Velez guided the son of Gold Alert to wins in the Dr. Fager and Affirmed divisions.

A son of Notebook purchased for $36,000 at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Co.'s August yearling sale, Booklet has won three of four, including the two-turn, one-mile Dover Stakes last out by more than four lengths. In his lone defeat, he finished third to Jump Star in the Saratoga Special (gr.

Paul Robsham's Silk Concorde taking the Susan's Girl.Pharmstar kept the trainer's streak alive this year with an impressive score in the Desert Vixen. The homebred daughter of freshman sire Adhocracy was the strong half of a 3-5 entry in the Susan's Girl, but finished second behind Hardacre Farm's Bold World.Redoubled Miss also is a homebred daughter of Adhocracy and had a bad day when unplaced in the Susan's Girl. However, she bounced back with a good effort to finish second by a head behind Ms Brookski in the subsequent Brave Raj Stakes going a mile and 70 yards on Sept. 22.Rosemary Homeister Jr. has ridden Ms Brookski in all of her six starts for veteran horseman Reed Combest, father of the filly's owner, and will be back in the saddle Saturday.
