Both races were 1 mile long and rewarded automatic bids to the Breeders' Cup.

Warriors suspend Jackson Golden State suspended swingman Stephen Jackson for two exhibition games for conduct detrimental to the team.

The team said the suspension is for Jackson's behavior Friday night against the Lakers. He picked up five fouls plus a technical foul in less than 10 minutes of play, then went to the locker room and never returned.

Jackson has been unhappy with Golden State's decline since 2007. He was fined $25,000 by the NBA last month for publicly requesting a trade.
