Selma, Texas (September 28, 2002) - Trainer Cole Norman shipped in three horses for the two $50,000 divisions of the Texas Stallions Stakes Saturday night at Retama Park, and his journey from Louisiana to Texas was well worth it.

Dancing Dreams held off a fast closing Pancho's Affair to capture the filly division and Fitzroyal rallied up the rail to overtake Onlynurimagination to win the colts division. Fitzroyal's entry mate, Royal Honey ran third.

Winning jockey Buck Harris, aboard Dancing Dreams said, “ Cole told me just to stay out of her way and I did.” Harris actually rode a smart race to stay off a very hot pace and close on the leaders as they turned for home.

Gerard Melancon, who at age 38 is “having the best year of my career” with over 180 wins a win in the Grade One Vosberg recently at Belmont, rode Fitzroyal to an easy two length win in an excellent time of 1:10 and 3/5 for the six furlongs.

Weldon Cloninger suffered a broken leg when Wildess was unruly in the gate before the fourth race. Cloninger will be out of action for at least six weeks to three months.
