OZONE PARK, N.Y. - When entries are drawn Wednesday for Saturday's Grade 1 De Francis Memorial Dash at Laurel Park, Xtra Heat's name won't be among the list of runners. Trainer John Salzman confirmed Monday that Xtra Heat will make her next start in the $75,000 Garland of Roses Handicap over Aqueduct's inner track on Dec. 14.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Acting Deputy seeks her fifth consecutive win and leaves the claiming ranks in Wednesday's $67,600 Woodbine headliner, a seven-furlong allowance for fillies and mares.

Acting Deputy's streak began at Fort Erie on Sept. 8, when she graduated with ease in her third career outing. She doubled up in a nonwinners-of-two allowance two weeks later, earning an impressive 81 Beyer Speed Figure, an effort that swayed trainer Chris Tuttle to try Woodbine.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Parose has been pure gold for owner John Atto and trainer Sandy McPherson since they claimed him for $62,500 on the final day of the 2001 Woodbine meeting.

The latest dividends were returned Saturday when Parose, enjoying the best campaign of his career at age 8, rallied for his second stakes win of the year in the Woodbine Slots Cup.

"He got a very contested pace to run at," said McPherson. "That's always good for a horse with his running style."

Parose has won 3 of 8 starts this year with four seconds and a third, and has banked $283,790.

After running an opening quarter in a blazing 20.92 seconds, Mick ($9) went on to a 1 3/4-length win over Kwik Kountry in the $30,775 Clever Trevor for 2-year-olds at Remington Park. It was another three-quarters of a length back in third to favorite Mav Cat.

ANDERSON, Ind. - Maggie's Dream stayed perfect this year with her fourth win in the $42,500 Richmond Stakes and Imageofhope won the $43,100 Gus Grissom. The two Hoosier Park 1 1/16-mile races are for Indiana-breds sired by registered Indiana stallions - the Richmond for fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up, the Grissom for males.

ALBANY, Calif. - Onslaught ($8.40), beaten by a neck in three straight stakes races, used a new strategy to win the $60,600 Camilla Urso Handicap by a half-length at Golden Gate.

Onslaught had lost by a neck twice to Channing Way and to Bullish Miss in her last start while stalking. This time, she took the lead out of the gate, dueling with Fertile through the opening half-mile of the six-furlong race for fillies and mares. Fertile edged ahead at the top of the lane, but Onslaught responded to the left-hand whip of Chad Schvaneveldt and regained the lead.

OZONE PARK, N.Y. - Beautiful America rocketed to a front-running, six-length victory in the $125,000 Fifth Avenue division of the New York Stallion Stakes at Aqueduct, effectively clinching honors as the New York-bred champion juvenile filly.

The victory under Jose Santos was the fourth in five starts for Beautiful America, a daughter of Dixie Brass owned by Chester and Mary Broman. Her only loss came against males in the New York Breeders' Futurity at Finger Lakes.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Buffalo Jump ($17.10) passed Dolly Dynamite in deep stretch to win the $164,750 Glorious Song Stakes, a seven-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies at Woodbine.

Heavily favored Winter Garden pressed front-running Neblina until the half-mile pole, where Dolly Dynamite joined the leaders. Buffalo Jump made a three-wide bid on the turn under Patrick Husbands, and got by Dolly Dynamite in the final strides to win by a neck.

Bossier City, La. - Mr. King Rex captured Sunday's closing day featured Pelican Stakes to add yet another win to leading trainer Cole Norman's record breaking season. Odds-on favorite Witt Ante, who broke slowly, was left with too much to do and had to settle for second, losing for the first time in three career starts. Sevenforbish reported home third followed by another Norman charge, Teepee Creeper.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Reba's Gold is bound for a $2 million race in Japan later this month following a hard-fought win in Sunday's $72,850 Steinlen Handicap at Hollywood Park.

Owner Alex Trebek, the host of "Jeopardy", and trainer Dan Hendricks, said the 5-year-old Reba's Gold will reappear in the Japan Cup Dirt over approximately 1 1/8 miles at Nakayama Racecourse on Nov. 23.
