HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - No trainer-jockey team in the last decade at Gulfstream Park has been more successful than Bill Mott and Jerry Bailey. On Friday, the Hall of Fame pair struck again when Orchard Park rallied to win the 16th running of the Grade 3, $100,000 Palm Beach Stakes.

Orchard Park, the solid favorite in a field of 12 3-year-olds, triumphed by 1 3/4 lengths over 20-1 shot Lord Juban and returned $4.60 to win. It was another

1 1/4 lengths back to Red's Top Gun in third, and another half-length to Union Place in fourth.

JAMAICA, N.Y. - , who rose from obscure claimer to Grade 1 winner, may attempt to conquer a new world.

Peeping Tom, who won last year's Grade 1 Carter Handicap, has been invited to run in the $1 million Godolphin Mile at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse in Dubai on March 23, and trainer Pat Reynolds is seriously thinking about running.

"Any time I hear about all them zeroes I'm thinking about it," Reynolds said Friday. "That race is one million bucks."

ALBANY, Calif. - Golden Gate Fields has a rare turf marathon on Sunday.

The starter allowance race, for older horses who have started for a $12,500 claiming tag, will be run at 1 3/8 miles. The distance has been used in stakes races at Golden Gate Fields but is seldom offered in overnight races.

Ten horses were entered in the marathon, including Krisisrisen, who won at the distance in November 2000, and Colonial Secretary, who was third at the distance in the Grade 3, $100,000 Premiers at Hastings Park in British Columbia last October.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Two swings, two misses. The allowance race that trainer Shug McGaughey is seeking for Kentucky Derby candidate to fill for both Saturday and Sunday, which has McGaughey making contingency plans.

Saarland has not raced since he rallied to win the Nov. 24 Remsen Stakes, a race that stamped him as a solid Derby prospect. Ideally, McGaughey wants to get a seven-furlong prep into the stretch-running colt before going back against tougher company at longer distances.

CYPRESS, Calif. - Irisheyesareflying, who was third in the San Antonio Handicap on Feb. 3, is scheduled to make his next start in the $1 million Santa Anita Handicap next Saturday.

This year, there is no defending Horse of the Year in Tiznow to face in the meeting's richest race.

Fourth in the 2001 Big Cap, Irisheyesareflying will be the only member of that 12-horse field to return for this year's race.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Kings Command, who earned a 111 Beyer Speed Figure for his explosive win in the $50,000 King Cotton Stakes at Oaklawn Park on Feb. 2, returns Sunday in the first race, a six-furlong allowance that has drawn some of the best sprinters on the grounds, all pointing for the $50,000 Hot Springs Stakes March 29.

"It looks like all the old gang is back for another round," said trainer Jesse "Sonny" Wigginton, who will send out Bidis, a two-time stakes winner last season at Oaklawn, to meet a field of five that is completed by Sand Ridge, Chindi, and Slider.

NEW ORLEANS - After his run in Sunday's Taylor's Special at Fair Grounds, will head for Dubai early next month to run in the $2 million Golden Shaheen on March 23.

Dennis Richard, who co-owns Bonapaw with his twin brother, Jim, feared he had been passed over for an invitation to the race, but was contacted again last week. According to Richard, the shipping company coordinating travel for American horses to Dubai told him Bonapaw had been invited to race.

"It's official," Richard said Friday. "We heard this morning."

ARCADIA, Calif. - Four fillies and mares entered the Grade 3 Las Flores Handicap on Saturday at Santa Anita, a six-furlong race that boils down to a classic David-and-Goliath battle between Above Perfection and Kalookan Queen.

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - This is the time of year that the so-called snowbirds from Canada flock to south Florida, ecstatic to escape their harsh winter climate for a week or two.

Understandably, their showcase track back home, Woodbine, is shuttered for Thoroughbred racing. In the meantime, Gulfstream capably fills the void. With the 36th running of the $150,000 here Saturday, Gulfstream once again pays tribute to the meet-long support shown by fans and horsemen from the Great White North.

Who will adapt best? That may be the deciding factor when 12 well-matched older horses, most of them shippers, meet in Saturday night's $200,000 . The 1 1/8-mile race is the richest of the season at Sam Houston Race Park and one of four stakes on the card Saturday.

"It looks like one of those races anybody can win," said Richard Scherer, who trains 118-pound highweight Mystery Giver. "I think it's going to be about who gets the trip, who takes to the new course, and who handles the shipping."
