CHICAGO - It's almost like watching the same race over and over again. A day after Emeraldforajudge led all the way in the National Jockey Club Oaks, a week after Hail the Chief led all the way in the National Jockey Club Handicap, two weeks after Pretty Gale led all the way in the Lady Hallie Handicap, and three weeks after War Emblem led all the way in the Illinois Derby, With Ability led - you guessed it - all the way to win the Sixty Sails Handicap on Sunday at Sportsman's Park.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Benefitting from two key scratches in the Grace 3 Hawthorne Handicap, Queen Of Wilshire raced gate to wire Sunday in the mile and a sixteenth race for fillies and mares at Hollywood Park. Morning-line favorite Ask Me No Secrets scratched because of a temperature and a "warm foot," while expected pacesetter Stormy Society scratched to look for an easier spot.

Woodbine cancelled its 10-race card after the fifth race on Sunday because of poor track conditions. Heavy rains early Sunday morning created a very sloppy track. Racing resumes on Wednesday night.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A torrential downpour at Churchill Downs on Saturday resulted in the scratch from the featured of morning-line favorite Mayakovsky, the only horse in the race who could run back in next Saturday's Kentucky Derby.

Sky Terrace won the $112,800 Derby Trial, beating odds-on favorite Cashel Castle by two lengths, but the major news of the day focused on Mayakovsky.

Patrick Biancone, the trainer of Mayakovsky, made the decision to scratch his colt midway through the card, after watching steady rain soak the track into sloppy condition.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Tempera, last year's Eclipse Award-winning juvenile filly, spiked a fever Friday morning, putting her status for Friday's Kentucky Oaks in jeopardy, Tom Albertrani, assistant trainer for Godolphin Racing Inc., said.

"It's unlikely,' said Albertrani on Saturday, indicating he wanted to wait another 24 hours before officially declaring Tempera's status, "unless she gives us all the right signs that she's back to herself.'

JAMAICA, N.Y. - Pyrus briefly lost the lead but came on again to win the $112,100 Fort Marcy Handicap at Aqueduct on Saturday when the 9-5 favorite, Sharp Performance, was pulled up in deep stretch with a leg injury.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Even though he was scheduled to face Decarchy and Sarafan, ranked first and second among turf males in Daily Racing Form, trainer Darrell Vienna was eager to run Suances in Saturday's Grade 2 San Francisco Breeders' Cup Mile at Bay Meadows.

"This is not a horse to duck challenges with," Vienna said explaining why he was entering the European Group 1 winner in northern California's highest graded race.

GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - For the sixth time in six runnings, the favorite was beaten in the Grade 3, $300,000 at Lone Star Park on Saturday when Unrullah Bull, a $25,000 claim a year ago, darted clear in the stretch to win the race by 1 1/2 lengths. Hal's Hope, the 6-5 favorite, finished fourth.

Reba's Gold finished second, 1 1/2 lengths clear of third-place finisher Compendium.

"This is the biggest purse I've ever won, and the best claim I've ever made," said Cole Norman, who trains Unrullah Bull for owner Jim Donnan.

CICERO, Ill. - For jockey Larry Sterling, business went on as usual Saturday at Sportsman's Park, where Sterling rode his fourth stakes winner in a meet less than two months old. He did it the same way he won the other three, taking Emeraldforajudge straight to the lead, making all the pace, and holding off a belated rally from Summer Delight to win the $100,000 National Jockey Club Oaks by a three-quarters of a length.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Favored Wake at Noon vaulted over the $1 million mark in career earnings with a daylight score in Saturday's Grade 3, $165,000 Vigil Handicap at Woodbine.

It was the third straight stakes victory for Wake at Noon, who pressed front-running Dream Launcher through moderate splits of 22.77 and 45.48 seconds. He assumed command at the top of the stretch, and went on to prevail by 1 1/4 lengths over a closing Exciting Story.
