EDMONTON, Alberta - When Kalfaari arrived here for the $40,000 Spangled Jimmy on July 5, he was in the midst of a six-race win streak.

Racing in the mud here, he carried on his winning ways by defeating a strong field that included Alberta's 2002 horse of the year, Sixthirtyjoe.

Following that victory, owner Clint Willson considered a number of options, including shipping to Chicago, but in the end he decided to stay in western Canada, and on Saturday Kalfaari made his second start at Northlands Park.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Santerra should be well-backed while getting some class relief in Wednesday's $126,625 Eternal Search Stakes at Woodbine, a 1 1/16-mile race for Ontario-sired 3-year-old fillies.

Santerra was one of the leading 2-year-old fillies at Woodbine in 2002, when she captured the restricted Muskoka and South Ocean stakes. She banked $205,966 that year for owner Ted Burnett.

CHICAGO - At Arlington, the third-level allowance condition for fillies and mares has grown a regular cast. This allowance condition (the races also include a $62,500 claiming option) fills every three weeks or so. Each time, a horse wins - usually by a polite margin - and moves on, but the core element remains, basically unchanged.

CHICAGO - Honor in War, on the strength of his neck victory in the $250,000 Arlington Handicap here Saturday, remains on track for the Arlington Million on Aug. 16. And a million-dollar race is a fine place to be headed if you are a trainer whose season has been dented by injuries.

"He's just fine. He came out of the race in good shape," the trainer Paul McGee said Sunday. McGee has a handful of horses at Arlington, but keeps his main string in Kentucky. Nevertheless, he said Honor in War would remain at Arlington to train up to the Million.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Brandon's Babydoll, a 4-year-old filly, may not be the fastest runner among the seven fillies and mares entered in Wednesday's six-furlong Sonoma County Fair feature race, but she might be the toughest.

"She had a fractured hind leg as a 3-year-old," said her trainer, Deanna Cook. "It was so bad she had to be cross-tied in her stall to make sure she didn't lie down. If she lay down, she might have compounded the fracture. It was touch and go. We didn't know if she'd make it."

Brandon's Babydoll made it, and Cook knew she had a little talent.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Film Maker burst out of the pack once clear at midstretch and drew off to an easy 2 1/2-length victory over the 6-5 favorite, Ocean Drive, in Monday's $114,000 Lake George Stakes at Saratoga. Gal O Gal finished third.

Edgar Prado rode Film Maker to victory for trainer H. Graham Motion. A 3-year-old daughter of by Dynaformer, Film Maker paid $20 after covering 1 1/16 miles in 1:41.80 over a firm course.

DEL MAR, Calif. - Kona Gold, who delighted Southern California fans by competing against the best sprinters in the West, and the nation, for six seasons, was retired on Sunday, one day after finishing fifth in Del Mar's Bing Crosby Handicap, his first career loss at Del Mar.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Medaglia d'Oro has not started since dominating the Oaklawn Park Handicap on April 5. But any thoughts the four-month layoff might impact his performance in Saturday's $750,000 Whitney Handicap were likely put to rest after Medaglia d'Oro looked razor-sharp working six furlongs in 1:12.30 here Sunday morning.

Medaglia d'Oro will be the overwhelming favorite and starting highweight under

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The complexion of Sunday's $500,000 Jim Dandy Stakes changed Monday morning after trainer Bob Baffert confirmed that he is sending During to Saratoga for the Grade 2 race.

During's presence should help assure a realistic pace in the 1 1/8-mile Jim Dandy. In the Grade 2 Swaps

at Hollywood Park July 13, During set the pace, was headed by both Ten Most Wanted and Eye of the Tiger in early stretch, and then reasserted himself to post a courageous head win.
