Many people thought D. Wayne Lukas would win a 3-year-old stakes race this weekend at Oaklawn Park.  Most thought that would come in the Grade 3 Rebel on Saturday.  However, Lukas got his win a day earlier than expected when Time's Mistress turned the tables on some familiar rivals and galloped home to a big 4 ¾-length victory in the $100,000 Honeybee.

Cotton Blossom made a successful return to racing action with a 2-length win in the $200,000 Florida Oaks at Tampa Bay Downs, stamping herself as a serious contender for the Kentucky Oaks.

  Devil House, ridden by Terry Thompson, extended her winning streak to five in a row with a commanding five-length victory in the $50,000 Martha Washington at Oaklawn Park.

  Richard, Bertram and Elaine Klein's Get Ready Bertie stamped herself as another filly of Oaks quality with an impressive two-length tally in Saturday's $100,000 Tiffany Lass Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on "Road to the Derby" Kickoff Day at Fair Grounds Race Course.
