Sultana Pulls Upset in G3 Orchid in Seasonal Debut
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL – Lou Donato, Theodore Manziaris, Paul Borrelli and Lanni Bloodstock’s Sultana pulled off a late-rallying upset off the shelf in Saturday’s $175,000 Orchis (G3) at Gulfstream Park.
Unraced since winning her stakes debut in the Nov. 8 Maple Leaf (G3) on the Tapeta course at Woodbine, the Kevin Attard-trained daughter of Always Dreaming outran her 18-1 odds while defeating her more experienced rivals in the 62nd running of the 1 ½-mile turf stakes for older fillies and mares, one of 10 stakes, five graded, worth $2.675 million in purses on a 14-race program headlined by the $1 million Curlin Florida Derby (G1) presented by Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms at Xalapa.
