ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Favored Wando ($4.20) overhauled I'm the Tiger in the final strides to take the $135,875 Woodstock Stakes at Woodbine Saturday.

Wando and I'm the Tiger both stalked the pace in the six-furlong dash, as Soitenly set fractions of 22.69 seconds and 45.94 while being pressed by Mazengah. I'm the Tiger took control at the head of the stretch, and yielded grudgingly to Wando, who prevailed by a neck in 1:10.67. El Ruller finished another three lengths back in third in the seven-horse field of 3-year-olds.

OLDSMAR, Fla. - In the past week several jockeys have been injured and a few more have left, or are planning to leave, to ride at other tracks.

Joe Judice, who came into Saturday's program with a one-race lead over Jesus Castanon at the top of the rider standings, has had some swelling in his hand after one of his mounts attempted to vault the temporary inner rail on the turf course and unseated him last week. He took off on Tuesday, but was back in action Saturday.

ARCADIA, Calif. - At the Dec. 26 start of the long Santa Anita winter meet, trainer Sandy Shulman hoped European import Champion Lodge would develop into a useful allowance horse. It was a realistic objective for a 6-year-old gelding owners Ron Charles and Shig Katayama had purchased last fall for $68,000.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - In 28 career starts, Best of the Rest has rarely given a performance that had his trainer, Eddie Plesa Jr., searching for reasons to toss out the race. But that was the case after the 8-year-old Best of the Rest's last start, a sixth-place finish in the Grade 2 New Orleans Handicap.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Deputy Cures Blues, fourth when she came off the shelf in the Star Shoot Stakes, will hook much weaker opposition Sunday at Woodbine in the $130,875 Lady Angela Stakes for Ontario-sired 3-year-old fillies.

Deputy Cures Blues was 22-1 against such horses as Hour of Justice and Handpainted two weeks ago in the Star Shoot. She attended rapid fractions set by eventual winner Winter Garden, and was beaten about five lengths after tiring in the stretch.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Sunday's $60,000-added Woodside Handicap at Bay Meadows could be a handicapper's dream or nightmare.

A mixed bag of nine fillies and mares will compete in the five-furlong turf feature.

The field includes a pair of comebackers: defending champion Fancee Bargain, who won this race last year when it was six furlongs on the main track and will be making her first start since Nov. 2, and Ragin T Rex, who has not started since running second in the Torrey Pines Handicap at Del Mar last Sept. 8.

CALGARY, Alberta - Tantoo, unbeatable at Stampede Park the past two springs, will be looking for her sixth straight win here in Sunday's feature, the first of two major preps for the May 4 M.R. Jenkins Memorial.

Tantoo, a 7-year-old mare, scored at four furlongs here opening weekend in typical front-running fashion and will face just four rivals in the $21,900 allowance at six furlongs.

AUBURN, Wash. - Knightsbridge Road makes his 3-year-old debut against five rivals in Saturday's six-furlong, $50,000 optional claiming feature at Emerald Downs - and with arch-rival Bub nowhere in sight.

Knightsbridge Road and Bub staged five memorable duels here last year, with Bub winning four of them, by margins of two lengths, three-quarters of a length, a neck, and a nose. Knightsbridge Road defeated Bub by a head in the Emerald Express Stakes at six furlongs.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - In a stunning defeat, Storm Flag Flying, last year's champion 2-year-old filly, finished second in Friday's Grade 3, $107,900 Comely Stakes at Aqueduct, beaten 5 1/2 lengths by Cyber Secret.

It was Storm Flag Flying's first career defeat after having won four starts last year.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Ocean Drive began her 3-year-old season in Friday's $111,300 Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland in the same manner in which she began her career last year - with a striking victory.

Ocean Drive took command early and held on to defeat Tangle, who rallied in the stretch and lost by a half-length. Longshot Cheryl's Mist finished 6 3/4 lengths farther back in third.

Ocean Drive ran the one mile on turf in 1:36.13 and paid $6.
