Devout Sinner, who finished fourth in last month's Grade 3, $300,000 Oklahoma Derby, gets back to racing with fillies, and on turf, Sunday in the $30,000 Remington Park Oaks. The one-mile race has drawn 10, including The Hess Express, a Kentucky invader who was third in last month's Audubon Oaks at Ellis Park.

COLUMBUS, Neb. - The Nebraska Breeders' Sweepstakes, a pair of $15,000 races for 2-year-olds going six furlongs - one for colts and geldings and the other for fillies - highlight Sunday's card at Columbus.

C. C. Diamond and Mr Clearwater top a field of six in the Juvenile for colts and geldings.

Trainer Cole Norman, who has won five of the last nine stakes carded at Louisiana Downs in Bossier City, La., will be odds-on to add to that total Sunday when he sends out the well-regarded Dancing Dreams in the $40,000 Delta Miss Stakes. The six-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies has drawn seven, and should produce starters for the $75,000 Princess Futurity on Sept. 30.

AUBURN, Wash. - Hastings Park star I'm Free will bring his show to Auburn for Sunday's nine-furlong, $125,000 Emerald Breeders' Cup Derby, and if it plays as well here as it did in Vancouver, fans will be in for a treat.

I'm Free, a gelded son of Free at Last who races for Beverly Green and trainer Henry Miller Jr., has been sensational at Hastings this season, winning five stakes, including his last four starts.

"He has exceeded all my expectations," said Miller. "And I've always liked him."

The takeout rate at Keeneland's fall meet this year will be reduced to 16 percent for all wagers, racing officials said Friday.

The cut will make exotic and superexotic bets at Keeneland the cheapest in the country. Takeout on those bets, which include exactas, daily doubles, trifectas, pick threes and superfectas, was previously 19 percent. Nick Nicholson, the president of Keeneland, said in a release that the track was influenced by the decision this summer by the New York Racing Association to reduce the takeout on most bets.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Even if it means running against last year's Horse of the Year, last year's Preakness winner, and Bobby Frankel, trainer Nick Zito has to feel lucky just to be back at Belmont Park.

ELMONT, N.Y. - E Dubai, runner-up to Point Given in last month's Travers Stakes at Saratoga, is being pointed to the Grade 1 Super Derby at Louisiana Downs on Sept. 23, his connections said Thursday.

The Super Derby, a $500,000 race run at 1 1/4 miles, is the last Grade 1 of the year run strictly for 3-year-olds.

"It's a Grade 1 race, it looks like he'll have a pretty good chance in there,' said Tom Albertrani, an assistant to Godolphin's head trainer, Saeed bin Suroor. "The other option would be the Jockey Club Gold Cup, where he'd have to run against older horses."

AUBURN, Wash. - Neon Queen will have her chance to shine at Emerald Downs on Saturday, when she heads a cast of seven in the $25,000 John and Kitty Fletcher Memorial Overnight Stakes at 6 1/2 furlongs.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Collect Call figures to be a solid favorite in the $175,000 British Columbia Breeders' Cup Oaks Saturday afternoon at Hastings Park. She'll be facing eight other 3-year-old fillies in the 1 1/8-mile Oaks, but none of them has her graded stakes credentials and they won't get a break in the weights, with all starters carrying 121 pounds.

Also on Saturday's card are the $100,000 Sadie Diamond Futurity and the $35,000 Cover Girl Handicap for fillies and mares. Both races are at 6 1/2 furlongs.

EDMONTON, Alberta - Rancour will try to prove his upset victory in the Westerner at Northlands Park Aug. 25 was no fluke when he faces six rivals in Saturday's $100,000 Speed to Spare Championship.

With the distance of the Speed to Spare 1 3/8 miles, Rancour will be asked to travel a sixteenth of a mile farther than in the Westerner, which he won by 7 1/2 lengths under Quincy Welch at 19-1.
