Rain or shine and no matter the course condition, Wire Bound left little doubt who is the king of the local 3-year-old turf division with a decisive 4 3/4-length victory over Cervelo in Saturday's $40,000 Sir Omni Stakes at Calder Race Course.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Artie Schiller had been on a fairly regular schedule of running every three to four weeks during the spring and summer. He enters Sunday's $200,000 Jamaica Handicap at Belmont Park with 47 days in between starts.
Whether the time in between races is significant or not, Artie Schiller will be a deserving and heavy favorite over five others in the Grade 2 Jamaica for 3-year-old turf horses.
ELMONT, N.Y. - Cologny and Travelator will run back in Sunday's $100,000-added Schenectady at Belmont Park, eight days after finishing second and third, respectively, in the Grade 3 Floral Park.
If the quick turnaround takes its toll on Cologny and Travelator, Sugar Punch has what it takes to beat her more seasoned rivals in the Schenectady, which is for New York-bred fillies and mares at six furlongs.
ARCADIA, Calif. - As trainer Bob Baffert's top Breeders' Cup hopeful, Roman Ruler is likely to dictate the level of success Baffert will have in October.
One of the nation's top 2-year-old males, Roman Ruler is booked for two starts next month - the $200,000 Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 3 and the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Lone Star Park Oct. 30.
But Roman Ruler is coming off the only loss of his career, a neck defeat to Declan's Moon in the Grade 2 Del Mar Futurity over seven furlongs on Sept. 8.
POMONA, Calif. - The curtain closes Sunday on the 2004 Los Angeles County Fair race meet, but not before trainer Doug O'Neill and jockey Martin Pedroza tighten the grips they've held throughout the 17-day Fairplex Park meeting.
O'Neill set the single-meet record for wins by a trainer with a victory by Blairs Roarin Star on Friday, and he'll look to add to that total when he saddles Jake Skate in Sunday's $100,000 Ralph M. Hinds Pomona Invitational Handicap. Blairs Roarin Star was O'Neill's 14th winner this meet, breaking Mel Stute's record of 13 set in 1986.
POMONA, Calif. - Garrett Gomez's comeback has hit a snag, and instead of riding the closing-weekend race cards at the Los Angeles County Fair, he will spend the weekend in the Orange County jail.
According to his agent, Jim Pegram, Gomez was on "probation hold" in Orange County because of a miscommunication with a probation officer. Pegram and track stewards say they do not believe Gomez is in trouble, and Pegram expects the matter to be resolved early next week.
BOSSIER CITY, La. - Yessirgeneralsir faced some of the best horses in the country this summer at Saratoga, so he will be taking a drop in class Sunday for the $150,000 Louisiana Downs Breeders' Cup Handicap at Louisiana Downs. But there is a twist.
will be making his first start on turf in the 1 1/16-mile race, which has drawn some the region's best grass horses, including the defending champ, Warleigh, as well as Maysville Slew and Waupaca.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Blonde Executive ran them off their feet last time out, winning the Grade 3 Duchess Stakes in one of the gamest efforts in recent Woodbine history. She will try to notch her fourth stakes of the meeting in Sunday's $132,250 La Prevoyante, a one-mile turf race for Ontario-sired 3-year-old fillies.
Blonde Executive won the Lady Angela Stakes in May before ending up fourth against older foes in the Ballade Stakes. She subsequently showed a fondness for the grass in the seven-furlong Passing Mood Stakes, leading all the way as the 124-pound highweight.
Charles Town Races in West Virginia was scheduled to resume racing on Saturday after a 10-day hiatus because of renovations to the racing surface.
Charles Town had been closed since Sept. 15 because of problems with the track's drainage system. Over the past 10 days, workers at the track removed the topsoil of the racing surface and added more base material in the hope of ridding the track of uneven spots caused by insufficient drainage, according to a spokesman for the track's parent company, Penn National Inc.
