SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The induction of Sonny Hine into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame on Monday is a tribute to a training career that lasted more than four decades. As far as Carolyn Hine - Sonny's wife - is concerned, it's a tribute to a lifetime spent in the Thoroughbred industry.

"He gave his life for this industry,' said Carolyn Hine, who was married to Sonny for 38 years before his death on March 17, 2000. "That's why I wanted this so much for him. It's payback. Sonny didn't want the accolades; he wanted everything for his horses and for me.''

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Seeking the Ring and Brattothecore dead-heated for the win in the Bison City Stakes at Fort Erie, but the result could be much different Monday at Woodbine, when they both try the turf for the first time in the $250,000 Wonder Where Stakes, final leg of the Canadian Triple Tiara.

The Wonder Where is joined on Monday's holiday program by the $131,125 Victoriana Stakes, a turf race for Ontario-sired fillies and mares.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. - The Sonoma County Fair's closing day is Monday, and racing is going out with a whimper instead of a bang.

An otherwise successful two-week meeting has been plagued by the absence of nominations for stakes races, and Monday's closing-day feature, the six-furlong Elie Destruel Stakes for fillies and mares, was canceled because of a lack of entries.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - Follow Me Home continued her dominance of the local 3-year-old filly sprinters with a victory in Saturday's $50,000 Trenton Stakes at Monmouth Park.

Follow Me Home is unbeaten in four starts at the meet, the last three stakes races.

Follow Me Home ($4.40) beat the late-running Randaroo by 1 3/4 lengths in 58.13 seconds. Nicole's Dream was third.

The Trenton, slated for five furlongs on the turf but shifted to the muddy main track, posed Follow Me Home's biggest challenge to date.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Chopinina, last year's Sovereign Award-winning champion turf female, won her first stakes at Woodbine in the Grade 3, $209,050 Royal North Handicap.

Chopinina ($5.10) stalked a three-way pace speed duel while four wide in the six-furlong grass race for fillies and mares. Leading Role, Mille Feville, and Mysterious Affair battled through splits of 23 and 47.21 seconds over the soft going, before Chopinina assumed command at the quarter pole.

French Charmer ($12.40) overtook even-money favorite Rock Slide in deep stretch and pulled away for a one-length victory in the $144,500 John D. Schapiro Memorial Breeders' Cup Handicap at Laurel Park.

Rock Slide held a 2 1/2-length lead with a furlong remaining in the 1 1/8-mile race, run over soft turf, but French Charmer, under Chris DeCarlo, closed between horses and drew clear. The winning time was 1:55.56.

Broad Hopes ($2.60), one of only three fillies left from a field of 10 after the race was moved from the turf to the main track, cruised to a 19 3/4-length victory in the $68,5250 Denise Rhudy Memorial Stakes at Delaware Park. Ridden by Ramon Dominguez for trainer Jonathan Sheppard, Broad Hopes covered 1 1/8 miles over a track that was fast despite showers in 1:58.08.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Young jockey Ryan Fogelsonger, the Eclipse Award-winning apprentice in 2002 and the nation's third-leading journeyman rider this year with 209 wins, will move his tack from Maryland and begin riding full-time in Southern California in early September.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Five friends from northern California turned a visit to the Sonoma County Fair in Santa Rosa into the most lucrative payoff in California pick six history on Friday.

John Dado, the father of Del Mar's vice president for marketing, Craig Dado, and four friends bought a $128 pick six ticket which paid a record $1,562,818.60. It was the only winning ticket. The payoff broke the previous record of $1.1 million set at Bay Meadows in December 1985. The previous Del Mar record was $1,039,259 to one ticket-holder on Sept. 7, 1995.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - It would appear Stroll is a quicker study than his older brother Patrol.

A year ago, Patrol went into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame Stakes as a heavy favorite. But, his ineffectiveness racing from off the pace proved his undoing when he got off slow, rushed to the front, and eventually tired to third. Patrol has since learned to rate and has won several stakes.
