LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Nasty Storm was scheduled to be sold at the November Sales at Keeneland this week. But after the filly won her third straight race by wiring the field Saturday in the Grade 2 $222,200 Churchill Downs Distaff, she was withdrawn from the sale and will remain in the barn of trainer and part-owner Dallas Stewart.

Nasty Storm was entered to sell as part of the Eaton Sales consignment. Eaton co-owner Reiley McDonald is one of five partners who race Nasty Storm, who has earned more than $342,000. McDonald did not know where the filly would run next.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Yougottawanna, who had never run in a graded stakes, upset Officer, one of the nation's top 2-year-olds, in Saturday's $125,000 California Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita.

Officer, a three-time major stakes winner, was returning a week after finishing fifth as the 7-10 favorite in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Belmont Park.

Sent off at 2-5 in the California Cup Juvenile, Officer appeared on his way to a victory in early stretch.

MIAMI - Stakes-winning juveniles like Ms Brookski, Carey's Gold, Juggernaut, and O'Rocky have already proven their ability on the main track. Now they will all try to show their mettle on turf as well, as they top the fields for Saturday's $60,000 Lulu's Ransom and Fabulous Frolic stakes at Calder.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Poetically, Canada's champion 2-year-old filly last year, seemed to be in a rut heading into Sunday's Jammed Lovely Stakes at Woodbine.

But Poetically took a major step toward salvaging her sophomore season with a sharp score over favored Beautiful Belle in the $143,370 feature.

"She ran like the real Poetically," said Roger Attfield, in his office here Monday morning. "She certainly was her old self yesterday."

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Trainer Abraham Katryan, fresh off a successful weekend at Woodbine, will send out Amazonian Racekey in Wednesday's Woodbine headliner for fillies and mares.

A field of five was drawn for the 1 1/16-mile preliminary allowance race worth $58,100.

Amazonian Racekey has banked $106,979 this season while winning three of nine outings. She toppled $16,000 claiming nonwinners-of-three company in her second start of the meet, and then made her way up in company, eventually winning a $32,000 nonwinners-of-three July 21.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - His options are plentiful and enviable. Ken McPeek soon will plot out a course of action for his dynamic 2-year-olds, Repent and Harlan's Holiday, a task in which he is reveling.

"This is the best," McPeek said the morning after Harlan's Holiday trounced a solid field in Sunday's Iroquois Stakes at Churchill Downs. "You love having problems like this."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - No wonder racing fans say they have favorite horses. Old warriors like Buff never seem to go away, their reliability exceeded only by their desire. Buff has been a fixture at Churchill Downs since early in his 3-year-old season, when he developed into a successful turf specialist for Frank Brothers by winning the Jefferson Cup.

JAMAICA, N.Y. - There aren't many turf stakes on the New York Racing Association calendar that trainer Bill Mott hasn't won. But Tuesday's $75,000-added Pilgrim at Aqueduct has been a stumbling block for the Hall of Fame trainer.

Mott has finished second in the past two runnings of the Pilgrim, a 2-year-old grass race, with King Cugat and then Baptize, two horses whose Pilgrim losses can be forgiven as they have gone on to earn more than $1.7 million between them.

This year, Mott has the probable Pilgrim favorite in Miesque's Approval.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Tuesday isn't exactly known as the day you showcase your finest Thoroughbreds, either at Churchill Downs or virtually any other track in North America. So when a couple of stakes-caliber fillies surfaced in the eighth race here Tuesday, most horseplayers might have been mildly surprised.

De Bertie, winner of the Rampart and Sabin handicaps, and Maltese Superb, most recently second in the Grade 3 Matron at Arlington Park, are the principals in a field of six fillies and mares in the feature race, a $59,800 allowance at 1 1/16 miles.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Saturday's California Cup program at Santa Anita was a day for the former claimers.

Four of the five winners of races worth $150,000 or more were acquired by their current owners through the claim box.

The biggest winners on Saturday were the partnership that owns Irisheyesareflying, the winner of the $250,000 California Cup Classic.
