LAFAYETTE, La. - Ricky Faul rode seven winners during a four-day race week that concluded Monday night and now finds himself atop the rider standings at Evangeline Downs with 19 victories.

C.J. Woodley, in front for most of the meet, continues to be selective in the number of mounts he accepts and is now tied for second with 17 victories while winning at a more than 20 percent clip. Jamie Theriot was aboard six winners last week and also has 17 victories.

Remington Park in Oklahoma City has made adjustments to its two richest Thoroughbred stakes, the Grade 3 Oklahoma Derby and DeBartolo Memorial Breeders' Cup Handicap, for its upcoming meet that runs 76 days, from Aug. 10 to Dec. 23.

The purse for the Oklahoma Derby has been reduced from $300,000 to $250,000, but it will be an added money race this year. So if 10 horses were to start, for example, the purse would swell back up to $300,000. The 1 1/8-mile race is scheduled for Aug. 25.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - It was a long time coming but owner George Farr now has plenty to celebrate after Gonetofarr, trained by Reade Baker, gave him his first stakes win at Woodbine in last Sunday's Fury.

And while the winner's share of $98,100 was nice enough in its own right, Farr can dream of an even bigger payday in the $500,000 Labatt Woodbine Oaks, a 1 1/8-mile race for Canadian-bred 3-year-old fillies here June 8.

MIAMI - Old friends Best of the Rest and Hal's Hope appear destined to bump heads once again as the connections of both horses are pointing their stars to the $100,000 Memorial Day Handicap on May 27.

Best of the Rest proved he is back on top of his game after posting his second straight convincing win in last Saturday's Phantom on Tour Handicap. Now 7, Best of the Rest closed out the Gulfstream Park meet with a three-length triumph over a similar group in the Unbridled Handicap.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Because of wet conditions, the two turf races scheduled as part of the pick 6 Wednesday at Churchill Downs have been transferred to the main track, leading to a slew of scratches.

The pick 6 carryover for Wednesday is $348,152, the largest in nearly seven years. As of 11:15 a.m. Eastern, the Churchill main track was full of moisture but sealed, and barring more rain, the track appeared to have a chance to be good or fast by first post, which is 3:10.

Here are the scratches from the pick 6 races:

Race 3 - None.

AUBURN, Wash. - A small but intriguing band of six 3-year-old fillies will compete at 5 1/2 furlongs in the featured race on Thursday.

The race is for $16,000 claiming fillies who have never won two races, and Vampira seems an excellent fit after running a strong second in a similar race at five furlongs on April 21.

Vampira, from the barn of Debbie Van Horne, contested the early fractions in the April 21 race before yielding and losing by a length to Lady Buccaneer, who won in a fast clocking of 57.20 seconds.

AUBURN, Wash. - Horses can change dramatically between their 2- and 3-year-old seasons, and that is apparently as true of divisions as it is of individuals.

Last year's crop of juveniles at Emerald Downs, especially the males, was generally regarded as sub-par. None of the stakes for the division was won in a fast time, and some were excruciatingly slow.

Medaglia d'Oro, who rallied to finish fourth in the Kentucky Derby, will have a new Hall of Fame jockey for the May 18 Preakness Stakes, with Jerry Bailey taking over for Laffit Pincay Jr., trainer Bobby Frankel said Tuesday.

Medaglia d'Oro got off to a poor start in the Derby on Saturday, then, because of the slower-than-expected pace, was caught in traffic for much of the race. "He was in trouble from the get-go," Frankel said.

Medaglia d'Oro was finishing well at the end of the race, but was still eight lengths behind the runaway winner, War Emblem.

The Meadowlands racetrack in New Jersey has scheduled two early-evening Thoroughbred races on May 15 and 16 to start its usual nighttime harness racing card.

The Thoroughbred races, run on turf, will go off at 6:35 p.m. and 7:20 p.m. both nights, with the harness card following on the dirt track at 8 p.m. A Thoroughbred-harness daily double will link the last Thoroughbred race and first harness race, officials with the Meadowlands said.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The filly-mare turf division, already the deepest division at Hollywood Park, is about to get stronger. On Thursday, streaking Snowflake and graded-stakes comebackers Reine de Romance and Imperatriz Rafaela race 1 1/16 miles in a tough nonwinners-of-three allowance that could have stakes ramifications.

All three fillies are qualified to leap into stakes competition following the seventh-race feature Thursday, in which Snowflake is likely to be favored among the field of seven entered in the $58,000 allowance.
