Lone Star Park near Dallas puts the spotlight on the Texas breeding program on Saturday, as the Texas Thoroughbred Association gathers at the track for its annual meeting and awards banquet. The nine-race card led by the $50,000 Lane's End Danny Shifflett Scholarship Stakes for Texas-bred fillies and mares gets underway at 2:35 p.m. Central. The main track is anticipated as fast and the turf, firm.

*Lullaby Bling (7), who was the co-leading seller at the Texas Thoroughbred Association yearling auction last year at Lone Star at $100,000, makes his debut in the sixth race. He is a Texas-bred full brother to Bling on the Music, a multiple stakes winner at 2. 

*Direct Dial (5), who completed a sweep of the Texas Stallion Stakes series with his win in last month's final division at Lone Star, tests turf in the fifth race, an allowance for Texas-breds. His rivals include fellow stakes-winning 3-year-old Galactica (7).
