Reputed Testamony came from well behind to nip Timely Warning at the wire in the $200,000 Maryland Classic, the feature of the seventh annual Maryland Million at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

Timely Warning, looking to win the Classic for the third year in a row, finished a head behind the winner. Timely Warning had led most of the way, then gave way in the stretch to both Reputed Testamony and Frugal Doc.

Frugal Doc was caught between horses, and rider Charlie Fenwick claimed foul against Kent Desormeaux, who rode the winner. The horses did bump in the stretch, but not enough to cause the stewards to change the result.

Reputed Testamony covered the 1 1/4 miles in 2:03 4/5 on a track rated good.

He paid $9.20, 4.80 and 2.60.

Timely Warning, who went off as a slight favorite over Frugal Doc, returned $4.00 and 2.40. Frugal Doc paid $2.40.

Little Bold John, the 10-year-old gelding who was a two-time Classic winner and was looking to pass Kelso on the all-time earnings list, finished sixth.

Deputation, who shipped in from New York, won the Maryland Oaks.

Silvered won by 6 1/2 lengths and Stark South was the winner by a neck as Louisiana Downs presented two graded races in a single day for the first time in the track’s 18-year history at Bossier City, La.

In the Grade III, $150,000 Golden Harvest Handicap, jockey Marco Castaneda kept Silvered in the middle of the pack before making her move on the far turn in the 1 3/8-mile turf race for eight 3-year-old and older fillies and mares.

In the Grade III, $150,000 Louisiana Downs Handicap, Laffit Pincay Jr. kept Stark South close for much of the 1 3/8-mile turf test, took the lead on the turn, then withstood a late charge by For You A Wish in the race for 3-year-old and older horses.

Stark South, owned by Patricia Elia and trained by John Russell, ended a streak of three third-place finishes with his first graded stakes victory.
