LAFAYETTE, La. - Beginning with One Tough Raiser's victory in the $100,000 Shine Young Futurity on the Fourth of July, and continuing with the Marathon Series on Friday and the start of the Quarter Horse season on Saturday, it was a busy week here.

One Tough Raiser, a son of I'ma Hell Raiser, kept his perfect record intact in the Shine, sprinting clear soon after the start under Steve Bourque and winning by just over two lengths in 59.40 seconds for the five furlongs. Trained by Kearney Segura, he has yet to be headed in his three-race career.

SHAKOPEE, Minn. - Trainer Edward Ross Hardy once again dominated the Canterbury Park Quarter Horse meet, which concluded last Sunday. Hardy won 16 races from 45 starts to lead the standings. He also won some of the races that counted the most.

He won two stakes last weekend when Capone's Vault captured the Grade 3, $38,300 Northlands Futurity and One Rare Bug powered clear in the Grade 3, $26,350 Canterbury Park Derby.

NORTH RANDALL, Ohio - The Grade 2, $300,000 Ohio Derby has been moved back to its traditional mid-July date after being run on Sept. 29 last year. The Ohio Derby drew only six starters last year, prompting it to be moved to July 20 this year.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - Parting is out for revenge. She finished second at 1-5 last month in a division of the $122,500 Texas Stallion Stakes, and she returns Sunday in the $100,000 Silver Spur Breeders' Cup at Lone Star Park.

Parting won her first career start, June 3, by 12 lengths, earning an 84 Beyer Speed Figure. She made her stakes debut one race later in the Texas Stallion Stakes, and went out quickly in the 5 1/2-furlong race. She ran the opening quarter in 21.76 seconds before being overtaken in the stretch by Tiffany Jennifer.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - It's a strange thing, having a partner as a rival. But with the closing of the Churchill Downs meet Sunday, Arlington's battle to put out a good product just became easier.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Your Illinois-bred gets a maiden race and two allowance conditions, then it's out of statebred company and into the big, scary world of open racing. It's a tough jump for a horse to make, and he needs a little luck to do it.

But how much luck does has trainer Christine Janks have left?

She used much of it Sunday, when Janks won three times in the first five races.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Purses at Hastings Park are expected to jump by roughly 10 percent in the near future. One reason for the increase is that business has been good since the Woodbine Entertainment Group took over the track on May 1. The per-race average handle on live racing has increased by around 20 percent, and while attendance figures haven't been kept since free admission was introduced, it is clear that many more people are attending the races and the mood at the track is buoyant.

Another reason for the increase is more than $2 million in "found money."

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan - Friday night's $6,500 James Leakos Sophomore is a lopsided affair: Royal Brittany takes on five apparently overmatched foes in the one-mile stakes for Saskatchewan-bred 3-year-old fillies.

Sporting two wins and four seconds from six lifetime starts, Royal Brittany towers over her opponents, who total just three wins from 25 combined appearances.

Royal Brittany, owned by Ed, Don, and Ken Heuchert, won both the Saskatchewan Futurity for fillies and the Larry Lashyn Futurity last year.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Anglian Prince was back on the work tab Wednesday, going six furlongs in 1:14 under exercise rider Oneil Walcott on the fast main track.

"It was a nice, comfortable work," said trainer Mort Hardy, who is pointing Anglian Prince to the July 21 Prince of Wales Stakes at Fort Erie. The $500,000 Prince of Wales, a 1 3/16-mile race for Canadian-bred 3-year-olds, is the second leg of the Canadian Triple Crown.

MIAMI - Caller One, one of the premier sprinters in the world, fractured a sesamoid in his right front leg during a workout at Belmont on Tuesday and will likely be retired.

was scheduled to be the 123-pound highweight for Saturday's $400,000 Smile Sprint Handicap at Calder.

"He was working a half-mile for the race on Saturday," said James Chapman Sr., whose son James Jr. trains Caller One. "The exercise rider said coming through the lane he felt him take a misstep when he went to change leads, although he completed the work and seemed to walk back to the barn okay."
