ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Longshot Brusque handed 3-5 favorite Handpainted her first loss when she led throughout to win the Grade 2, $276,500 Mazarine Breeders' Cup Stakes at Woodbine.

Brusque ($38.10) set uncontested fractions of 23.30 seconds, 47.30, and 1:12.24 in the 1 1/16-mile race for 2-year-old fillies. Handpainted stalked in second all the way but never got within earshot of Brusque, who prevailed by

2 1/4 lengths in a final time of 1:45.33 over a fast track.

Mountain General barely held off a steady rally by favored Sea of Tranquility to post a nose victory in the 17th running of the $75,000 Marfa Stakes at Turfway Park in Florence, Ky.

The public wasn't impressed by Katzen's 3-for-4 record on turf and allowed the 3-year-old filly to go off at 18-1 in the $101,200 Christiana Stakes at Delaware Park.

Katzen proved her record was no fluke by drawing off to a 2 1/4-length win over 9-5 favorite Affirmed Dancer. Her time for 1 1/8 miles on firm turf was 1:50.31.

Ridden for the first time by Oliver Castillo for trainer Steve Klesaris, Katzen ($38.80) finished last in her only previous stakes race on Aug. 31. Previously, she won three straight grass races at Delaware and Monmouth.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - David Copperfield, sidelined 14 months with an ankle injury, won the second straight start of his comeback in Saturday's $200,000 Bay Meadows Breeders' Cup Handicap.

David Copperfield ($7) defeated Ninebanks by a neck while running 1 1/8 miles on the Longden Turf Course in 1:48.95.

Prodigious sprinted to the early lead, and David Copperfield's jockey, Jason Lumpkins, was content to be second.

"I had no concern," Lumpkins said. "I knew he had speed. He tossed his head up on me at the start, but then he leveled off and rated nicely."

FRANKLIN, Ky. - Jake the Flake wore down Glick in the final sixteenth of a mile to win the $200,000 Kentucky Cup Mile, the secondary feature of the Kentucky Cup grass series Saturday at Kentucky Downs.

Jake the Flake, a 6-year-old Gold Spring gelding, closed from last to win by three-quarters of a length. Pyrus, the early pacesetter in a field of eight, finished third, another 3 1/2 lengths back.

FRANKLIN, Ky. - A seasoned older horse from the East Coast was supposed to win the $300,000 Kentucky Cup Turf on Saturday at Kentucky Downs. But instead of Cetewayo, the millionaire 8-year-old who was favored at 9-5 in a field of 11, it was the 6-year-old Rochester who came bounding home a 2 1/2-length winner for Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard.

Docent completed a day dominated by favorites when he drew off in the stretch to score a two-length victory over Hay Getoutofmyway in Saturday's $200,000 Maryland Million Classic at Pimlico.

A 4-year-old colt trained by Tim Ritchey and ridden by Jeremy Rose, Docent ($5) has now won his last three starts on dirt, all in stakes. He covered 1 3/16 miles on a fast track in 1:56.85.

As the only 2-year-old fillies in Monday's $55,000 Irish Sonnet Stakes at Delaware Park with more than a maiden victory to their credit, Linda D's Roomy and Lets Just Do It are the obvious favorites in the six-furlong sprint.

POMONA, Calif. - Is there another Squirtle Squirt hidden somewhere in the Barretts Juvenile field? Or is the $100,000 stakes just an ordinary race with an extraordinary purse?

Five juvenile colts, four of them maidens, race 6 1/2 furlongs Sunday at Fairplex Park in the Barretts Juvenile, won by Squirtle Squirt in 2000 before he emerged the next season as the country's champion sprinter. It is reasonable to suggest the Barretts field this year is not as strong.

BOSSIER CITY, La. - Chauffe Au Rouge will try to make amends Sunday in the $100,000 Louisiana Downs Handicap after finishing fourth at 1-2 in his last start - but his task will not be easy.

Highweighted at 118 pounds for the 1 1/16-mile turf race, he spots his opponents from two to nine pounds each, including the three horses who finished in front of him last out in the $50,000 Barksdale Handicap: Rebridled, Big Hubie, and Big Numbers.
