| Favorite More Than Most Was Best in the 5th Edition of the $50,000 Guaranteed Lane's End Stallion Scholarship Stakes on Saturday at Lone Star Park
Grand Prairie, Texas (Saturday, June 18, 2016) - Douglas Scharbauer's More Than Most, trained by Bret Calhoun, was victorious in tonight's 5th running of the Lane's End Stallion Scholarship Stakes at Lone Star Park.
With jockey C. J. McMahon up, the three-year-old filly by Indygo Mountain out of Better Than Most, by Elusive Quality completed the seven and a half furlong turf route in 1:26.99. The course was labeled firm.
Expect Royalty, winner of the 2015 Lane's End edition was second by three quarters of a length, and it was another head back to Whiskey Eyes in third. Fractions were 22.87, 45.77 and 1:09.42.
"With the horse coming on the outside of me the last sixteenth of a mile, the way she dug in was really impressive," said winning rider C. J. McMahon. "I really like her a lot."
The win was McMahon's third on the night's card, and his third stakes win of the meeting. The horse and rider won the Texas Stallion Stakes earlier in the meet.
Mutuels returned $4.80, $2.80 and $2.60. Expect Royalty paid $3.00 and $2.80. Whiskey Eyes returned $3.80. Slew's Song, Texas Belle, Infectious, My Silver Lullaby and Seven Violets completed the order.
After tonight's win, More Than Most has earned $161,378 from her new career record of 11-4-1-3
