Haimish Hy won the first stakes of his career in the El Cajon Stakes at Del Mar with an outside rally through the stretch, and then topped that performance in Sunday's $250,000 Hollywood Derby.

Julien Leparoux and Kent Desormeaux have been suspended three racing days apiece for their roles in the disqualifications of their mounts in the Clark Handicap on Friday at Churchill Downs.

Victor's Cry, returning to the scene of his biggest win, rallied from ninth to first in the final half-mile of the $250,000 Citation Handicap to take the Grade 2 race for older turf horses on Saturday at Hollywood Park.

Rare is the horse who captures a Grade 2 race to lose its maiden condition, but that's what Santiva did Saturday in emerging best in a thrilling three-horse finish to capture the $165,000 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes under the lights at Churchill Downs.
