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.

Palace Malice entered to race on 1-19-13
Palace Malice, who broke his maiden impressively at Saratoga last summer before going to the sidelines with sore shins, will make his much-anticipated return on Saturday in the first race at Gulfstream Park, a seven-furlong allowance optional claiming event.
Trained by Todd Pletcher and owned by Dogwood Stable, the son of Curlin defeated a number of good horses in his maiden victory, including Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint winner Hightail; Nick Zito's promising allowance winner Flying Bird; recent Gulfstream allowance runner-up Gunderman; and Bill Mott's good colt Gunderman.
Palace Malice will be ridden on Saturday by Javier Castellano, who was aboard the colt at Saratoga.
Other prominent entrants include City of Weston, who was most recently beaten a half-length in the Spectacular Bid Stakes; 7 1/4-length maiden winner Jay Eye See; and allowance optional claiming race runner-up Majestic Hussar.
