SPEARSVILLE lights up the tote

SAM HOUSTON RACE PARK, Thurs Feb17-05, Race Nine,
6f, 3yo Texas-bred Maidens

SPEARSVILLE, bay colt, Apr 02, [TX],
(Petionville-FANCY FORBES by FERDINAND)

came to life on the turn while three-wide, rallied to
get up for second at 25-1, behind the winner who went
off at even longer odds of 48-1. SPEARSVILLE was beaten only
a length, and should improve off that tightener.

Coupled with an 18-1 shot running third, plus a dead-heat for
fourth, one of which was the 4-5 favorite, created some monster payouts.

Winner paid 99.00
SPEARSVILLE paid 35.00, and 20.40
