When Crossing Point opened up a two-length lead entering the stretch of the $75,000 Challedon Stakes at Pimlico, it looked as if a gate-to-wire victory could be in the making. But Eibar Coa, the rider of Aggadan, had everything under control. Coa didn't ask Aggadan for his best until midstretch, and when he did, Aggadan quickly reeled in Crossing Point and went on to a 1 1/4-length victory in the six-furlong race. Private Opening got up for second, 1 3/4 lengths ahead of a fading Crossing Point.

Unforgettable Max exerted his class in the $54,500 Shecky Greene Stakes at Delaware Park, leading all the way for a three-length victory over Hydrogen, with Spicy Stuff another eight lengths back in third in the 1 1/16-mile race.

Owned by Raymond Dweck and trained by Lupe Preciado, Unforgettable Max ($4.80) covered the distance in 1:43.02 under Roberto Alvarado. Unforgettable Max has now won 4 of 16 races and earned just shy of $300,000.

Winter Garden ($3.80) won her third stakes of the Woodbine meeting in Saturday's $137,750 Ontario Fashion Handicap.

Whistling Maid led the way in the six-furlong dash for fillies and mares, through an opening quarter 22.28 seconds. Winter Garden came along the rail from a stalking position to assume command under jockey David Clark through a half in 44.62, and then disposed of Big Cheque in the stretch en route to a 1 3/4-length score over a closing El Prado Essence. The final time was 1:10.35.

Punch the Odds held off Who's the Cowboy to win the colts and geldings division of the New Jersey Futurity at The Meadowlands on Friday night by two lengths.

Punch the Odds, a 2-year-old trained by Eddie Broome, ran the six furlongs over the good main track in 1:10.36 and returned $3.20. Sonawho was another 2 3/4 lengths back in third. There was no show wagering on the five-horse race, which had a purse of $66,067.

Dale Baird finally got to change ball caps Friday night.

Baird, the winningest trainer in Thoroughbred history, traded in his signature electric blue cap, which commemorated his 8,000th career victory on July 22, 1999, for a spiffy new black model embossed with the number 9,000 following Frazee's Folly's victory in the eighth race at Mountaineer Race Track.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - They're not running scared from Lady Tak; they're just running, period. Twelve fillies and mares passed the entry box to race Sunday in the $200,000 Churchill Downs Distaff, a Grade 2 handicap that surely will have Lady Tak as a solid favorite but drew a host of intriguing challengers nonetheless.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - So much for the marquee horses. Bedanken and Honor in War, both bet down to odds-on favoritism when dipping into the allowance ranks, were nowhere to be found in their respective races Friday at Churchill Downs, where longshots dominated throughout the afternoon.

Bedanken, a three-time stakes winner this year, finished fifth of seven fillies and mares in the fourth race, a $68,300 turf allowance won by Mymich, a 34-1 shot.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Quiet Honor, who was pre-entered for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Lone Star Park last month but was not entered, was purchased privately recently by prominent owners Bob and Beverly Lewis.

Quiet Honor was previously owned by Bearing Point Ventures and Andy and Paula Capestro. In her lone career start, Quiet Honor scored an eye-catching five-length win in a maiden race over 6 1/2 furlongs at Santa Anita Oct. 10. She was always near the front and was timed in 1:17.86.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Two new shooters from Europe enliven the $60,000 Audrey Skirball-Kenis Stakes on Sunday at Hollywood Park, where a solid cast entered the nine-furlong turf race for 3-year-old fillies.

arrived from France one month ago with a 4-for-14 record and several close finishes in listed stakes, an indication she is well spotted in her U.S. debut. But her trainer, Leonard Powell, said, "The race looks very tough for a $60,000 stake."

Or is it?

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - It's been a long drought for Ma Femme, who hasn't visited the winner's circle since the 2003 Perfect Arc at Aqueduct.

Ma Femme's trainer, John Hertler, is hoping the mare can snap her losing streak in Sunday's $100,000 Perfect Arc. Ten fillies and mares, all sired by New York stallions, drew into the main body of the mile turf race.

Last year, won the Perfect Arc by 2 1/4 lengths over Board Elligible, who is entered to run in the Perfect Arc if it is run on the dirt.
