EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - Saturday night saw two stakes and two career turnarounds for the victorious fillies in the pair of $75,000 co-features at the Meadowlands.

In the Summit Stakes for three-year-old fillies, Unrestrained finally earned an added-money win after a runner-up effort in the Monmouth Breeders' Cup Oaks this summer and a crushing 20-length loss to Flute in the Alabama in her last start. She moved her record to 3-for-12 for owner Edward P. Evans by getting past a stubborn Latour for the half-length win in 1.41.53 and gave Eibar Coa a riding triple.

ANDERSEN, Ind. - Bob and Beverly Lewis' Orientate used his speed to good advantage Saturday night, posting a strong 3 1/4-length win in the $314,100 Indiana Derby.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Before Saturday, California owner Paul Reddam was uncertain if he would attend the Breeders' Cup at Belmont Park on Oct. 27. "I was just hoping to get a ticket," Reddam said.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Trainer Bobby Frankel will now have company aboard Aptitude's bandwagon.

Aptitude became a major player for the $4 million Breeders' Cup Classic on Saturday afternoon by rolling to an emphatic 10-length victory in the $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup before 13,653 at Belmont Park.

Generous Rosi, the pacesetter, held second, three-quarters of a length ahead of 80-1 shot Country Be Gold. It was nine lengths back to Albert the Great, the 6-5 favorite who tired badly after chasing Generous Rosi around the turn.

ELMONT, N.Y. - First, Exogenous had to survive a health scare in the days leading up to Saturday's Grade 1 Beldame. Then, she had to survive a stewards' inquiry.

Exogenous emerged from both incidents unscathed and became a major player in the 3-year-old filly division Saturday with a 1 1/4-length victory in the $750,000 Beldame at Belmont Park.

Flute, the 4-5 favorite and the leader of the 3-year-old filly division, finished second, a head in front of Spain. Critical Eye, Serra Lake, Beautiful Pleasure, Pentatonic, and Irving's Baby completed the order of finish.

ELMONT, N.Y. - After crushing four rivals in Saturday's $500,000 Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park on Saturday, Officer heads to the Breeders' Cup Juvenile as the heavy favorite.

With no whip encouragement from jockey Victor Espinoza, Officer, the 1-5 favorite, was a 3 3/4-length winner over Jump Start in the Grade 1 Champagne. Heavyweight Champ, the second choice at 5-1, finished third, a half-length behind the runner-up. Saarland, who got off to a horrible start, and Thunder Days completed the order of finish.

You established herself as the top 2-year-old filly in the East by rolling past Cashier's Dream approaching the top of the stretch and drawing clear for a 6 1/4-length victory in the Grade 1, 500,000 Frizette.

Cashier's Dream, the Spinaway winner and even-money favorite, finished second, nine lengths ahead of Riskaverse. Treasure Coast Gem and Cherokee Girl completed the order of finish.

ELMONT, N.Y. - Forbidden Apple proved again that he is a monster at Belmont Park by winning the $250,000 Kelso Handicap, a Grade 2, for the second year in a row.

Forbidden Apple, under Jose Santos, saved ground throughout the one-mile Kelso on the grass, and slipped through on the rail in midstretch for a half-length win over the late-charging Sarafan. It was another half-length back to City Zip, who was making his turf debut, in third.

The final time over a yielding course was 1:36.77. Forbidden Apple returned $6 as the favorite in the nine-horse field.

ELMONT, N.Y. - When the gates opened for the fifth race at Belmont Park on Sept. 9, many of those who made Bella Bellucci the 1-2 favorite surely let out a groan. The debuting juvenile filly fell out of the gate under Mike Smith, spotting her seven rivals at least one length in the six-furlong race.

Those groans quickly turned to glee, however, as Bella Bellucci, without any encouragement from Smith, moved into contention around the turn and eventually drew clear for a 5 3/4-length victory while racing five wide the entire trip.

ARCADIA, Calif. - The field for Monday's Henry P. Russell Handicap at Santa Anita was spread around last year, racing in Europe, the Middle East, South America, South Africa, and California.

On Monday, the field of six starting in the restricted $75,000 race should offer clues as to which new faces bear watching in major stakes in coming months.
