ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Trainer Bob Tiller will saddle two accomplished 4-year-olds - Rare Friends and Forever Grand - in Friday's $134,875 Jacques Cartier Stakes at Woodbine, which was originally scheduled for last Sunday, when the card was scrapped because of poor track conditions.

Rare Friends, the champion 2-year-old in Canada in 2001, finished fifth when he came off the sidelines in the five-furlong Briartic Handicap on opening day. Tiller said he expects a better effort from him in Friday's six-furlong race.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Go for Glamour's third-place finish to Composure last time out in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Oaks keeps looking better. Last week, the runner-up from that race, Elloluv, came back to win the Grade 1 Ashland.

This week, Go for Glamour could secure her first stakes win. She should go favored in a field of six in Friday's Grade 2, $200,000 Fantasy at Oaklawn Park, part of the Racing Festival of the South.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Aeneas, who extended the 9-5 favorite Hero's Tribute through midstretch before finishing second in the Grade 2 Gulfstream Park Handicap, could make his next start against division leader Medaglia d'Oro in the Grade 1 Pimlico Special May 16.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Atlantic Ocean, the only graded stakes winner nominated to the $150,000 Providencia Stakes, will skip the 1 1/8-mile grass race Sunday at Santa Anita, and instead train up to the May 2 Kentucky Oaks. Trainer Bob Baffert said Wednesday that Atlantic Ocean, 5 for 11 with Grade 3 wins on dirt and turf, would pass the Providencia.

"I don't think Atlantic Ocean will run," Baffert said, adding that Atlantic Ocean's owner, The Thoroughbred Corporation, would have another horse in the Providencia.

PORTLAND, Ore. - It's four in a row and counting for Back Street Gal, who kept her unblemished record intact with a half-length score over a stubborn Carlyn Road in Sunday's $10,000 Mt. St. Helens Stakes, Back Street Gal's first try at a mile.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Eugene's Third Son, Man Among Men, and Aristocat, three of the top contenders in the Grade 2, $500,000 Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park on Saturday, all drew outside posts for the 1 1/8-mile race, which will go with a field of 12.

Region of Merit, winner of the Grade 3 Tampa Bay Derby, will break from post 7. He and Eugene's Third Son may vie for favoritism.

Eugene's Third Son, runner-up last out in the Grade 2, $500,000 Lane's End, drew the outside post.

CHICAGO - The top two finishers in Saturday's Illinois Derby, Ten Most Wanted and Fund of Funds, came out of the race in good physical condition and could meet again May 3 in the Kentucky Derby.

Ten Most Wanted, who vanned from Hawthorne to Keeneland on Wednesday, definitely is being pointed for the Derby, trainer Wally Dollase confirmed, while Fund of Funds's connections also are giving the race serious consideration.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Kissin Saint, claimed for $50,000 by trainer Lisa Lewis on behalf of owners Peter Karches and Michael Rankowitz in January, will take an enormous step on Saturday when he makes his stakes debut in the $750,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct.

A strong performance in the Grade 1 Wood Memorial could land Kissin Saint, a Kissin Kris colt who is 2 for 2 since being claimed, in the Kentucky Derby on May 3.

OZONE PARK, N.Y.- After a frustrating winter down south, Funny Cide returned Tuesday afternoon to New York, where he will have a chance to recapture some of the brilliance he displayed here last fall in Saturday's Grade 1, $750,000 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct.

Last year, Funny Cide went 3 for 3 facing strictly New York-bred competition. His victories in the Bertram F. Bongard and Sleepy Hollow were good enough to earn him the 2-year-old New York-bred championship.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - There's a controversy brewing over the Jacques Cartier Stakes.

The Jacques Cartier, originally carded for last Sunday, was washed out along with the rest of that program due to track conditions.

The Jacques Cartier was rescheduled for Friday but was not redrawn, with the original field of six reappearing on the overnight in accordance with the policy of the Woodbine Entertainment Group.
