INGLEWOOD, Calif. - The old bay mare, she is what she used to be.
Royally Chosen, still going strong at age 6, went over the $500,000 mark in career earnings with a front-running victory in the $88,500 on Sunday at Hollywood Park.
Royally Chosen took the early lead, surrendered it to rivals Cyber Slew and Our Mango on the turn, then re-rallied and won going away by three lengths in the 7 1/2-furlong race for California-bred fillies and mares. Cyber Slew nosed out Tucked Away for second. Lucky Spirit was fourth and Our Mango last in the field of five.
