Favorites were upset by blowout winners Saturday night in both divisions of the $45,000 Texas Stallion Stakes at Retama Park near San Antonio. Lady Mallory($4.20) was a 10.75-length winner over 4-5 favorite Eagle Lake in the fillies and mares division, while Fitzroyal($5.80) was a seven and three quarter length winner of the male division over even-money favorite Most Feared.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Touch of the Blues ($12.90) staked his claim as the leading turf miler on the continent, with a determined half-length victory over Soaring Free in the seventh running of the Grade 1 Atto Mile Sunday at Woodbine.

Kent Desormeaux rode Touch of the Blues for Gainsborough Farm and trainer Neil Drysdale, the same combination which captured the 1998 Atto with Labeeb. Drysdale also sent out Hawksley Hill to finish first in the 1999 Atto, in which he was disqualified and placed fourth.

ELMONT, N.Y. - It was another case of the reserve stepping in for the starter and playing a terrific game.

Marylebone, who was only entered in Sunday's Grade 1 Matron Stakes at Belmont Park when Whoopi Cat developed a foot bruise, outfinished Lokoya in the stretch to win the $200,000 by a nose at Belmont Park. It was another 5 3-4 lengths back to Eye Dazzler in third.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Cuvee put in his third dominant performance in a graded stakes this year and established himself as a major contender for the Breeders' Cup Juvenile by rolling to an 8 1-4-length victory over Value Plus in Sunday's Grade 1, $200,000 at Belmont Park.

Cuvee, who is now 4 for 5 lifetime, added the Futurity to authoritative victories in the Grade 3 Kentucky Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs in May, and the Grade 2 Saratoga Special in August. Cuvee's only loss came in the Grade 2 Bashford Manor, when he endured a brutal trip while finishing third behind Limehouse.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Jockey Todd Kabel registered his second Grade 2 stakes win of the afternoon as he guided Inish Glora to a 1.75 length victory here in Sunday's sixth race, the $329,000 Canadian Handicap.

Inish Glora, trained here by Mac Benson, bobbled at the start but then relaxed nicely in third place behind pacesetters Ginger Gold and First Quarter before making her move heading into the stretch of the about 1 1/8 mile turf race for fillies and mares.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Longshot Bachelor Blues make all the running under Todd Kabel in the Grade 2 for 2-year-olds at Woodbine Sunday.

Bachelor Blues set uncontested fractions of :23.45 and :46.26, while being stalked by Grand Heritage and Bon Marie, in the one-mile turf event. He opened up a clear lead in the stretch, where he appeared to loaf, but was able to hold off a charging Victory Light to prevail by a neck. Commendation finished third, but was disqualified and placed 10th for interfering with favored Dynafire and Zakocity on the turn. The final time was 1:34.95.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Cellamare ($3.60), a French-bred mare owned in part by New York Yankees manager Joe Torre, rallied from far off the pace to win the $60,850 Carmel Handicap at Bay Meadows on Saturday.

The 3-year-old filly was eighth in her U.S. debut in the Grade 2 San Clemente at Del Mar on Aug. 2 eight days after her arrival from France.

"I made a mistake," trainer Frank Monteleone said. "She wasn't ready. She was very thin after the trip, but I hoped to get lucky. She's really blossomed since."

FLORENCE, Ky. - He defeated Mineshaft three months ago, and now he has taken down another leader of the North American handicap division. Perfect Drift, the gritty gelding trained by Murray Johnson, on Saturday won the showcase race of the 10th annual Kentucky Cup series at Turfway Park, the $350,000 , gliding past heavily favored Congaree under a hand ride from Pat Day.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Trainer Bobby Frankel didn't need Sightseek to win Saturday's Ruffian Handicap after all.

Wild Spirit, the other top older filly in Frankel's barn, was a more than competent replacement as she cruised to a 3 1/2-length victory over stablemate You in the Grade 1, $300,000 before 6,842 at Belmont Park. It was five lengths back to Passing Shot in third.

Wild Spirit was a late replacement for Sightseek, whom trainer Bobby Frankel said was suffering from a cough and could not run.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Eleven months of disappointment for the connections of Della Francesca evaporated in just over 107 seconds Saturday as their 4-year-old colt rallied past Rouvres and Volponi in deep stretch to win the Grade 2, $200,000 by 1 1/2 lengths.

Rouvres, who took the lead from Volponi inside the eighth pole, finished second by a neck over Volponi, the 7-10 favorite. It was the sixth loss in as many starts this year for Volponi, who won last year's Breeders' Cup Classic.
