A totalisator malfunction Saturday at Keeneland Race Course resulted in the refunding of about $76,000 in pick six wagers on the Breeders' Cup. Announcement of the refunds came Saturday evening after the entire Breeders' Cup card was run. No tickets were sold at Keeneland with five or six winners.

Keeneland officials said they regretted the development since bettors may have discarded what they believed to be losing pick six tickets. The amount that is not cashed by the opening of the spring meet in April will be used in a pick six carryover pool.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Medecis, the French stakes winner who finished ninth in the Breeders' Cup Mile on Saturday, has joined trainer Richard Mandella's stable in California.

Owned by Alain and Gerard Wertheimer, Medecis has won 4 of 9 starts and $203,384. A 3-year-old by Machiavellian, he won two stakes this year - the Prix Omnium II and the Group 3 Prix de la Jonchere. He was second to Landseer in the French 2000 Guineas. In the Breeders' Cup Mile, Medecis had a poor start and was never closer than eighth. He ran 5 3/4 lengths behind the winner, Domedrive

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Trainer Pat Byrne had hoped to have a horse in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Arlington last weekend, but no such luck. His two best 2-year-olds, Private Gold and Christmas Away, both disappointed in their final preps, leaving Byrne, who has won three Breeders' Cup races, without a BC starter for the fourth straight year.

ARCADIA, Calif. - California Cup XIII - a 10-race, $1.3 million extravaganza Saturday for California-breds - highlights closing week of the Oak Tree meet at Santa Anita. The autumn meet ends Sunday with two graded stakes on turf - the Grade 2 Las Palmas for fillies and mares at 1 1/8 miles, and the Grade 3 Morvich Handicap at 6 1/2 furlongs on the downhill course.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - It may be too bad that trainer Bonnie Jenne isn't involved in horseshoes instead of horse racing.

Close, as the old saying goes, counts in horseshoes.

Close actually pays off in horse racing, too, and Jenne, a Washington-based trainer, has done pretty well since arriving in northern California this fall.

She sends out 6-year-old gelding Itsasgoodasitgets in a $25,000 claimer Wednesday at Bay Meadows. He ran third in his northern California debut in an Oct. 11 allowance race.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - No one really expected miracles from Woodbine's four-horse contingent on last Saturday's Breeders' Cup program at Arlington.

So while local boosters had to be disappointed after watching Wake at Noon, Chopinina, and Wando end next to last and Perfect Soul finish absolutely last, it should be noted that all four were the longest shots on the board in their respective races.

The good news is that all emerged relatively unscathed and were back in their stalls at Woodbine on Monday morning.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Deputy Cures Blues will test her skill around two turns on Wednesday at Woodbine in the South Ocean Stakes, a $132,625 race for Ontario-sired 2-year-old fillies.

Deputy Cures Blues graduated with authority in her first start, against a quality field of $50,000 maidens Aug. 31. She ran an even better race three weeks later in a six-furlong allowance, coming from off the pace to win by a neck in 1:11.20, a time that earned her an 81 Beyer Speed Figure.

CHICAGO - Allspice won the $100,000 Eliza Stakes for 2-year-old fillies Sunday as Arlington's meet closed after almost five months on a fitting note.

Two races after Allspice validated a blowout maiden win, Devil's Bandit won the meet's final heat for owner Frank Calabrese, trainer Wayne Catalano and jockey Rene Douglas. These three have dominated day-to-day racing here. Calabrese, who finished with 66 wins, and Catalano, with 64, both set records for wins at an Arlington meet. Douglas lapped the field in the race for leading rider.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Zee Oh Six jetted clear of his rivals into the first turn of the $75,000 Magna Entertainment Classic and never looked back, winning the richest race of the Oklahoma Classics Day program at Remington Park by three and three quarter lengths over Expensive Risk.

It was another three and quarter lengths back to Coldiron Slew.

Zee Oh Six($6.80), a three-quarter brother to 1996 Classic winner Belle Of Cozzene, covered the mile and a sixteenth for eligible Oklahoma-breds in the slop in 1:44.34. Don Pettinger rode the winner for trainer Steve Hobby.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Odds-on favorite Angel Gift ($3.40), who had met Azeri three times and finished within 4 1/4 lengths each time, had no trouble winning the 1 1/16-mile $60,550 Golden Poppy Handicap at Bay Meadows on Sunday.

Angel Gift sat off the early pace of Erica's Smile, moved into contention on her own and beat Lindsay Jean by three lengths in 1:41.47.
