Majestic Hussar turned back a determined bid from 4-5 favorite Palace Malice to win a seven-furlong allowance race at Gulfstream Park in excellent fashion on January 19th.
Over a track labeled sloppy, the speedy Majestic Hussar got off to a very quick beginning at the start of the race and quickly assumed command of the lead, setting fractions of :22.65 and :45.62 while being tracked by Palace Malice and Road Agent. City of Weston, Jay Eye See, and Pepe were also close to the pace, while All Keyed Up and D'nied Permission were the trailers by a large margin.
Rounding the far turn, Majestic Hussar began to open up on the field, while Palace Malice gamely tried to stay with him. Turning for home, Majestic Hussar had a lead of several lengths, and while Palace Malice was able to close some of the gap in the final eighth of a mile, Majestic Hussar held on gamely to win by 2 1/4 lengths in 1:22.53 seconds.
City of Weston finished third, many lengths behind the top pair, while Road Agent rounded out the superfecta. D'nied Permission, All Keyed Up, Jay Eye See, and Pepe completed the order of finish.
The winner is trained by Eddie Keneally and was ridden to victory by Jose Lezcano. Owned and bred by Joseph Witek, Majestic Hussar is a son of Majestic Warrior out of the Distorted Humor mare Distorted Blaze.
