R Holiday Mood dueled with Funny Sunny throughout Sunday's Hurricane Bertie Stakes at Gulfstream Park, and just got the best of that rival when keeping her neck in front on the wire of the 6 1/2-furlong affair under jockey John Velazquez.

Trainer Bob Baffert had to go back to the drawing board after Drill dropped five straight, but the Hall of Famer evidently came up with the right game plan as the colt returned to his best in Sunday's Grade 2, $147,000 San Vicente Stakes at Santa Anita.
