1) The Fall Highweight at Aq on Thanksgiving Day -- 11 entered, including a two
horse D Jake entry and Jim Covello et al's River Rocks. Four of the 11 are cross
entered in the 4th at Penn the night before, the Fabulous Strike Stake,
River Rocks, Strapping Groom, Tightend Touchdown and Weekend Hideaway. The Fall
Highweight is a $300K Gr III; the Penn race is for $200K and is not graded.

2) What do the Hollywood Derby on Saturday and the Matriarch on Sunday at Del Mar
have in common? Both are $300K GR I races to be run on the turf. Sparkling Review,
coming off four straight easy wins on four different turf courses (the last 2 wins
in graded stakes) is nominated for both of these events. I've not made a single bet
on the Del Mar "Bing Crosby" meet as of yet, but might go on a "der Bingle" betting
binge if this formful filly appears in the entries, and might finally get a square
mutuel as she competes either against colts or older fillies and mares.
