Native Judge was 2 3/4 lengths back in second. Trained by Robert Van Overschot, Illusive Park ($6.70) covered the 6 1/2 furlongs on a fast main track in 1:18.30.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - It has been a long wait, but trainer Jerry Hollendorfer is hopeful his patience will finally be rewarded when the talented 3-year-old Metatron returns to the races in Wednesday's feature race at Bay Meadows.
Metatron has five rivals in a six-furlong, $40,000 optional claimer. Wild Celebration, the other 3-year-old in the field, is the only runner offered for the $40,000 claiming price.
The Woodlands in Kansas City, Kan., will export its signal for the first time in five years Wednesday when the track opens for a 26-day Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse meet. The season runs Wednesday to Sunday to Nov. 3.
Reception to The Woodlands's signal has been solid, with 35 outlets on board for the meet, including Fair Grounds, Sam Houston, Canterbury Park, Turf Paradise, and Remington Park.
"We're expecting handle to double what it was last year," said Carl Schroll, director of mutuels for The Woodlands.
CHICAGO - The biggest disappointment of the four Arlington stakes held this past weekend involved one of the two horses most likely to move on to the Oct. 26 World Thoroughbred Championships.
Macho Uno, who finished fifth and last as a 3-5 favorite Sunday in the Grade 2 Washington Park Handicap, was deemed a probable starter in the Breeders' Cup Classic by trainer Joe Orseno shortly after the Washington Park. Orseno chalked up Macho Uno's struggle to a lack of fitness, saying he had expected Macho Uno to get tired and merely wanted a prep for the Classic.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Those who saw the Canadian International may well have witnessed the birth of a star Sunday at Woodbine.
Ballingarry, trained in Ireland by Aidan O'Brien, had been a relative bit player while such illustrious stablemates as Rock of Gibraltar, High Chaparral, and Hawk Wing took turns in the limelight this year.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Regal 'n Bold and unbeaten Deputy Cures Blues stand out in Wednesday's $129,500 Victorian Queen Stakes, a six-furlong race for Ontario-sired 2-year-old fillies at Woodbine.
Regal 'n Bold, a striking daughter of Bold Executive, destroyed a weak field of Ontario-sired maidens two weeks ago, winning by nearly 12 lengths after a wide stalking trip over an outside-biased track. Her time of 1:04.80 seconds was good for a whopping Beyer Speed Figure of 90.
FRESNO, Calif. - California's fair circuit winds up its racing season as the Big Fresno Fair opens a 10-day meeting Wednesday.
The highlight of the meet is the $102,000 Ron and Jess Cloud Memorial, a six-furlong race for 2-year-olds scheduled for Saturday.
The Memorial, which has been run since 1998, is the richest race on the California Authority of Racing Fairs schedule. It has offered a six-figure purse for the past three years with the fair putting up $50,000 and the Cloud family putting up the rest.
SAN MATEO, Calif. - Russell Baze, the nation's leading rider in victories, notched five wins on Sunday's card at Bay Meadows.
Baze won the first race aboard Twelveyearslater ($6.20). He won the second aboard River Bridge ($4.40) when original winner Madison Davis was disqualified and placed last. He won the fifth aboard Colonel Kelly ($5.80), then teamed with leading trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, who had three wins, with Lucky Sabre ($15.60) in the sixth. His final winner was aboard Surprise Halo ($5) in the eighth.
He also had a second and two thirds on his other mounts.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Wake At Noon probably clinched the Sovereign Award for Canada's champion sprinter this year by capturing the Grade 3, $160,800 at Woodbine Sunday.
Wake At Noon stalked the pace on the outside in the six-furlong dash, running four-wide on the turn, as Davids Expectation and Krz Ruckus dueled through splits of :22.37 and :45.02 seconds.
