HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Trainer Michael Matz could smile at last. After going winless for the first two months of the meeting, Matz finally saddled his first winner this winter when sending out Political Attack to outlast Miesque's Approval by a neck to upset Sunday's $100,000 at Gulfstream Park.

"We really needed that one," a relieved Matz said in the winner's circle following the Grade 3 Canadian Turf.

Political Attack also ended a long losing streak of his own, capturing his first race since winning Calder's Tropical Park Derby on New Years Day in 2002.

Souris delivered as the 3-5 favorite at Delta Downs in Vinton, La., on Saturday night when she drove to a length and three-quarter win over Lady Mallory in the $75,000 Wishing Well for 3-year-old fillies. It was another two and a quarter lengths back in third to Bridlestone.

Souris($3.20) tracked pacesetter Cat's Cat through fractions of 23.11 seconds for the opening quarter and 48.12 seconds for the half in the seven furlong race before taking over in the stretch. Souris went on to cover the distance over a fast track 1:27.07.

Catalissa added blinkers and picked up his second Sam Houston Race Park stakes win on Saturday night when he drove to a five length victory over On The Border in the $35,000 Texas Heritage for 3-year-olds. It was another length back in third to Leo's Last Hurrahy.

ALBANY, Calif. - Ocean Terrace ($11.60), making his first start around two turns, won the $200,000 at Golden Gate Fields on Saturday.

Ocean Terrace stalked Onebadshark, taking the lead after the field had turned into the stretch. He finished well to hold off favored Ministers Wild Cat by 1 1/2 lengths, running the 1 1/16 miles in 1:42.26. Ten Most Wanted was third, a nose behind Ministers Wild Cat with fast-finishing Winning Stripes fourth another length back.

With jockey Casey Lambert wisely setting just off fractions of :22.03 and :44.41, Funny Meeting scored an overlay win while running 6 1/2 furlongs in a track record 1:14.84 in Saturday's $50,000-added Bill Thomas Memorial Handicap.

ARCADIA, Calif. - There is no change in the rankings among 3-year-old fillies at Santa Anita.

Composure on Saturday proved she is slightly better than Elloluv, beating her for the second consecutive time in the $300,000 . Composure outfinished Elloluv by a neck in the Grade 1 Las Virgenes Stakes over a mile on Feb. 9, and won the Oaks by three-quarters of a length.

In the Grade 1 Oaks, the heavily favored Composure ($2.80) ran 1 1/16 miles in 1:43.34, confirming her position as a leading candidate for the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs in May.

NEW ORLEANS - Ten minutes after the , Jockey Donnie Meche struggled for exactly the right words to describe Lady Tak's performance. Finally, he gave in to his gut reaction.

"She's just - she's just a freak," Meche said.

NEW ORLEANS - The major part of trainer Eleuterio Martinez Jr.'s long weekend in New Orleans will have been completed when Monday's Fair Grounds program rolls around. Martinez was to have saddled Winning Fans Sunday in the Grade 2, $750,000 Louisiana Derby.

Martinez's runner figured an outsider Sunday, but he's right in the middle of Monday's ninth race feature, a third-level turf allowance for fillies and mares with a $75,000 claiming option.

Martinez's Pleasant State comes off a fourth-place finish in a Sam Houston stakes race and fits the spot.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Typically, Gulfstream Park's dirt track is not kind to horses with bad feet. Saturday, it proved quite soothing to Tour of the Cat, who won a stirring stretch duel with Burning Roma to take the Grade 2, $200,000 by a head at Gulfstream Park.

It was 1 1/4 lengths back to Highway Prospector, part of the 3-5 favored entry along with Native Heir, who faded to seventh after setting the early pace.

OLDSMAR Fla. - The Killer Cuban stable is back.

When Libby's Dreams led from flagfall to finish to capture Friday's third race, it marked the fifth straight winner sent out by trainer Pete Antonucci. The streak was snapped later in the day when Dinner Withawinner broke slowly and failed to hit the board in a turf allowance race.

Antonucci's stable, which runs in distinctive orange silks, is nicknamed the "Killer Cuban" stable after the signature sandwich on the menu at the sandwich shop owned by Antonucci and Susan Hammer, who owns the stable's horses.
