Sometimes, planning can be fruitless.It was for Proud Run in the $75,000 All Brandy Stakes yesterday, as the 5-year-old mare altered her game plan by surging to challenge for the lead, capturing it, then holding off Earth to Jackie for a convincing length victory over a firm turf course at Laurel Park.The daughter of Proud Truth completed 1 1/8 miles in 1 minute, 46 2/5 seconds while scoring her first victory of 1999 after a string of five seconds and thirds."We planned to lay off the speed, but it didn't work out that way," said jockey Mark Johnston.

METAIRIE, La. -- Republican presidential candidate David Duke says he is "proud" of his years as a Ku Klux Klan leader and still believes in "genetic differences" based on race.Duke also said that blacks and other minorities now have the upper hand in America, and that he sees "minority problems as a threat" to the white culture he loves."Obviously the scale is tipped over in their favor, and what happens is the rights of the majority come down," he said in an interview at his suburban New Orleans campaign office.

Jockey Ramon Dominguez had to find an avenue for Crafty Toast yesterday in the $75,000 All Brandy Stakes at Pimlico.

Crafty Toast, trained at Delaware Park by Bruce Jackson, was supplemented to the race, which attracted most of the top female turf runners in the area. "They sent her to the farm from New York a couple of months ago with the intention of breeding her, but she started to act so fresh and look so good, they kept her training," Jackson said of Bohemia Stable.

On a dreary afternoon along North Point Road, the rain made tiny bomb bursts on the hood of Jim Rhoda's truck while he waited for his son outside a car dealership. Like most Americans, he was struggling to define the catastrophic events that have shaken the nation since the terrorist attacks Sept. 11. But closer to his heart, the son he now waited for - bright, handsome, a new father - is a combat Marine, and destiny has summoned him to go into harm's way as war is on the wind. Just like Jim Rhoda himself, when he was young and stood straight as an arrow and looked like a kid on a Marine Corps recruiting poster.
