The field for the inaugural $500,000 Delta Jackpot at Delta Downs in Vinton, La., on Saturday night has grown to six with the commitment of leading contender Cherokee's Boy, who was a troubled third to Toccet two races back in the Grade 3 Laurel Futurity.

The one-mile race, one of the richest offerings of the year for 2-year-olds, could also draw Outta Here, whose connections on Monday were trying to make travel arrangements to fly the colt from Southern California.

Delta Downs, a six-furlong track, is located about two hours east of Houston.

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. - First Place Queen, Whosleavingwho, and Sign of Lanty moved closer to year-end championships after winning major stakes for Quarter Horses at Los Alamitos over the weekend.

The 2-year-old filly First Place Queen won her second major stakes when she upset Meteoric in Friday's $1,313,700 Los Alamitos Million.

First Place Queen ($20.20) led throughout the 400 yards to win by a half-length over Meteoric, the 3-5 favorite, who finished a head in front of The Blues Man.

ALBANY, Calif. - Trainer Len Shoemaker made a calculated gamble last winter after purchasing Miss Terasita, and it has paid off big.

The payoff could continue at Golden Gate Fields Wednesday, when Miss Terasita will be the one to beat in a $12,500 starter allowance race for older fillies and mares at one mile.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The suspense of whether a less than perfect trip would prevent Starrer from defending her title in Sunday's $150,000 at Hollywood Park was only a brief concern for her many backers.

After being stuck behind a wall of fillies and mares on the final turn, Starrer rallied along the inside in early stretch and pulled clear to win her first stakes since the 2001 Bayakoa.

The win came in Starrer's sixth start of 2002. She finished behind Azeri and Summer Colony in five stakes between June and October.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Piensa Sonando won his first stakes in the U.S. in Saturday's $100,000 Native Diver Handicap at Hollywood Park.

Ridden by Laffit Pincay, Jr., Piensa Sonando ($7) rallied from fifth on the backstretch to catch Fleetstreet Dancer in the final stride and won by a head. Piensa Sonando finished 1 1-8 miles in 1:48.43 and needed all that distance to reach the front.

ALBANY, Calif. - Spensive ($4.40) got the lead in the stretch, was passed by Always Remember but re-rallied under Julie Krone to win the $81,075 Gold Rush Stakes at Golden Gate Fields on Saturday.

Krone, who won the Vernon Underwood by Debonair Joe one week earlier for his first stakes victory since returning to riding after a 3.5-year retirement, nursed Spensive to victory in the one-mile race. The winning time on a sloppy track was 1:38.32.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Elloluv, a maiden winner making her stakes debut, pulled a shocking upset in Saturday's $356,500 at Hollywood Park, beating Composure, one of the top-ranked 2-year-old fillies in the nation.

Elloluv ($63.60) led throughout the 1 1/16 miles, finishing in 1:42.88. Composure, who finished second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Arlington Park in October, reached contention in early stretch, but never threatened the winner and finished second.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Dat You Miz Blue soundly defeated odds-on Xtra Heat in Saturday's $81,650 Garland of Roses Handicap for fillies and mares at Aqueduct.

Dat You Miz Blue blew by Xtra Heat, the 3-5 favorite in the five-horse field, around the far turn and motored home through the mud, a 2 1/4-length winner. Xtra Heat was 5 3/4 lengths clear of the third-place finisher, Belle Artiste, in the six-furlong race.

MIAMI - Trainer Ralph Ziadie predicted "they would not beat" Trust N Luck if the colt made the lead in the $100,000, 1 1/16-mile What a Pleasure Stakes. Ziadie was good to his word as Trust N Luck led throughout en route to a smashing 11-length victory in the final stakes race for 2-year-olds at Calder this season.

The winner's final time of 1:44.07 shattered the stakes record of 1:45.20 set by 1990 Kentucky Derby winner and 3-year-old champion Unbridled in 1989.

MIAMI - After winning 20 races during a six-day span in late November, including a track record-equaling six winners on Nov. 24, jockey Cornelio Velasquez appeared to have clinched his second straight Tropical-at-Calder riding title.
