OCEANPORT, N.J. - With the 3-year-olds out of the Monmouth Park spotlight after the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational last Sunday, the focus shifts to 2-year-old fillies on Wednesday as two divisions of a maiden special weight highlight the nine-race card.

DEL MAR, Calif. - An otherwise quiet Monday at Del Mar will have an added significance for bettors with a pick six carryover of $230,217.
It is one of the largest one-day pick six carryovers of the year.
Monday's pick six covers the third through eighth races on a program that begins at 2 p.m. There are no stakes on Monday's program, but several races have large fields.
Here is a look at the changes. In the fourth race, Ava's Delight and My Whole Enchilada are scratched from a maiden claimer for fillies and mares over six furlongs that has 10 runners.
DEL MAR, Calif. - Grey Memo pulled an upset in Sunday's $250,000 at Del Mar, rallying from last to win his second major stakes of the year.
Dismissed at 14-1, Grey Memo launched a wide run on the final turn and won by a convincing three lengths, finishing 1 1-16 miles in 1:43.48. Ridden by Eddie Delahoussaye at 116 pounds, Grey Memo ($30) easily beat Euchre and Congaree, who finished second and third.
"I knew if he kicked it in, he'd have a good chance," Delahoussaye said. "He took off."
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Jockey Richard Migliore was to remain overnight in a Saratoga hospital, but appeared to escape serious injury as a result of a spill during the running of Sunday's Jim Dandy Stakes.
``He's got a bruised arm and a bruised sternum, but nothing is broken and that's a relief,'' said Drew Mollica, the agent for Migliore. ``When he feels better, we'll go back to work.''
SANTA ROSA, Calif. - Mr. Technique ($8.80), a troubled third in his debut when he was spooked after seeing the Ferris wheel on the turn at the Solano County Fair, scored a wire-to-wire victory in the $52,770 Redwood Empire Stakes at the Sonoma County Fair on Sunday.
The $75,000 yearling purchase beat odds-on favorite Taraval, the winner of Northern California's first two 2-year-old stakes, by 3.5 lengths in the 5.5-furlong race. The winning time was 1:03.55.
"Today he broke good, and I just tried to get him to go comfortably," winning rider Jason Lumpkins said.
OCEANPORT, N.J. - The connections of Clearly a Queen decided to pass on the Grade 2 Diana Handicap at Saratoga July 27 and await the Grade 3 Eatontown Handicap at Monmouth Sunday, and the decision clearly paid dividends as she nosed out Laurica to win her second consecutive Grade 3 on the turf.
OCEANPORT, N.J. - War Emblem reared up in the gate before the start of the Grade 1 at Monmouth Sunday, but erased any memory of his stumbled start in the Belmont Stakes when he broke sharply to the front and never relinquished the lead to win the $1 million Haskell by 3 1/2 lengths over Magic Weisner.
SANTA ROSA, Calif. - World champion mule Black Ruby ($2.40) won her ninth straight race and avenged her only loss of 2001, defeating archrival Taz by three-quarters of a length Sunday in the Santa Rose Mule Championship at the Sonoma County Fair.
Black Ruby, who has won 59 of 77 starts, covered 440 yards in 25.657 seconds and combined with Taz for the 33rd exacta in their 40 meetings.
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Up to 30 horses were either dead or unaccounted for as of noon Sunday after a early-morning fire of yet-to-be determined origin raged through two barns on the Woodbine backstretch.
"At this stage, we don't know how many horses are dead," said David Willmot, president and CEO of the Woodbine Entertainment Group.
"Some horses are missing, and some have gone to Guelph (the veterinary clinic at the nearby University of Guelph, Ont.)."
The blaze totally demolished Barns 7 and 7A, which housed a total of 126 horses.
