Dean's Kitten went straight to the lead in the $150,000 Dallas Turf Cup Stakes this afternoon at Lone Star Park and never looked back en route to a decisive two length victory.
Under Julien Leparoux, who won the Ouija Board Distaff Stakes on Wasted Tears earlier on the card, Dean's Kitten was able to establish a narrow lead in the early going as he set a moderate pace of :24.01 and :47.40. In second was Unbridled Heart, while second choice Expansion was last.
As the field rounded the far turn, Dean's Kitten disposed of Unbridled Heart and began to kick clear. Down the homestretch he continued on strongly, running a mile in 1:34.73 on his way to a final time for the mile and a sixteenth in 1:40.90.
Expansion, who ran into some traffic in the stretch, rallied along the inside to finish second, while Unbridled Heart finished third.
