A change in tactics made a big difference for Gimmeawink in Monday's $75,000 Nick Shuk Memorial Stakes at Delaware Park.

Sent to the front by jockey Rodrigo Madrigal Jr., Gimmeawink ($21.20), the longest shot in a field of six 3-year-olds, went wire to wire in the 1 1/16-mile stakes to defeat 1-2 favorite Cherokee's Boy by 1 3/4 lengths.

Madrigal, who had ridden Gimmeawink when he finished second and fifth in a pair of two-turn stakes at Delaware, said trainer Tim Ritchey suggested the colt would run better if asked for more early speed.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. has been suspended 45 days and fined $3,000 by the New York Racing Association stewards after the banned substance mepivacaine was found in the postrace urine of Farmer Jake, who finished third in the sixth race at Aqueduct on April 27.

Dutrow has appealed, was granted a stay, and will be able to continue to train.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Pager, who pulled the biggest upset of the night in the National Thoroughbred Racing Association All-Star Jockey Championship at Lone Star Park on Friday, is headed to the Claiming Crown at Canterbury Park.

He will run in the $50,000 Express at six furlongs on July 19, said his trainer, C.W. "Bubba" Cascio.

Pager won a prep for that race one start before his 19-1 score in the first leg of the Jockey Championship.

CHICAGO - The Prairie State Festival of Racing on Saturday at Arlington began well enough for the trainer Chris Block, who won the first of six statebred stakes races with the 3-year-old filly Keeping the Gold.

Supposedly, the best was yet to come for Block, who had the 2002 Illinois Horse of the Year, Mystery Giver, readied for the Cardinal Handicap, which Mystery Giver won last season. But before Mystery Giver got to the racetrack, his day began falling apart.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - With the pick six pool at Churchill Downs likely to surpass $1 million Wednesday, handicappers throughout North America will be pulling out all the stops to try to slay the monster. Post time for the fifth race, the first leg of the pick six, is 3:25 p.m. Eastern.

Here is a quick rundown of each of the pick six races:

Devil Time achieved a rare feat in winning the $50,000 Sydney Gendelman Handicap for Ohio-breds for the second consecutive year.

Originally scheduled for the turf, the Gendelman was switched to the dirt after a water-line break drenched parts of the turf course, making it unusable. Thus, Devil Time has won the same stakes on both turf and dirt.

Under a ground-saving ride by Bill Trolio, Devil Time ($4.20) drew off convincingly in the stretch to register a 4 1/4-length victory. Vivid Views was second, two lengths clear of Taylortwofeathers.

Jaramar Rain ($6) found easier pickings for the same purse money when she scratched out of Saturday's Obeah Handicap to run 24 hours later in the $100,000 New Castle Handicap at Delaware Park.

Eight of the fillies and mares from the original field scratched when the 1 1/8-mile New Castle was moved from the turf to the main track, leaving Jaramar Rain to face just three opponents. Ridden by Rodrigo Madrigal Jr. for trainer Rusty Arnold, Jaramar Rain romped to a five-length win over Alternate, the 3-5 favorite.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Princess Dixie finally got the better of her stablemate Along Came Mary, holding on for a three-quarter-length victory in the $114,300 Mount Vernon Handicap for New York-bred fillies and mares. It was 10 lengths back to Moonlightandbeauty in third.

MIAMI - Hear No Evil ($4.20) set all the pace en route to an easy three-length victory over Whos Crying Now and four other 3-year-olds in the $100,000 Unbridled Stakes at Calder.

The Name's Bond, who had easily defeated Hear No Evil when the pair met four weeks earlier, would have been favored but was a late scratch due to what was reported to be a minor injury.

Owner Richard Englander and trainer Allen Iwinski were on the fence about whether Devon Rose was worthy of running in next month's $750,000 Delaware Handicap. Their decision became a no-brainer when Devon Rose ($3.20) cruised to a 4 1/2-length win in the $100,000 Obeah Handicap at Delaware Park.

"As soon as she crossed the finish line I called Rick and the first words out of his mouth were 'Delaware Handicap,' " Iwinski said. "I think she has certainly earned the opportunity."
