MIAMI - Grey Ballet served notice she was back on top of her game last month when she finished second in the Calder Oaks. She left no doubt Saturday after rallying to a half-length victory over Blondaway in the $60,000 Lenta Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on the turf.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Tails of the Crypt unleashed a big stretch kick to mow down Streakin Rob in the final strides for a three-quarter-length score in Saturday's $112,500 Display Stakes for 2-year-olds at Woodbine.

Tails of the Crypt raced six lengths off the early lead under Jake Barton, who swung him wide for the drive. Streakin Rob set rapid fractions of 23.21 seconds and 46.93 in the 1 1/16-mile race, and had a two-length lead at the eighth pole.

Purses for Oaklawn Park's first condition book next year will average a record $225,000 to $250,000 a day, thanks in part to the success of Instant Racing at the Hot Springs, Ark., track, which opens for a 54-day meet Jan. 25.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The same owner-trainer team that captured the Kentucky Derby here last spring with Monarchos was back in the Churchill Downs winner's circle Saturday after Snow Dance earned a hard-fought victory in the $172,500 Mrs. Revere Stakes.

Like Monarchos, Snow Dance is a gray 3-year-old.

"I love those grays," said owner John Oxley.

With Craig Perret aboard for trainer John T. Ward Jr., Snow Dance had to work virtually every step of the Mrs. Revere, a Grade 2, 1 1/16-mile turf race restricted to 3-year-old fillies.

It took a photo to separate the first three finishers in Saturday's $50,000 Pennsylvania Futurity at Philadelphia Park.

Oswayo, who was five lengths behind with only an eighth of a mile remaining in the seven-furlong stakes for statebred 2-year-olds, finished a nose ahead of Pal's Partner in 1:23.63. Previously unbeaten Volley Ball, the even-money favorite, was another neck back in third.

MIAMI - With his 97 victories, good for third in the rider standings at the recently concluded Calder meeting, Manny Aguilar served notice that he would be a major factor during the Tropical at Calder meet. With a dozen victories over the first 10 days of the new meet, Aguilar has grabbed the top spot in the standings and is off to a flying start in quest of his first riding title.

JAMAICA, N.Y. - The Valley Stream Stakes for juvenile fillies at Aqueduct has not been known for producing future stars. But it would not surprise many if more than one of the six entered for Sunday's $75,000 Valley Stream for 2-year-old fillies, being run for the first time as a Grade 3 race, were to show up in Grade 1 races next year.

In just a few starts, Forest Heiress, Proper Gamble, A New Twist, and On Parade have shown enough talent to be pegged as horses with a future. Cherokee Girl and Vesta complete the field.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Late-running Feathers goes for her fourth consecutive victory Sunday in the Grade 3 $137,875 Bessarabian Handicap for fillies and mares at Woodbine.

Feathers, who won her first stakes in the 2000 Bessarabian, was absent from late April until early September because of a virus. She won a Fort Erie allowance in her first start back, and then won a classified allowance here.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - There is something for everyone in the $100,000 Moccasin Stakes for 2-year-old fillies at Hollywood Park on Sunday.

Want a front-runner going seven furlongs? Bay Meadows stakes winner Cinnful Bride fits the bill. "She's a speed filly, we'll see how far she goes," trainer Caesar Dominguez said. "At Hollywood Park, speed has been holding."

Want a late-runner? Runaway Pro suits. "She's not a speed horse," trainer Mike Mitchell admitted. "But if there's a lot of speed that's stopping at the eighth pole . . . I think I have her ready."

PORTLAND, Ore. - Tiny Rocket Dash puts his six-race winning streak on the line at Portland Meadows on Sunday in a field of 10 in the $10,000 Oregon-bred Juvenile Quarter Horse Championship at 400 yards.
