Hold Me Back earns upset in Lane's End

Hold Me Back roared to the lead in the stretch and won the $500,000 Lane's End Stakes on Saturday at Turfway Park in Florence, Ky., but the next step for the long shot hasn't been determined.

Co-favorites Bittel Road (10th) and West Side Bernie (sixth) did not hit the board in a race that has produced numerous Kentucky Derby contenders. But this one didn't appear to boost any into the top echelon of Derby prospects and might have left a few on a lesser route.

Hold Me Back had a modest final time of 1 minute, 49.63 seconds over 1 1/8 miles on Polytrack. Hold Me Back had won his first two races, a maiden race at Arlington Park and an allowance race at Keeneland last fall, but had not competed since November.

Hold Me Back paid $20.20, $9.40 and $7.40. Flying Private returned $22.60 and $11.20 to place. Proceed Bee was worth $9.60 to show.

Stallworth's blood tests remain unreleased

Authorities have yet to release blood tests for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donte Stallworth, who authorities say fatally struck a pedestrian in Miami Beach, Fla., a week ago.

Meanwhile, his attorney is denying media reports that the tests show Stallworth was driving drunk.

Christopher Lyons said neither police nor the state attorney's office have released the results of toxicology tests. They have not said specifically when they will be released.

The Miami Herald and local TV news, citing unnamed people, have reported that Stallworth's blood-alcohol level was above Florida's legal limit.

Also: The Detroit Lions will retire the number 93 for the 2009 season in memory of player Corey Smith, one of three men who died when their fishing boat capsized off the Florida Gulf Coast three weeks ago.
