■ Dead heats are a rare occurrence, but what transpired in Keene land's fifth race might be a first. Nergal, piloted by Garrett Gomez, captured the 11⁄8-mile allowance race on the turf but there was a dead heat for both second and fourth. Telling and French Beret dead-heated for second while Birdbirdistheword and Musketier each hit the wire simultaneously for fourth.

■ Trainer Ken McPeek reported Thursday morning that Dixiana Stables Inc.'s War Kill came out of her upset victory in Wednesday's Grade II Beaumont in good order. "She's the little engine that could," McPeek said. "She just wants to beat some horse. I thought Julien (Leparoux) rode her great."
