ROMAN LADY COMES THROUGH FOR BETTORS IN DEBUT AT GGF
ALBANY, CA. - February 4, 2010 - Roman Lady, a half-sister to millionaire
multiple stakes-winner Bold Chieftain, made a winning career debut at
Golden Gate Fields Thursday.
Pounded down to 1-to-2 odds by the handicappers, Roman Lady rallied
from last in a field of five to defeat 25-to-1 long shot Tapit So Lightly by
1 1/2 lengths in a six-furlong maiden allowance sprint for 3-year-old
fillies.
Roman Lady, ridden by Frank Alvarado, was timed in 1:12.09 and paid
$3.00. A Kentucky-bred filly by Roman Ruler, Roman Lady is out of the dam

Saturday captured the $500,000 Sunshine Millions Classic at Santa Anita with
the 7-year-old horse Bold Chieftain.
Roman Lady is owned in partnership by Dwaine Hall, Ken Robinson and
the Morey Family Trust. Hall and Robinson are part owners of Bold
Chieftain.
