March 13 (UPI) -- It was a weekend of upsets in American horse racing, including a shocker in the final stop on the "Road to the Kentucky Derby."
Things were a little better ordered on the global front, with action anchored by a popular win in the first leg of Japan's fillies Triple Crown.
The Road to the Roses
Trendsetter's 32-1 upset victory in Saturday's $400,000 Grade III Stonestreet Lexington Stakes at Keeneland certainly confirmed the weekend's trend, but also ensured that the Lexington, final leg of the "Road to the Kentucky Derby," would not produce any changes in the Derby field.
Trendsetter, a Modernist gelding trained by Ben Colebrook, raced midfield until about the three-sixteenths pole, kicked into gear and drew clear to win by 2 1/4 lengths over The Hell We Did.
