Acting Happy upset winner in Black-Eyed Susan
BALTIMORE (AP) -Acting Happy was the surprise winner in the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, a race in which two riders were thrown from their horses.
Acting Happy, ridden by Jose Lezcano, went off at 10-1 in Friday's Grade 2 race for 3-year-old fillies. Tidal Pool, trained by D. Wayne Lukas and ridden by Calvin Borel, finished third behind No Such Word.
Diva Delight and C C's Pal appeared to click heels in the far turn, a collision that caused two jockeys to fall off their mounts. Kent Desormeaux, who was behind the mishap on co-favorite Seeking the Title, was dumped from his horse and Julien Leparoux was tossed from Diva Delite. Neither jockey appeared to be seriously injured.
Acting Happy paid $22.20 to win and covered the 1 1/8 mile course in 1 minute, 50 seconds.
