Lone Warrior won a maiden special weight race for Louisiana-breds June 29 at Evangeline Downs to give freshman stallion Lone Sailor his first winner as a sire.
Norman Stables' Lone Warrior was making his second lifetime start for trainer Lonnie Briley. The 2-year-old colt pressed the pace from his rail post position, initially in second place, before edging to clear in the lane to win by two lengths. Final time for five furlongs on a fast dirt track was 1:00.16.
