2nd-Lone Star, $33,000, Msw, 5-12, 2yo, 4 1/2f, :52.58, sy, 5 1/2 lengths.
GLEE (f, 2, Honor A. P.–Red Tabby, by Bluegrass Cat), sent off at 9-2 for this soggy unveiling, pressed 2-1choice Big Rasee (Clearly Now) through a :22.36 opening quarter. Edging ahead of that rival after a :46.20 half, the Texas-bred filly gave the boys an education in humility as she rolled home a 5 1/2-length winner over the favorite. Firster Game Runner (Game Winner) was third. With the victory, Glee becomes the second winner for her freshman sire (by Honor Code). The winner's dam, while in foal to Warrior's Reward, was purchased by No Escape Ranch's Heidi Bailey for $23,000 at Keeneland November in 2012. Red Tabby, also responsible for an unraced 3-year-old by Maclean's Music, was bred to Tacitus last term. Sales history: $60,000 Ylg '23 FTKOCT. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $19,740.
