By Mary Eddy - NYRA Press Office OZONE PARK, N.Y.- Team D's graded stakes-placed Redifined will strive for her first stakes victory in Saturday's $120000 Stewart Manor, a six-furlong outer turf test for juvenile fillies, at Aqueduct Racetrack.

Bay Bridge looked a bit special when winning on his return at Sandown last month but whether he warrants being a general 5-4 for the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot on Wednesday is another matter. He's up against better opposition and is unproven on faster ground, plus a messy renewal is on the cards with none of the five runners being…

It was a very cool, very breezy Saturday at Churchill Downs for the Breeders' Cup in November 2006.
