Trainer Phil Gleaves is still not certain whether Mambo Meister is better on turf or dirt. But one thing he is sure of: Mambo Meister is at his best over Calder's main track, where the gelding will shoot for his second graded stakes victory of the meet.

If trainer Jim Cassidy is right -- that Evening Jewel fancies turf over synthetic or dirt -- then the Grade 2 Honeymoon Handicap on Monday at Hollywood Park could turn out to be a one-filly race.

Zardana, who beat 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra in the New Orleans Ladies in March, is likely to make her next start in the $250,000 Ogden Phipps Stakes at Belmont Park on June 12, owner Arnold Zetcher said.

Kentucky shipper Exhi dominated a quality field under Robby Albarado in the 55th running of the $159,300 Marine Stakes Saturday at Woodbine.

Thus far, it has been a pretty good Triple Crown for trainer Dale Romans. It could get a lot better.

Heart Ashley ultilized her speed to get the jump on her eight rivals and rolled to a 1 1/4-length victory in Saturday's $250,000 My Juliet Stakes at Philadelphia Park.
