Good and Lucky won a three-horse battle in the deep stretch to take the $70,000 Formal Gold Stakes by a half-length Saturday at Monmouth Park.

Trained by Michael Matz and ridden by Joe Bravo, the 6-year-old gelding covered the 1 1/16 miles over a fast main track in 1:43 4/5 and paid $9.20, $5 and $3.

Good and Lucky was fourth as the field of seven headed for home but overtook Actin Good, who led most of the race, and Encaustic in the final strides to earn his second stakes win this year. The victory boosted his career earnings to $453,915.

Actin Good held on for second, edging Encaustic by a nose, and paid $6.40 and $3.60. Encaustic returned $2.80.

Doctor Fremantle nosed Look Here on the line to win the Group 3, $107,000 Arc Trial at Newbury on Friday, but neither of them is likely to line up for the Prix de lArc de Triomphe at Longchamp on Oct 4.

Trained by Michael Stoute, the 3-1 Doctor Fremantle came from last to first in the six-runner field to snatch victory at the last moment from the 4-year-old filly Look Here, who had finished third, beaten all of two noses, in the Group 1 Coronation Cup in June. The winner, a 4-year-old son of Sadlers Wells had Campanologist back in third, a length behind, as he traveled the 1 3/8 miles on good to firm ground in 2:19.97 with Ryan Moore aboard.

Running for the first time since July 9, when he took the 1 1/2-mile, Group 2 Princess of Waless Stakes at Newmarket, Doctor Fremantle has also won a pair of Group 3s at Chester. Owned by Khalid Abdullah, he is one of a number of European-based Juddmonte runners who is being considered for a tilt at one Breeders Cup race or another.

Nassau Stakes winner and English Oaks runner-up Midday, trained by Henry Cecil, is earmarked for the Filly and Mare Turf after a trial in the Prix de lOpera at Longchamp on Arc Day. Her stablemate, King Edward VII Stakes winner and St. Leger fourth Father Time, is being considered for the Marathon, while the Stoute-trained Zacinto will use either the one-mile Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on Sept. 26 or the 1 1/4-mile Champion Stakes at Newmarket on Oct. 17 as a prelude to either the Mile or the Classic.

Perhaps most intriguing of all is Spanish Moon. Winner of the Prix Foy, the course and distance Arc prep for older horses, he has both the Arc and the Canadian International under consideration before a run in either the Turf or the Hong Kong Vase.

Midshipman, last seasons champion 2-year-old, returned Friday with a 3-length victory over Just Ben in a $49,000 allowance race at Belmont Park.

Making his first start since capturing the Breeders Cup Juvenile on Oct. 25, 2008, at Santa Anita, Midshipman dueled with Just Ben turning for home before taking charge while drifting out toward the center of the track. The time was 1:15.83 for the 6 1/2 furlongs.

Midshipman was sidelined by a soft tissue injury in his left front leg while winter training in Dubai. The victory in the delayed comeback improved his record to 4-for-5.

This was his first race on dirt, having run previously on synthetic tracks in California.

Richard Migliore was aboard for trainer Saeed bin Suroor as Midshipman paid $5.70, $3.40 and $4. Just Ben returned $3.30 and $3.20. More Than a Reason paid $4.40 to show.

The Kentucky Derby Museum will remain closed for the rest of the year as the tourist attraction showcasing the worlds most famous horse race tries to recover from flood damage.

Flash flooding that hit Louisville in early August swamped the basement and main floor of the museum, located just outside Gate 1 at Churchill Downs.

Museum officials said Thursday that insurance estimates for damage and cleanup exceed $4 million.

The officials say the nonprofit museum will have to pay about $100,000 in deductibles and will suffer substantial revenue losses during the closure.

Museum spokeswoman Wendy Treinen says nearly 2,500 items from the collections and archival research departments were damaged beyond repair. Those items included photographs, newspaper clippings, race meet programs and racing forms.

Richard Maloufs Big Dealer earned a front-running victory in the $42,000 allowance feature at Monmouth Park on Thursday.

Trained by Eddie Broome and ridden by Carlos Marquez Jr., Big Dealer raced the five furlongs over a good turf course in :56 1/5 seconds to win by a length. The 6-year-old paid $7.60, $4.40 and $3.20 in winning his third straight race on the Monmouth turf course.

Big Dealer started his streak on July 9 and continued on July 23. All his wins have come in front-running fashion.

Uncle Gidge, a 16-1 shot, rallied for second and returned $14 and $6.80. General Perfect finished third, a neck farther back, paying $3.20 to show.

Jardin led all the way Thursday, beating Honest to Betsy by 4 1/2 lengths in the $47,000 allowance feature for fillies and mares at Belmont Park.

