Secret Circle, the even-money favorite, held on to win the Grade 2 $500,000 Rebel Stakes on Saturday at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The win gave trainer Bob Baffert his third straight Rebel win, having won last year’s running with The Factor and the 2010 version with Lookin At Lucky. Secret Circle is owned by Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weitman, who also owned Lookin At Lucky.

My Miss Aurelia takes her undefeated record to four with a win in the $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Steve Asmussen trained the filly for the late Jess Jackson's Stonestreet Stables. Corey Nakatani was the winning rider.

The favorite, My Miss Aurelia, finished three lengths in front of Grace Hall who was another six lengths in front of third place finisher, Wemissfrankie. Longshot Self Preservation was another 1 1/4 length in fourth.

The Grade III $250,000 Summer Stakes Presented by TVG offers the winner a ticket to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf as part of the Breeders’ Cup Win & You’re In challenge series. The Breeders’ Cup will be run at Churchill Downs November 4 and 5, 2011.

A field of eight two-year-olds will take to the turf course at Woodbine Racetrack in Ontario, Canada on Saturday for the Summer Stakes.

In the 143rd running of the Grade 1 $1,000,000 Belmont Stakes Animal Kingdom, the Graham Motion trained Kentucky Derby winner, will again face Shackleford, trainer Dale Romans' Preakness Stakes winner. Although Animal Kingdom has been installed as the morning line favorite at 2-1 and Shackleford as the third choice at 9-2 behind 4-1 Nehro, many are touting this race as a match-up of the two Classic winners. Without the Triple Crown on the line, pitting the Kentucky Derby winner against the Preakness winner is the next best option for race fans.
