ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Iwoodificould, who has won his last two starts, should be well-backed to extend his streak in Wednesday's wide-open Woodbine feature, a $100,000 optional claimer for 3-year-olds and up.

The 1 1/16-mile race lured four others - Florida Recount, Bronze Bayou, Davids Expectation, and Tempered Appeal.

Iwoodificould, owned by John Franks, landed a $20,000 claimer Dec. 4 at Sam Houston. He narrowly lost a third-level allowance three weeks later, then won at that condition Jan. 10.

OCEANPORT, N.J. - The logjam of stakes horses denied turf racing opportunities by the soggy weather breaks slightly Wednesday afternoon in the featured $50,000 money allowance race at 1 1/16 miles on grass.

The field of nine includes several horses who were entered for the Red Bank and Oceanport handicaps and remained in the barn when those races shifted to the main track.

This marks the fourth time this meet that trainer Phil Oliver has entered the Irish-bred Autonomy. He hopes the 6-year-old finally gets to run here.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Jockey Norberto Arroyo Jr. is expected to be out of action a minimum of six weeks after fracturing the C-7 vertebrae in his neck following a spill in Sunday's second race at Belmont Park.

Arroyo on Monday remained in North Shore University Hospital where he was to undergo further tests after he complained of discomfort in the center of his back, according John Kolb, Arroyo's agent.

"They're going to do more tests, he'll be there at least for another couple of days," Kolb said.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Perennial leaders Russell Baze and Jerry Hollendorfer won the jockey and trainer titles for the just-concluded Bay Meadows spring meeting.

Baze, who has won every major northern California meeting he has competed in since his first title during the 1980-81 season at Bay Meadows, won his 29th Bay Meadows crown with 97 victories, one more than the combined total of runners-up Ron Warren Jr. (52) and Roberto Gonzalez (44). Baze also had 80 second-place finishes and 37 thirds from his 329 mounts.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Five years ago, few thought Eddie Martin Jr. would come back from a devastating spill at Lone Star Park. But on Friday night, he will represent the track in the seventh annual National Thoroughbred Racing Association All-Star Jockey Championship.

The four-race competition is one of two major events this week at Lone Star. The other is the $250,000 Dallas Turf Cup, to be run Saturday as part of the NTRA Summer Racing Tour on CBS.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - One was born during the Truman administration, the other is still in high school. The 56-year-old Earlie Fires and 16-year-old Tim Thornton practice the same profession, riding racehorses, and it was a good weekend for both of them.

Thornton, a 10-pound apprentice who launched his riding career this month, won his first race Friday, guiding the 30-1 shot Saturday Sin to a three-length victory in the fourth race.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Jockey Todd Kabel's choice is Mobil.

Kabel has ridden both Mobil and Wando in each of their starts this year, and the two stablemates will be the first and second choices here in Sunday's $1 million Queen's Plate.

Mike Keogh, who trains Mobil and Wando, both sons of Langfuhr, for owner-breeder Gustav Schickedanz, always has maintained that the final decision as to which colt to ride would be Kabel's alone.

And on Monday morning, after guiding Mobil through a six-furlong drill in 1:12.60 on the fast main track, Kabel finally went on the record.

SHAKOPEE, Minn. - Proving clearly best, Stylish lived up to her even-money billing by winning the $100,000 Lady Canterbury.

Ten fillies ran in the one-mile turf race. Taken in hand and reserved for a half, Stylish tracked the pace in the last flight as a three-horse pace battle was taking shape.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Continental Red, the 2002 California-bred horse of the year, won his first stakes of 2003 in the $102,250 Quicken Tree Stakes.

Ridden by Patrick Valenzuela, Continental Red stalked pacesetter Lily's Lady to the final turn and drew off in the stretch to win by 4 1/2 lengths. Sent off favored, Continental Red ($6.20) ran 1 1/2 miles on turf in 2:26.66.

Lily's Lad finished in a dead heat for second with Shalini, a 4-year-old filly racing against males for the first time.

ELMONT, N.Y. - For the second straight day, Richard Migliore guided the longest shot on the board in a five-horse field to a stakes victory at Belmont Park.

On Sunday, Migliore piloted Savedbythelight to a front-running 5 3/4-length score in the $114,600 Sands Point Stakes for 3-year-old fillies before a Father's Day crowd of 17,035 at Belmont. On Saturday, Migliore had guided Iron Deputy to a gate-to-wire upset in the Grade 2 Brooklyn Handicap.
