Medium Rare ($3.20) closed out the meet the same way he opened it - with a win in a stakes. This time the race was the $33,350 Autumn Classic for statebreds, and he rallied for a half-length win over pacesetter and stablemate Coldiron Slew.

Medium Rare had won the opening-day Taliaferro Memorial.

In the Autumn Classic, Medium Rare raced about five lengths behind the pace early, then closed through the final furlong. He covered the six furlongs in 1:09.84. Leading rider Cliff Berry was aboard Medium Rare for trainer Roger Engel.

Camacho, ridden by Glen Corbett, went immediately to the lead and was never headed, winning the $50,000 Paradise Mile Handicap by 1 3/4 lengths. Camacho ran the mile on turf in 1:36.57 and paid $12.60.

R. Baggio, the 8-5 favorite, finished second by a head but was placed third for interfering with third-place finisher Milk Wood entering the stretch.

In his first start around two turns, Agrivating General ($7.40) settled behind the pace early in the $30,000 Magnolia then powered to a neck win over favorite Doc D.

Agrivating General settled in fifth behind pacesetter King Zonic early in the mile-and-70-yard race for 3-year-olds, then rallied strongly to complete the distance in 1:41.56. It was Agrivating General's his first in a stakes and second win overall from four career starts.

Just seven days after she finished a close fifth in a turf sprint stakes, Fuse It ($5.80) returned to dirt and powered to a three-length win over Mike's Sister in the $50,000 Gardenia for statebred fillies and mares. It was another neck back in third to Mamaleen.

Mamaleen and Mike's Sister dueled through an opening quarter of 21.76 seconds in the five-furlong race, before being overcome by Fuse It, who covered the distance on a fast track in 58.23 seconds. Guy Smith rode the winner for trainer Samuel Breaux.

MIAMI - As the field approached the quarter pole in Sunday's Snazzle Dazzle Handicap and the 1-2 favorite Amonita remained bottled up in traffic and well behind the pacesetting Notable Craft, Christophe Clement, Amonita's trainer, turned to his assistant and said, "It looks like we're going to get beat today."

But as has been the case so many times, jockey Jerry Bailey was able to extricate himself from the logjam and give Amonita enough time to run down the outclassed Notable Craft en route to a nerve-wracking victory.

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.
