Eight to contest Furl Sail

MAY GATOR (Green Alligator) and MY MISTY PRINCESS (Acceptable) lead a

contingent of eight fillies and mares in Thursday's $60,000 Furl Sail H.

at Fair Grounds. The five-year-old May Gator, who comes off a neck loss in the

Cardinal H. (G3), will run under the guidance of Jose

Martinez Jr. Fellow 120-pound highweight My Misty Princess has one stakes

win under her belt this year, recording a nose decision in the Bluebonnet S.

in late October. She will retain the services of jockey Jamie Theriot for

Thursday's 1 1/16-mile contest.

FUN HOUSE (Prized) will be attempting to improve off a third-place finish in

the Katy S. at Sam Houston. The Steven Asumussen charge already includes a

victory in the Buena Vista H. (G2) and a runner-up spot in the Santa Ana H. (G2)

on her resume this year.
