ANDERSON, Ind. - Down by the Sea got her third straight win at the Hoosier Park meet in the $38,650 Indiana Stallion Stakes for 2-year-old Indiana-bred fillies. A race later, Victory Punch won the $38,850 Terre Haute to end her string of runner-up finishes to Down by the Sea.

Down by the Sea ($2.40), bet down to 1-5 in the field of nine fillies sired by registered Indiana stallions, took command through the turn under jockey Bill Troilo and rolled to a six-length victory in 1:15.02 for six furlongs over a good track.

MIAMI - Drawing the extreme outside post position in a full field is usually the kiss of death over the Calder turf course. But such was not the case Saturday, when Timo and Vous broke from post 12 in their respective races and ended up in the winner's circle after the $100,000 Mecke and $100,000 Hollywood Wildcat Stakes.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Frank Lyons, the trainer turned broadcaster, has a breezy personality that makes it seem like he's on vacation when he's at work for TVG, so it only figures that he worked on his vacation.

ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Favored Chris's Bad Boy ($4.80) broke the six-furlong track record under Jono Jones with an overpowering victory in the $137,375 Kennedy Road Stakes.

Chris's Bad Boy covered the distance in 1:08.05, which was .12 faster than the previous record, set by Great Defender in the 1999 Kennedy Road. Chris's Bad Boy earned $82,425 for Alpine Stable and trainer Vito Armata, who claimed him for $47,500 last April.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - King Robyn won his fourth consecutive stakes, and sixth of the year, in Friday's $150,000 Hollywood Turf Express at Hollywood Park.

With the victory, King Robyn has won stakes at each of the six Thoroughbred race meetings in Southern California - Santa Anita winter-spring (San Pedro Stakes), Hollywood spring-summer (Harry Henson Stakes), Del Mar (Green Flash Handicap), Fairplex Park (Foothill Stakes), and Oak Tree at Santa Anita (Morvich Handicap).

ALBANY, Calif. - Argentine-bred Star Cross ($15) scored his first U.S. victory in the $85,500 Forty-Niner Handicap at Golden Gate Fields.

Star Cross, 6, rain in blinkers for the first time and overcame trouble on the first turn to win the 1 1/16-mile race by one length over Truly a Judge in 1:42.26. Pacesetting favorite Long Gone Con, who grabbed a quarter coming out of the gate, was third, another three-quarters of a length back.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The reconfigured Matriarch Stakes on Sunday at Hollywood Park may have the best field of turf females assembled this year for a race without the Breeders' Cup in its title.

For the first time in the 23-year history of the Matriarch, the $500,000 race is being run over a mile on turf, having been run at 1 1/8 miles in recent years.

The Matriarch has been enthusiastically supported, drawing the winners of four Grade 1 or Group 1 races in 2003 - Etoile Montante, Heat Haze, Island Fashion, and Musical Chimes.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The Hollywood Derby ends the West Coast turf season for the 3-year-olds, but in recent years, it has served more as a preview of coming attractions. The last two winners of the derby, a Grade 1 race, were Denon and Johar, both of whom went on to have brilliant careers as older horses.

They're hunkering down for a long winter in Florence, Ky. That's where Turfway Park will conduct the longest continuous meet on the Kentucky racing circuit, a four-month stand that gets under way Sunday with the Holiday Inaugural Stakes.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Quest finished a nose behind Evening Attire in the $582,000 on Friday but was awarded his first stakes victory after the Churchill Downs stewards determined Evening Attire had interfered with him at several intervals in the stretch.

"If he doesn't come out on me, I win," said Javier Castellano, who rode Quest for trainer Nick Zito.
