Six Month Layoff No Issue For War Pilot [01:30]
War Pilot was primed after a layoff, scooting clear in the closing yards to win the $58328 allowance feature Friday night at Hollywood Park. Trained by Mike Pender for owner BJ Wright, the 3-year-old War Front ridgling out of the With Approval mare To Be Approved ran past favored Vaundell in his first start since defeating maidens in a turf route here last Nov. 6. The 5-1 third choice in the field of six, War Pilot, who was ridden by Martin Pedroza, paid $12.20, $3.80 and $3. He ran the six furlongs on grass in 1:08.96 while prevailing by 1 ½ lengths. Vaundell, who got the lead briefly after tracking longshot pacesetter Caught a Flyer, returned $2.20 and $2.10 as the 3-5 choice. Caught a Flyer, who finished 1 ¼ lengths behind Vaundell, paid $3.60 to show. Sammartino, the 4-1 second choice, was fourth, then came Shediak and Markyg. A $60000 purchase at Barretts in March, 2010, War Pilot won for the second time in five starts. He's earned $65570. Although he was unplaced with Shediak, jockey Tyler Baze did win three times Friday evening. Baze took the opener with first time starter Miss Ambition, the fourth on Hunter Creek and the eighth aboard Los Bomberos.

2011 Cicada (G3) - Quantum Miss [01:24]
Quantum Miss showed sharp early speed and held off a late charge from Coax Liberty to post a half-length success in the 19th running of the Grade 3, $100000 Cicada for 3-year-old fillies on Saturday at Aqueduct Racetrack. Looking to rebound off a fifth as the favorite in the Grade 3 Old Hat at Gulfstream Park on January 5, Quantum Miss dueled with Roman Treasure through an opening quarter of 22.49, began to sneak away from that rival nearing the quarter-pole, and resisted a late bid from slow-starting Coax Liberty.

Quantum Miss, the 9-5 favorite in the field of seven, returned $5.80 for a $2 win wager and completed six furlongs on the inner track in 1:11.99. "I was very impressed," said Tony Dutrow, who trains Quantum Miss for owner/breeder Daniel M. Ryan. "She broke right on top, took the worst of it along the backstretch, and held off what looked like a very good field." The Cicada was the second stakes victory for Quantum Miss, victorious in the Mountain Stakes for Pennsylvania-breds at Penn National on November 24. Overall, the daughter of Smoke Glacken is 3-0-1 from 5 starts with $150750 in earnings, including the $60000 winner's share of the Cicada purse.
