CARENCRO, La. - Officials have announced that the $40,000 B. B. "Sixty" Rayburn Stakes has been rescheduled for Saturday, May 22. Originally, it was carded on last Saturday evening, but the race was among seven races cancelled because of a blown transformer in the lighting system. The problem has since been repaired.

NORTH RANDALL, Ohio - For the first time in Thistledown racing history, there was a three-way tie for leading trainer honors.

As expected, the race came down to Friday's last race. Going into the race, Gary Johnson, Jerry Hollendorfer, and Jeff Radosevich were tied with 12 winners. Johnson was the only one who had a horse in the race Friday, but he finished off the board.

Johnson collected his 24th meet title and holds the record for most meet wins. Hollendorfer won his second meet title, having won in 1992. Radosevich, a former rider, also nailed his second meet crown.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Tracy's Tonka Toy will take a subtle class drop for Friday's Woodbine headliner, a 1 1/16-mile allowance that has drawn several 3-year-olds nominated to the $1 million Queen's Plate.

Tracy's Tonka Toy, a 4-year-old trained by Gord Colbourne, had a productive 2003 campaign, the highlight of which was a third-place finish in the 1 1/8-mile Victoria Park Stakes. He also ran fourth in the Grade 3 Toronto Cup Stakes on turf, and graduated in a $50,000 maiden race by 9 1/2 lengths.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Smoocher didn't perform up to expectations at Gulfstream Park this winter, failing to crack the top three in three outings.

But trainer David Bell said he has reason to believe that Smoocher's better form will resurface in Saturday's Grade 3, $150,000 Marine Stakes, the open 1 1/16-mile feature for 3-year-olds.

Bell, who has been pointing Smoocher for the Marine since returning to Woodbine, can offer no definitive explanation for the colt's Gulfstream performance.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The California Horse Racing Board suspended jockey Patrick Valenzuela for four months on Tuesday for failing to submit to a mandatory drug test in January, but gave him credit for the three months he was suspended earlier this year.

As a result, Valenzuela will serve only one more month of suspension, beginning June 1. Until then, Valenzuela can continue to ride.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Trainer Scott Lake has given his stakes-winning sprinter Shake You Down the summer off, but he could have a capable substitute in My Cousin Matt, who returns to the races for Lake at Belmont Park in Thursday's $56,000 eighth race feature.

, a graded stakes winner, is among six older males entered in the optional claimer at six furlongs. His challengers are Don Six, Multiple Choice, Big E E, Buzzy's Gold, and Bishop Court Hill.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Shake You Down, one of the country's top sprinters, will spend the next 60 to 90 days at a New Jersey farm to recover from a minor injury to his right front ankle.

Scott Lake, Shake You Down's trainer, said the 6-year-old sustained the injury when he stumbled badly coming out of the starting gate in the Bold Ruler Handicap at Belmont Park on May 8. Shake You Down, a front-runner, trailed in the six-horse field after the bad break and finished last as the heavy favorite.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The win was long overdue. Several handicapping factors converged in favor of Hot Market on Sunday at Hollywood Park, and the veteran gelding was good enough to exploit the advantage.

A stakes winner, Hot Market snapped an 18-month, eight-race losing streak to win a $32,000 claiming route by two lengths.

"He's got his problems, but he's a warrior," trainer Craig Lewis said after Hot Market paid a career-high $20 by racing gate to wire. It was his seventh win from 25 starts, and first since the On Trust Handicap Nov. 23, 2002.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Two fillies who were going nowhere in Europe show up in a first-condition allowance on Thursday at Hollywood Park, and handicappers must take both seriously.

AUBURN, Wash. - Frustration and disappointment are standard fare for trainers of Thoroughbreds, and Sariano gave Steve Bullock a double helping of each last year as a 2-year-old.

After winning her debut in spectacular fashion, thus raising Bullock's hopes, Sariano failed to win again in three subsequent starts.
