch, leading contenders Belleski, Janeian, Katdogawn and Hoh Buzzard were withdrawn. Penny's Fortune, a stakes winner earlier in the meeting, had been previously scratched.
