VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Heads turned when Rod and Lorraine Rodriguez spent the highest price ever in a Washington State Sale for Collect Call in the Marshall Naify Dispersal Sale last August. The price tag of $250,000 seemed like a lot of money for a 2-year-old filly who had just finished third in a minor stakes at Emerald Downs.

It turns out she was a bargain for the Rodriguez family and with the $105,000 Collect Call ($2.90) took home winning the British Columbia Breeders' Cup Oaks at Hastings Park, her total earnings are now $379,055.

POMONA, Calif. - A deep closer won the $49,500 Phil D. Shepherd Stakes at Fairplex Park, but not the one most bettors expected. Literal Prowler ($12.20) rallied from last to outfinish late-runner Grey Memo, the 8-5 favorite, by three-quarters of a length in the 1 1/16-mile stakes.

NORTH RANDALL, Ohio - U S S Tinosa ($11.80) and his trainer, Larry Richardson, each won their first race in the $75,000 Juvenile Stakes at Thistledown.

U S S Tinosa defeated favorite Watch Me Fire by a length, and it was 10 lengths back to Truth Matters, who finished third in the field of 10 Ohio-bred 2-year-olds.

Richardson has had his trainer's license only since last month.

Generous Rosi ($10) continued a remarkable resurgence in his new career on dirt by posting an easy victory in the Grade 3 $82,500 Turfway Park Fall Championship.

Taken straight to the lead from his outside post by jockey Lonnie Meche, Generous Rosi was never seriously threatened in the 1 1/8-mile race, winning by four lengths over Storm Day, the 8-5 favorite in a field of six older horses. The victory was the second in a row for Generous Rosi since trainer Niall O'Callaghan moved the 6-year-old horse to dirt.

MIAMI - Happily Unbridled ($7.60) proved she is back on top of her game by rallying to a 7 1/4-length victory over Company Storm in the $50,000 Judy's Red Shoes Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at Calder.

Happily Unbridled, badly outrun in graded stakes three times during the spring before being sidelined with ulcers, rated just off the early pace of North Park Legend. Under leading rider Cornelio Velasquez, Happily Unbridled launched her bid wide on the final turn and easily ran down Company Storm.

SAN MATEO, Calif. - Lexicon ($6), ridden by Russell Baze, used a pace advantage to upset 1-5 favorite Swept Overboard and win the $150,000 Bay Meadows Breeders' Cup Sprint by three-quarters of a length.

Lexicon broke like a shot and quickly opened up by a length, with the other three entrants racing as a team. After a quarter in a slow 22.75 seconds, Lexicon opened a lead of nearly three lengths en route to a 44.59 half.

La Reine's Terms ($49.40) improved his record to 4 for 5 over Pimlico's turf course when he defeated eight other older horses in the $97,000 Bald Eagle Breeders' Cup Handicap.

John's Call, the 6-5 favorite, never fired after racing in midpack in the one-mile turf race, finishing seventh under Jean-Luc Samyn. A multiple Grade 1-winning earner of nearly $1.6 million, the 10-year-old John's Call was receiving Lasix for the first time after having bled at Saratoga in his last start.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. - Two-year-old claimers continued to do amazingly well at Arlington when Double Zero Seven won the $75,000 Spectacular Bid Stakes.

Double Zero Seven, claimed for $25,000 earlier this summer at Churchill Downs, won the Gilded Time Stakes here three weeks ago, and the 2-year-old filly Vicki Vallencourt, a maiden claiming winner, won the Top Flight Stakes here over the Labor Day weekend.

The highly anticipated matchup between graded stakes winners Xtra Heat and Big Bambu ended at the quarter pole of Saturday's six-furlong Endine Stakes at Delaware Park. That's where Xtra Heat disposed of Big Bambu en route to a 5 1/4-length victory.

Ivy's Jewel finished 2 1/2 lengths in front of a tired Big Bambu, who took third in the field of five in the Grade 3 Endine, a $150,000 race for fillies and mares.

Owned by Kenneth Taylor and partners and trained by John Salzman, Xtra Heat ($3.20) set fractions of 21.55 seconds and 44.12 under Rick Wilson, and won in 1:09.64.

ELMONT, N.Y.- A pair of undefeated 3-year-old fillies will be the focal point Wednesday for bettors chasing a pick-six carryover of $56,238 at Belmont Park.

Descapate, who faces four rivals in a second-level allowance that goes as race four, and Blinded by Love, who tops a seven-horse field entered in a preliminary allowance heat in race eight, figure to be on most pick-six tickets. The question is, will handicappers need to go any deeper in those races?
