SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Cigar and Serena's Song, two of the dominant horses of the 1990's, will be inducted into the Thoroughbred racing's National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame Monday.

The two modern-day equine heroes will join trainer Grover "Bud" Delp, the late jockey Jack Westrope, and Noor as the 2002 inductees. The induction ceremony will be held at the Fasig-Tipton Sales Pavilion on East Ave. beginning at 10:30 a.m.

Charlsie Cantey, a veteran racing commentator and stakes-winning trainer, will deliver the keynote speech.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Listen Here, taking advantage of a suicidal pace and jockey Pat Day's patient handling, finished full of run through the stretch for a 2 1/4-length victory over a game Boston Common in Saturday's $150,000 at Saratoga.

Mayakovsky, the 6-5 favorite, tired badly after contesting the pace into the stretch and finished a well-beaten fourth. The previously undefeated Greatness flashed brief speed before fading badly and finishing seventh in a field of eight 3-year-olds.

DEL MAR, Calif. - A record-setting win by Special Ring in Friday's $77,075 Wickerr Handicap left trainer Julio Canani dreaming of a third win in the Breeders' Cup Mile later this year. Special Ring lowered the course record for one mile on turf to 1:32.72 with an emphatic two-length win in the restricted stakes.

"What a race he ran," Canani said. "He exploded."

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y. - Farda Amiga, who has not started since upsetting the Kentucky Oaks, will return to action at Saratoga Aug. 17 in the Grade 1 Alabama Stakes. Farda Amiga paid $42 after running down the pacesetting favorite Take Charge Lady to win the Grade 1 Oaks under Chris McCarron.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. - If there was ever a sentimental favorite heading into a race, it would have to be More Mascara in the $40,000-added Elie Destruel Handicap at six furlongs on Monday, closing day at the Sonoma County Fair.

Gloria Haley, More Mascara's trainer, was born and raised in Santa Rosa, but the sentiment surrounds More Mascara herself.

The 7-year-old mare was born with only one eye and a deformed face that needed to be braced the first six months of her life.

FORT ERIE, Ontario - Monday could be a big day for apprentice jockey Kris Robinson, who will ride in both halves of the stakes doubleheader carded on the Civic Holiday program.

Robinson, 26, became a stakes-winning rider when he captured the Border Cup here two weeks ago aboard Prospective Gal.

Trained by Daryl Ezra, Prospective Gal will be the likely favorite in Monday's first stakes, the $60,000-added Lauries Dancer. The 1 1/16-mile race drew a field of six Canadian-foaled fillies and mares, 3 and up, who have started at least twice at the current meeting.

MUSKEGON, Mich. - Born to Dance, the reigning Michigan horse of the year, will face Sefas Rose, who handed her her lone defeat at Great Lakes Downs, and seven other Michigan-bred fillies and mares in the $45,000 Moonbeam Handicap Monday. The Moonbeam, at 1 1/16 miles, is carded as the fourth of nine races.

Sefas Rose, who is owned by Farid and Joan Sefa, won the Larkspur Handicap on May 24 here, defeating Born to Dance and four other of her Moonbeam rivals. Since the Moonbeam, she has finished second in allowance company at Thistledown and Ellis Park.

SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Federal Highway, making his first start around two turns, overcame a troubled trip and re-rallied after falling behind late to defeat Blue Slew's Shoes by a nose and win the $53,540 James F. Lyttle Memorial Handicap on Friday at the Sonoma County Fair.

Boots on Sunday held off Ski Bum by a neck to win his second straight $30,000 J.R. Straus Memorial on Friday at Retama Park, before an opening night crowd of 4,569. It was another length back in third to Two Punch Sonny.

Boots on Sunday broke well as the 3-5 favorite, and dueled with Wild Axe through an opening quarter in 22.24 seconds. He took command of the race soon afterward, and was game in deep stretch when challenged first by Two Punch Sonny on his outside, then by Ski Bum to his inside.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Monmouth Park shipper Quick Blue ($10.30) led all the way to take the Grade 3, $164,550 Royal North Handicap for fillies and mares at Woodbine.

Quick Blue, who won the 2001 Bison City Stakes at Fort Erie, recorded splits of 22.56 seconds and 45.53 in the six-furlong turf dash. Mysterious Affair and Leading Roll tracked the pace, but Quick Blue drew clear in the final furlong to win by 1 1/2 lengths over Mysterious Affair.

"Our game plan was to try to get to the lead," said Emile Ramsammy, who rode Quick Blue. "We got the trip we wanted."
