INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The Hollywood Park spring-summer meeting begins on Wednesday with the $75,000 Harry Henson Stakes for 3-year-olds sprinting on turf, a race that's a difficult puzzle to solve.

The spring-summer meeting, which runs through July 21, will be available to home bettors in California for the first time this year through telephone and Internet betting, provided the Thoroughbred Owners of California and Hollywood Park reach an agreement on distribution of revenue. As of Monday, the two sides were still in negotiation.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Cetewayo has been recycled more times than a Coca-Cola can. Now an 8-year-old with just 23 lifetime starts, Cetewayo has won stakes in four of the last five years, but only after returning from lengthy absences, as per the familiar mad-genius methods of trainer Michael Dickinson.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Santa Anita ended its winter-spring meeting on Sunday with a rise in mutuel handle but a drop in on-track attendance.

The 85-day meeting had an average overall handle of $12,050,726, a gain of 9 percent. The most significant gain came through nationwide handle, which rose 13 percent to $5,024,307. There were smaller gains in on-track handle and betting throughout the state.

GROVE CITY, Ohio - Trainer Larry Roe has been suspended for the remainder of the calendar year and fined $250 by the Beulah Park stewards after a sweep of his barn area uncovered hypodermic syringes, needles, and bottles of injectable substances.

The ban follows an April 11 ruling against Roe in which Gone Gone, who won the eighth race here on March 3, tested positive for Guanabenz. Roe was suspended 90 days and fined $250 for the incident and Gone Gone was disqualified from all purse money.

JAMAICA N.Y. - The Paraneck Express continued to roll when longshot Liveitupnow ($83) battled back in deep stretch to overtake Multiple Wins by a head in the $100,000 Park Avenue Division of the New York Stallion Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at muddy Aqueduct.

Meanwhile, heavy favorite Trial Prep ($2.80) also came back after surrendering the lead in the stretch to win the $100,000 Times Square Division for 3-year-old colts and geldings.

NORTH RANDALL, Ohio - Easter Butter assumed command before a half-mile and posted a 6 1/2-length win over 10 Ohio-bred filly and mare rivals in the $40,000 Angenora Stakes at six furlongs. Honey Bee Mine finished second, a half-length in front Eye Slew the City, who took third.

Under jockey Luis Gonzalez, Easter Butter got the six furlongs in 1:10.26, a stakes record.

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. - Medium Rare ($5.20) returned from a five-month layoff to capture the $25,800 Budweiser-Tondi Handicap Saturday.

Medium Rare, usually a stalker, carried jockey Ken Shino to the front of the six-furlong race after a quarter in 22.80 seconds. He moved clear going into the far turn after a half in 46.20, led by two lengths at the top of the stretch, and defeated Yankee Ruler by a half-length.

Medium Rare ran the six furlongs in a meet-best 1:12 on a fast track tightened by afternoon showers.

CICERO, Ill. - Hail the Chief set a fast pace on a dull racetrack, but still had plenty left and won the Grade 3, $200,000 National Jockey Club Handicap by 11 1/4 lengths.

On the surface, the result will look typical for a Sportsman's track that usually promotes inside speed. But Saturday, Sportsman's played fair and slow, and the 47.73-second half-mile split Hail the Chief set was very quick for a nine-furlong race.

From 1981 through 2000, D. Wayne Lukas had at least one horse in each year's Kentucky Derby. Lukas missed the Derby last year, and it appeared as if he might watch the race from the sidelines again. But Proud Citizen's runaway victory in last Saturday's Coolmore Lexington Stakes at Keeneland put Lukas right back where he is accustomed to be on the first Saturday in May.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Belterra, one of the top contenders for the May 3 Kentucky Oaks, underwent corrective throat surgery after finishing third in her last start, but is expected to run in the Oaks.

"She's come back just the way we'd hoped," said Carl Nafzger, who trains Belterra for Bob Manfuso.