Swiftly overcoming a slight stumble at the start, Jardin set all the fractions with Ramon Dominguez aboard for trainer Tom Albertrani. The 3-year-old improved to 3-for-5, running the six furlongs in 1:09.91 on the fast track.

The 4-5 favorite, Jardin paid $3.70, $2.40 and $2.10. Honest to Betsy returned $2.60 and $2.10. Aunt Mabel paid $2.10 to show.

Grand Couturier rallied to beat Winchester by two lengths Sunday in the $158,500 Bowling Green Handicap on the turf at Belmont Park.

A multiple Grade 1 winner, Grand Couturier earned his first win in four starts this season. Alan Garcia was aboard for trainer Bobby Ribaudo as 6-year-old ran the 1 3-8 miles on the yielding course in 2:15.86.

Its a relief, Ribaudo said of the first win of the campaign. The horse was aggressive down the backside, which he hadnt been in his last few races.

Grand Couturier paid $5.20, $3.10 and $2.20. Winchester returned $4.40 and $3.20. Thabazimbi paid $5.20 to show.

Sunday Geisha overtook Love That Dance in the final strides to win the $70,000 Trenton Stakes by a half-length at Monmouth Park on Sunday.

Trained by Bruce Levine and ridden by Joe Bravo, the 4-year-old filly covered the six furlongs over a fast main track in 1:09 4/5 and returned $5, $3 and $2.60. Love That Dance held on for second and paid $5 and $3.60, while All of Her Twist was a neck back in third and returned $3.40.

In the co-feature, At the Disco drew off in the stretch to win the $60,000 Lincroft Handicap, beating Hermosillo by 1 lengths.

Ridden by Eddie Castro and trained by Mary Hartmann, the 5-year-old horse covered the 1 1/8 miles on the main track in 1:51 1/5 and returned $5.20, $3.20 and $2.40. Hermosillo paid $4.40 and $3, while Luna Park was 3 3/4 lengths back in third and returned $2.40.

The wooing of Rachel Alexandra ended a few hours after it began.

Despite the lure of an extra $1 million by the Breeders Cup, Rachel Alexandras co-owner said his sensational 3-year-old filly wont run in the $5 million Breeders Cup Classic at Santa Anita Park on Nov. 7.

Jess Jackson said late Friday he was humbled by the interest Rachel Alexandra has generated, but Rachel already has completed a brilliant long campaign.

Earlier Friday, in an effort to lure Rachel Alexandra to the Breeders Cup to run against undefeated Zenyatta, the Breeders Cup said it would add $1 million to the winners share of the Classic if both horses ran in Americas richest race. Jackson put an end to that possibility quickly, reiterating his dislike of Santa Anitas synthetic surface.

These false tracks create potential for injury, a risk I am not willing to take with Rachel, he said in a statement to The Associated Press.

Rachel Alexandra has a nine-race winning streak, including victories over males in the Preakness Stakes, the Haskell Invitational and the Woodward Stakes.

The 5-year-old mare Zenyatta is 12-0, with most of her wins coming on synthetic surfaces at Californias racetracks.

As to the Breeders Cup, my position has not changed, Jackson said. My concerns are well known about the tracks in California. Bottom line, despite an increase in the purse, she will not race at the Breeders Cup this year.

If both horses ran in the 1 1/4-mile Classic, the winners share would have been increased to $3.7 million from $2.7 million.

Before Jacksons comments, Breeders Cup Ltd. president Greg Avioli acknowledged that the race has not been under consideration by Rachel Alexandras connections, (but) we wanted to make sure that the Breeders Cup did everything in its power to make the prospect of competing at Santa Anita in November as attractive as possible.

Racing fans around the world have made it clear that they would like to see Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta face each other and the best horses from the U.S. and Europe in the Breeders Cup Classic, Avioli said.

Top female horses rarely run against the boys in the Classic; instead they run in the $2 million Breeders Cup Ladies Classic, which is scheduled for Nov. 6. Champion mare Azeri is the most well-known female horse to run in the Classic, finishing fifth behind Ghostzapper in 2004.

This was not the first offer to try to match Rachel against Zenyatta.

Last month, online wagering services TVG and Betfair Ltd. offered to up the purse of the Beldame Stakes at Belmont Park on Oct. 3 to $1 million from $600,000 if Rachel Alexandra and Zenyatta are in the starting gate.

While we are humbled by the huge enthusiasm that Rachel Alexandras achievements continue to generate, Jackson said, the best interest of the horse must always come first.

Steve Asmussen has become the fifth trainer to win 5,000 races.

The trainer of Preakness-winning filly Rachel Alexandra reached the milestone at Woodbine in Toronto when Passion Rules won the seventh race. The Texas-based trainer had 14 scheduled starters at five different tracks on Friday.

Dale Baird has 9,445 victories, followed by Jack Van Berg, King Leatherbury and Jerry Hollendorfer.
