Another $48,700

Calumet Farm did it again last week. Wistful, a sleek chestnut filly trained by Calumet's Ben and Jimmy Jones. (TIME, May 30), charged through the stretch at Belmont Park to win the Coaching Club American Oaks by a half length. The victory stamped Wistful, an odds-on favorite, as easily the best three-year-old filly in the U.S.; it also cinched another $48,700 for Calumet Farm.

Other winners last week:

P: At Garden State Park, N.J., chestnut Palestinian won the $50,000-added Jersey Stakes, the race-of-the-week for colts, beating pace-making Olympia. His time for the mile and a quarter, 24 4/5, broke the track record set by Citation in 2:03 in the same race last year.

P: At Toronto's Woodbine Park, a brown colt named Epic won Canada's race-of-the-year, the 89-year-old King's Plate (worth $10,000 plus 50 guineas).
