Selma, Texas (August 30, 2003) - Topango, a Kentucky-bred daughter of Distant View, won her third race in a row as she held off a game Homemaker to take the $100,000 La Senorita Stakes by a head.

The two-year-old filly blasted out of the gate and engaged pacesetter Smoothmovinangel for the early lead in the one-mile turf race. After running the first three-quarters in a contentious 1:11.70, Topango shook loose from that rival in the stretch and dug in through to hold off a fast-closing Homemaker by a head.

Trained by John Locke and ridden to victory by Weldon Cloninger, Jr., Topango ran the one mile in 1:36.33 and paid $9.60 as the 4-1 second wagering choice.

Blondz Away finished a non-threatening third, 7 ½ lengths behind the top two Truth By Ruth was another length back in fourth.
