Dullahan Stuns Hansen to Win 2012 Blue Grass Stakes

With odds of 5-1 to win the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes, Dullahan stunned heavy -180 favorite Hansen in Saturday’s $750,000 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland. 

Hansen went straight to the front from the No. 4 post, but Desormeaux positioned Dullahan outside a group of horses in the final stretch and finished impressively.

Dullahan paid $8.40, $3.60 and $3. Hansen, at 6-5 odds, returned $3 and $2.60 while Gung Ho, at 31-1 odds, returned $9.20.

Meanwhile, Bodemeister managed to win the Arkansas Derby by a solid 8 lengths as the near even-odds favorite.  The Arkansas Derby is viewed as one of the most critical Kentucky Derby prep races.  Bodemeister will be heading to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby May 5.
