Upsets Order of the Night in Texas
Stallion Stakes Selma, Texas (September 13, 2003)
- Lady Mallory rallied from off the pace to reel in odds-on favorite
Eagle Lake in the filly division of the Texas Stallion Stakes Saturday
night at Retama Park. Leading rider Jeremy Beasley booted home the
winner for trainer Tommy Morgan. It was Morgan's third win of the
night.
In the colts division, even-money favorite Most Feared failed
to return to his Breeders' Cup form last October when the three-year-old
colt by Commanchero could find no answer to the front-running Fitzroyal.
Gerard Melancon kept Fitzroyal to task and won the seven-furlong
race by six lengths.
Both races were open to horses sired by Texas-based stallions
and each race carried an estimated purse of $45,000.
