Stonerside Stable enjoyed a productive week with horses scoring victories on both coasts. Tybalt, a 4-year-old son of Storm Cat who won at ages 2 and 3 in England while in the barn of John Gosden, is now conditioned by Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel in North America. Tybalt's dam is Grade 1 winner Tuzla (FR). The bay colt won a 1-mile allowance race on the turf by 2 1/2 lengths Saturday at Hollywood Park.

Another Frankel charge broke her maiden Sunday in a 1 1 /16-mile race at Belmont Park. Skylighter collared the lead in the deep stretch to win by a neck. The bay 3-year-old daughter of Grade 1 winner Sky Mesa was broken and trained in Aiken by Stonerside Stable's Tim Jones.

Lynn Carlisle and Darlene Anderson's Hark broke her maiden impressively by 1 1/4 lengths in a 6 1/2-furlong race Saturday at Churchill Downs. The John Ward charge was bred by Carlisle, and the 4-year-old filly by Street Cry (IRE) was coming off two impressive performances during her sophomore campaign. Hark spent the winter under the care of Jill Thomas at W.C. and Iris Freeman's Chime Bell Farm.

If you were trying to find your way into the winner's circle Friday at Belmont Park, Looky Yonder set the pace and won a 6-furlong allowance race under the urging of jockey Garrett Gomez by 1 length. Richard Dutrow Jr. trains Lansdon Robbins III's dark bay filly, who is by the 2001 Champion 2-Year-Old Colt in England, Ireland, France and North America, Johannesburg. Looky Yonder was broken and trained in Aiken by Legacy Stable's Ron Stevens.

Daniel Geitner's Parker's Dream won easily Wednesday evening at Charles Town coasting to a 3 1/4-length victory in a 6 1/2-furlong contest. The 3-year-old West Virginia-bred was saddled by Kenneth Gray.

Spring Hill Farm's Rap Tale won a 1-mile race Wednesday at Belmont Park by 4 1/4 lengths. The Todd Pletcher charge was broken and trained in Aiken by Stevens.

Helen Andrews' Forest Retreat followed her 2008 winning debut with a strong second Saturday in a 1-mile and 70-yards allowance race at Prairie Meadows. The daughter of Forest Camp won her first race this year by 5 1/2 lengths, and is conditioned by Anne Mitchell Pezzano.

Dogwood Stable's Slambino dead heated for second in a 1 1/16 miles race Friday at Belmont Park. The Frank Alexander charge was broken and trained in Aiken by Stevens.

Rutledge Farm's Mollie's Brush placed second in a 1 mile race on the turf Thursday at Pimlico. The Jeff Runco charge was also broken and trained by Stevens.
