Hunter Valley Farm's Grade I-winning filly A Mo Reay top eight fillies and mares entered in the $400,000 Fleur de Lis (G2) Saturday at Ellis Park.
The 1 1/16-mile Fleur de Lis was slated as Race 8 of 11 with a post time of 3:22 p.m. (CT). The fantastic program from Ellis Park is headlined by the $1-million Stephen Foster (G1).
