INGLEWOOD, Calif. - An eighth-place finish by Dress to Thrill in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Arlington Park in October left trainer Dermot Weld unsatisfied. An upset victory by the Irish invader in Sunday's $500,000 at Hollywood Park, against a field that included top fillies Golden Apples and Banks Hills, left Weld convinced that the Dress to Thrill is one of the world's top turf females.

"This filly deserves what she got today," Weld said. "The Breeders' Cup was not a true reflection of her ability. I wanted people to see what she was capable of."

Capones Vault won the first $1 million race ever held in Texas on Saturday night when he led throughout for a three-quarter length victory over favorite Eye Opening Episode in the $1,061,703 Texas Classic Quarter Horse Futurity at Lone Star Park.

It was another three-quarters of length back in third to Red Dog Leader.

Capones Vault($30) broke sharp in the 400-yard race for 2-year-olds and never looked back, covering the distance in 19.53 seconds. Tad Leggett rode the winner for trainer Edward Hardy.

My Friend Don($26) outfinished Agrivating General by three-quarters of a length to win the $30,000 Conroe Stakes at Sam Houston Race Park on Saturday night. It was another three-quarters of a length back in third to Flash Forward.

My Friend Don was prominent throughout the six-furlong race for 3-year-olds, setting fractions of 22.41 seconds for the opening quarter and 46.21 for the half-mile mark before going on to cover the distance in 1:10.54.

Bobby Walker, Jr., rode the winner for Mary Bonham and trainer Kenward Bernis.

No Its Not, who was claimed for $7,500 in Feburary, became a stakes winner Saturday night when he drove to a one and a half length victory over Two Punch Sonny in the $50,000 Marshland at Delta Downs in Vinton, La.

It was another two lengths back in third to Screen Idol.

No Its Not($4.60) settled behind the pace early, and rallied to cover the seven furlongs, which was held around two turns, in 1:26.12. He earned $30,000 for 901 Racing Stables, which improved his record to 11 wins in 32 starts for earnings of $149,617.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - In what may have been his last start before going to stud, Good Journey outclassed nine rivals in Saturday's $500,000 Citation Handicap at Hollywood Park.

Showing the aggressive running style that led to a third in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Arlington Park in October, Good Journey won the Grade 2 Citation by 1 1-4 lengths over 15-1 Seinne. Ridden by Pat Day, Good Journey ran 1 1-16 miles on turf in 1:41.45.

The 3-year-old Lacie Girl won her first three starts in sprints. She sat off fast fractions set by Erica's Smile, who covered the first six furlongs of the 1 1/16-mile race in 1:08.87.

Sunland Park, N. M. - With no horse in the field having experience at a mile and two speedy types as the obvious choices, a late closer figured to win Saturday's $125,000-added Red Hedeman Mile for New Mexico-bred two-year-olds at Sunland Park. As it turned out, Tornados Jack was the horse for the day, circling the field into the stretch and drawing off in the final furlong to win by three and a quarter lengths, getting the mile in 1:39.83 under Garrett Gomez and returning $7.60. The win was Gomez's second of the day, extending his meet leading total to 12 from just 26 mounts.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - You could hear trainer Bob Baffert's jaw drop from 3,000 miles away.

Baffert stayed behind in California while his 4-year-old Congaree destroyed a deep field by 5 1/2 lengths in Saturday's Grade 1, $350,000 at Aqueduct. Aldebaran, a perennial bridesmaid, finished second again, a neck in front of Crafty C.T.

Red Bullet, the surprising 3-1 favorite, finished a well-beaten seventh.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Michael Dickinson earned his lofty reputation in racing as a trainer of older grass horses. So after Soto stayed unbeaten Saturday by defeating 11 other 2-year-olds in the 76th running of the $231,200 at Churchill Downs, Dickinson poked some fun at himself.

"What, this wasn't a grass race for 4-year-olds?" he asked. "How can I win a dirt race with a 2-year-old?"

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Toccet had just crossed the finish line first in Saturday's Grade 2 at Aqueduct, and owner Daniel Borislow had a question.

"Have they run that race in Kentucky yet?" Borislow said, referring to the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, which was still an hour away at Churchill Downs. "Get the plane."
