Winless in just three starts since her stellar sophomore campaign, Shantisara left no doubt that she still has her old spark in Saturday’s $200,000 Hillsborough (G2) at Tampa Bay Downs.

Newly purchased for $600,000, Temple City Terror earned her third stakes win of the season in Friday's Long Island S. (G3) at Aqueduct.

Virginia Joy stole a ticket to the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1) by toppling 1-5 favorite War Like Goddess in Saturday’s Flower Bowl (G2), and Annapolis could be on a path to the Mile (G1) after his odds-on conquest of the Saranac (G3).

Irish invader State of Rest sprang a 21-1 surprise in Saturday’s $1 million Saratoga Derby (G1), while the other two turf stakes on Whitney Day went to favorites War Like Goddess and Flavius.
