Longshot Calamity Kate wires Delaware Oaks, Lovely Maria

finishes fifth

George and Lori Hall's Calamity Kate (Yes It's True) was sent off the 54-1

longest shot in Saturday's $300,375

Delaware Oaks (G3), but ran like a favorite when wiring the 1 1/16-mile

contest by 1 3/4 lengths under jockey Edgar Prado. The Kelly Breen-trained filly

stopped the clock in 1:41.79, just missing the track record of 1:41.52 set on

July 4, 1998.

Lovely Maria (Majesticperfection), who was sent off the 1-5 favorite while

making her first start since taking the Kentucky Oaks (G1), finished fifth on

the wire.
