Dullahan rallied furiously in the stretch under jockey Kent Desormeaux to upset the $400,000 Dixiana Breeders' Futurity (gr. I) by one length.
Trained by Dale Romans and owned by Donegal Racing, Dullahan sat about mid-pack early on as 50-1 shot Musical Flair sprinted away to take the early lead while setting fractions of :22.67 and :46.15. He was being tracked by favored Majestic City, while Take Charge Indy was in a good spot on the outside.
Majestic City boldly ran past Musical Flair on the far turn and opened up a clear lead entering the homestretch. Out Entourage and Take Charge Indy were gamely giving chase, but not making up any ground. However, Dullahan was charging hard on the far outside and wore the favorite down to win in strong fashion.
Optimizer came on to be third, while Our Entourage finished fourth. The final time was 1:43.12.
