MYTHICAL POWER (Congaree) and EUROEARS (Langfuhr), who served up a thrilling
duel in the April 24 Texas Mile S. (G3), will clash again over an extra
sixteenth of a mile in Monday's Lone Star Park H. (G3). The $300,000 contest anchors the seven-stakes Memorial
Day program, dubbed Lone Star Million Day.
Mythical Power is two-for-two over the Grand Prairie, Texas, oval, having
cruised by 7 1/2 lengths in the 2009 Lone Star Derby (G3). The Bob Baffert colt

Maxxam Gold Cup H. hero FIFTEEN LOVE (Point Given).
