SAN MATEO, Calif. - Jerry Hollendorfer has wrapped up his 27th straight Bay Meadows training title. On Sunday, he'll saddle Secret Corsage in the $60,000-added Bay Meadows Lassie, as she tries to win 2-year-old filly of the meet honors.

Secret Corsage's eight-length victory at a mile Oct. 13 makes her one of the fillies to beat in the one-mile Lassie. The probable favorite in the field of five is unbeaten Church Editor, who began her career in a $25,000 maiden claimer. Church Editor recently scored her third straight win, capturing the 1 1/16-mile Black Swan at Fairplex.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - With 40 racing days remaining in New York this year, trainer Todd Pletcher is on his way to winning his first year-end training title.

Counting Friday's card, Pletcher has saddled 114 winners this year from 440 starters in New York. Richard Dutrow Jr. is next in the standings, with 77 winners from 331 starters. Dutrow won the title the last two years and Pletcher was second. Pletcher also was the runner-up in 1999 to John Kimmel.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - As usual, trainer John T. Ward Jr. is looking a few steps ahead. Even if Grand Score runs well enough Sunday to win the Iroquois Stakes, Ward said he is inclined to put the colt away for the rest of the year.

"The logical next step would be to run back in the Kentucky Jockey Club," he said, meaning the Grade 2 race that ends the Churchill Downs meet on Nov. 29. "But that would mean we'd probably have to take an early race away from him in Florida, and right now I'm leaning toward advising our camp against that. I think we've got a very nice horse here."

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Trainer Gary Demorest is having a remarkable year. He has won with almost 30 percent of his starters and is fourth in the trainer standings with 22 wins.

Last year Demorest won 17 races from 94 starts, and while those are decent numbers, they are far short of the success he has had this year.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - It's last call for grass racing here Sunday, but a few who were hoping to belly up to the bar for a final shot are being left high and dry.

Three one-mile turf races are carded for Sunday, including the Labeeb and River Memories stakes.

The Labeeb attracted 16 entrants and the River Memories drew 20, but only 14 will be allowed to start in each race. Highweights were preferred, with 3-year-olds allowed five pounds on the scale, and in the case of ties those horses with the lowest lifetime earnings were excluded.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Foot problems haven't stopped Greattobeloved from winning her last five races, all at six furlongs. She goes for six in a row Sunday at Woodbine in the $171,300 Jammed Lovely Stakes, a seven-furlong dash for Canadian-bred 3-year-old fillies.

Greattobeloved's streak began after a short layoff in a June 28 maiden special weight race. She doubled up with another front-running win in an $80,000 claimer, then captured a first-level allow-ance with a three-wide stalking trip in early August.

MIAMI - The 128-day Calder meeting ended Oct. 24, and the final numbers showed distressing declines not only in ontrack attendance and handle but in both the intertrack and interstate simulcast numbers as well. Ontrack attendance and handle were down 4 percent and 6 percent, respectively, from the corresponding dates in 2002, while total ITW and ISW handle was off more than 4.5 percent each.

GROVE CITY City, Ohio - Jessica, upset winner of the $60,000 Best of Ohio Juvenile Fillies last out on Oct. 4, heads a field of nine statebred 2-year-old fillies in Sunday's $50,000 John W. Galbreath Memorial Stakes at Beulah Park.

In the Best of Ohio, Jessica stalked the pace to the stretch of the 1 1/16-mile race and reached the front entering the stretch. She went on to win by two lengths, despite bearing out late under jockey Russ Woolsey.

CHICAGO - Prairie Slam may have run into his ceiling in his last start. My Calabrese hasn't been running at all. One of them - the guessing game is on - could wind up in the winner's circle after the eighth race on Sunday at Hawthorne Race Course.

The eighth isn't the highest-level race on Sunday's card, but it is the best one. The opener is for third-level allowance horses, but it drew a nondescript field of six fillies and mares. By contrast, this second-level allowance, at 6 1/2 furlongs, has a competitive field of 11 - an excellent betting race.

FORT ERIE, Ontario - Original One, the Fort's champion distance horse last year, ran eight times before recording his first 2003 victory here Oct. 19.

He will try to make it two in a row on Sunday.

"It was a flashback to last year," said trainer John Simms of the wire-to-wire 3 1/4-length win. "He ran huge, awesome, almost as if in hand the whole race.

"He's back to where he was at the end of last year when he was beating horses like Chris's Bad Boy [Fort Erie's horse of year] and that type. He was a monster."
