The Niner Account, who has won 13 of 21 races, is one of 12 horses entered in the $40,000 Brother Brown, a five-furlong turf race for 3-year-olds and upward Sunday at Remington Park.

The Niner Account's turf record is even better than his overall record, as he is 3 for 4 on the grass. The Brother Brown will be his first start since August, when he was second after a slow break in a five-furlong turf allowance at Louisiana Downs.

Cliff Berry, the leading rider at Remington, has the mount for trainer Martin Lozano.

Trainer Jim McCoy has leading contenders in both divisions of the Kansas Thoroughbred Futurity at the Woodlands on Sunday. He will start Scarlet Jeff, a six-length maiden winner over open company last out, in the colts and geldings division, and probable favorite Wind Twister in the fillies division. Wind Twister has won both of her starts, and last out defeated open company in a conditioned allowance at the Woodlands. She won her maiden at Arlington Park.

ANDERSON, Ind. - Sunday's open and fillies divisions of the $40,000 Hoosier Silver Cup Stakes are new additions to the Hoosier Park stakes schedule. The six-furlong races, which each drew seven entrants, are for 2-year-olds who are eligible via the Indiana Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association stallion season auction.

Purses for the races are projected to be $75,000 each in 2005, according to the ITOBA.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Sam-Son Farm has won the $250,000 Cup and Saucer Stakes an astounding 13 times, including a streak of seven consecutive victories in the 1980's. Sam-Son will try for another Cup and Saucer triumph Saturday at Woodbine, when it runs Go to the Sun in the 1 1/16-mile turf event for Canadian-bred 2-year-olds.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Contention runs deep in the Grade 3, $100,000 Premiers at Hastings on Sunday. Most of the 11 horses entered appear to have a legitimate chance at winning, but they will have to beat the likely favorite and highweight at 121 pounds, Royal Place. He is certainly vulnerable, though. He has never won going 1 3/8 miles, and in his last two starts he has finished out of the money.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Russell Baze usually has at least 100 more victories at this time of year than his total of 235 heading into the weekend.

This will be only the second year in the past 13 that Baze has not recorded 400 victories. A badly broken collarbone last Nov. 30 kept him sidelined for nearly two months, and his win percentage upon his return was well below the usual Baze standards until he healed fully.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Jockey Chance Rollins will be sidelined for eight to 10 weeks after falling from his mount, Boozen Blues, in Friday's fourth race.

Rollins, tied for fourth in the Bay Meadows jockey standings, suffered a displaced fracture of his left wrist, abdominal bruising and a neck strain, when his mount propped badly after bearing out and bumping eventual winner Yellow Out. Boozen Blues had been rank heading into the turn and bore out, losing his action after bumping Yellow Out.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Inish Glora and Classic Stamp, who are leading local candidates for the Oct. 24 E.P. Taylor Stakes at Woodbine, both had their final major tune-ups on the turf training course here Friday morning.

The E.P. Taylor, a 1 1/4-mile turf race for fillies and mares that offers Grade 1 status and a purse of $750,000, is the companion feature to the Grade 1, $1.5 million Pattison Canadian International, a 1 1/2-mile turf race for 3-year-olds and upward.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - The use of embryonic stem cells for research is a hot topic in the upcoming presidential election in the United States, but you won't have a hard time convincing Toni and Mark Cloutier that the use of stem cells in treating injured horses is useful.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Without a marquee horse to promote Saturday at Santa Anita, the Oak Tree Racing Association will rely instead on a backup plan - encourage enthusiastic wagering on an outstanding 10-race card that is the 15th annual .
