Joyful Victory turned the tables on frequent rival Brushed by a Star, when she won the inaugural $400,000 Houston Ladies Classic over that one Saturday night at Sam Houston Race Park, and in the process set a track record.
Joyful Victory led throughout for a 4 1/4-length win over Brushed by a Star, and covered the 1 1/16 miles for fillies and mares in 1:42.30. It was another 1 3/4 lengths back in third to Sisterly Love. The win was one of two stakes scores on the card for the trainer-jockey team of Larry Jones and Rosie Napravnik, who also took the $75,000 Champion Energy Services in course record time with Ikon Ike.
“This has been a good night,” said Jones.
