ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Neither Aud nor the rider Brian Peck has done much racing at Arlington Park this summer. They have made the most of their infrequent visits.

EAST BOSTON, Mass. - With questions regarding the future of racing in New England hovering, Suffolk Downs opens a six-week, 25-day fall meet with an eight-race card Monday.

Monday's $50,000 Derby Trial at Fairplex has attracted a field of 10 3-year-olds, nine of whom made their last start at Del Mar. The stranger to the group is Elusive Indian, a 7 1/2-length maiden winner in his last start at Saratoga in New York.

MIAMI - Demeteor was so impressive winning his first two career starts, owner-trainer Ken Hoffman wasted little time stepping the speedy gelding up against graded stakes competition, pitting him against the likes of Shake You Down and Private Horde in the Smile Sprint Handicap.

Demeteor ultimately proved no match for two of the top ranked sprinters in the country, finishing a well beaten 12th in the Grade 3 Smile.

MIAMI - Formal Miss confirmed her status as the leading 3-year-old turf filly on the grounds with a convincing 3 3/4-length victory over arch-rival Dakota Light and 10 other rivals in Saturday's $75,000 Judy's Red Shoes Stakes at Calder.

Spring Cat lived up to her advance billing when she made the lead soon after the start and went on to a 3 1/4-length win over five 2-year-old Ohio-bred rival fillies in the $35,000, six-furlong Emerald Necklace stakes at Thistledown on Saturday. Switcheroo chased the winner all the way and was clearly second best, finishing some 6 1/2 lengths in front of Above All Others.

Spring Cat ($2.40), trained by Joseph Martin, recorded her third consecutive win and back-to-back stakes victories. Under Huber Villa Gomez, she ran the six furlongs in 1:11.98 over the fast racing strip.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Favored Miss Crissy found room in the stretch and went on to capture the $137,125 La Prevoyante Stakes at Woodbine on Saturday by 1 1/2 lengths.

Miss Crissy saved ground on the turn, stalking front-running Cricket Wicket in the one-mile turf race. She was angled into the two path for the stretch run by jockey Steven Bahen, hit the front at the three-sixteenths pole, and held off a bid from Kabul. My Sweet Tooch finished third in the 10-horse field of Ontario-sired 3-year-old fillies. The final time was 1:36.28.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Canadian Triple Crown winner Wando will try to meet the challenge of Grade 1 competition Sunday at Woodbine in the seventh running of the $1 million Atto Mile.

Two other first-rate turf stakes are on Sunday's 11-race card at Woodbine - the Grade 2 Summer for 2-year-olds, and the Grade 2 Canadian for fillies and mares - but the Atto, with its strong local contingent, is perhaps the most anticipated race of the meeting.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Last month, Cuvee looked super when he won the Grade 2 Saratoga Special by 7 1/2 lengths and set a stakes record. On Sunday at Belmont Park, Cuvee will be required to carry his speed a mile in the $200,000 Futurity, a race his connections are using as a stepping-stone to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.

The Grade 1 Futurity shares the card with the Grade 1 Matron for 2-year-old fillies. Both races will be shown live during an espn2 telecast that begins at 3:30 p.m. Eastern.

Cuvee, the likely and deserving favorite, faces six in the Futurity.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Trainer Todd Pletcher has won five out of the 10 stakes run this year in New York for 2-year-olds. He has the opportunity to add to that number on Sunday at Belmont Park when he saddles three 2-year-old fillies in the Grade 1 Matron, as well as Value Plus in the Grade 1 Futurity.

Pletcher's Matron starters, who are not coupled in the wagering, are Lokoya, Marylebone, and Sisti's Pride.

The Pletcher trio will face five others in the $200,000 Matron.
