ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Inish Glora's racing days have come to an end.

Inish Glora, an Ontario-bred 6-year-old, was Canada's champion turf filly or mare last season and is a candidate for that honor again this year.

Owned by Bob Costigan, Inish Glora began her career in Vancouver with trainer Kathy Bremner but stayed here with Mac Benson after making her second trip to Woodbine in the fall of 2002.

In her first full campaign here, Inish Glora won 3 of 6 starts, including the Grade 2 Canadian Handicap and the restricted Victoriana Stakes, earning $359,667.

PORTLAND, Ore. - A few minutes before last Saturday's $28,760 Northwest Open Futurity for 2-year-old Quarter Horses was run at 400 yards, a brilliant rainbow appeared in the sky above Portland Meadows.

Julio Felix took a 17-13 lead in the jockey standings over Luis Gonzalez on Monday, when he won 5 of the 9 races, including the first three. Felix won the opener on Mystic Appeal ($5) and the second with Gambling Time ($11) for a $31.60 daily double. In the third he won with Final Endeavor ($12.60) to complete a $180.80 pick three.

Mystic Appeal and Final Endeavor are both owned by Bruce Talisman and trained by Greg Miller. Felix capped off the day by winning the $25.60 late daily double with Matter of Justice ($6.40) and Miss Briteness ($5.60).

The family that trains together wins together. Such has been the case for the Here We Come gelding George Taylor, who picked up his fourth straight win at Remington Park on Monday. He is one of three horses out of the mare Miss Willa Will to win during the current meet.

All of the horses race for their breeder, Rash Barrett, and are trained by Ricky Gustafson. A fourth sibling, Percy Marie, has made one start at the meet and was fifth in August.

"They've all got different sires and all look different, but they've got some habits that are the same," said Gustafson.

Saturday marks the fourth annual Ladies Night at Hoosier Park, headlined by the Female Jockey Challenge, which features 12 female riders competing in six races.

There will be free admission for ladies, and those who are 18 and over will receive a free $2 betting voucher. Jeannine Edwards of ESPN will be on hand for a wagering seminar scheduled from 5:15 to 6 p.m., and there will be a wine-tasting session during the early races from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

The Jockey Challenge will bring in female riders from the Northeast and Canada along with regional riders.

Rockem Sockem was named the Michigan horse of the year last Saturday, when Great Lakes Downs ended its sixth season of racing. A 3-year-old gelding, Rockem Sockem was sensational in winning the Lansing, Spartan, and Dowling stakes this year.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - It would not have been a Breeders' Cup without trouble, and the filly Musical Chimes had one of the day's worst trips while finishing sixth in the BC Mile at Lone Star. By Tuesday morning, the 4-year-old Musical Chimes had already returned to Hollywood Park and was bucking and playing while being ponied on the training track. She acted as if she had not even run.

"She came out of the race well, of course, because she only ran half a furlong," said her frustrated trainer, Neil Drysdale.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - What do you do with a 6-year-old allowance-class gelding who is on a roll? The answer for trainer Gary Mandella is simple - "Put him right back in for the tag."

scored his second consecutive allowance win last month at Santa Anita in a two-other-than allowance on the hillside turf. Mandella could have waited for a three-other-than, but chose to run him at the same level Thursday at Hollywood Park in an N2X/optional $62,500 claiming race. Pragmatico is in for the claiming price.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - The condition of Aqueduct's grass course was less-than-perfect on Tuesday, the day entries were taken for Thursday. As a result, the only grass race carded for Thursday is the $60,000-added Manila Stakes for 3-year-olds.

Grass racing was canceled Tuesday because of uneven patches on the course, which raised safety concerns. With no racing on Wednesday, the track crew had two days to try to correct the problem.

Further complicating matters is that rain is forecast for Thursday. The potential for wet weather drew four main-track-only horses.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Honorable Cat could vault past $200,000 in earnings when she races in a full field of runners in Thursday's featured ninth race at Churchill Downs.

A 5-year-old Honor Grades mare with $179,337 in earnings, she rates as the class of the $60,400 optional claiming race at a mile on turf.

Before running a close second against allowance company last month at Keeneland, Honorable Cat placed in the Pleasant Temper Stakes at Kentucky Downs and also in the Grade 3 Eatontown Handicap at Monmouth in July.
