Midnight Bisou, at 1-5, surged to win the Grade 3, $300,000 Houston Ladies Classic at Sam Houston. The start was her first since finishing third in the Breeders' Cup Distaff. She covered the mile and a sixteenth on a fast track in 1:44.52. 

Midnight Bisou could see the field in the early stages, as Heavenhasmynikki set fractions of 24.68 seconds for the opening quarter, 49.29 for the half-mile and 1:13.38 for six furlongs. Midnight Bisou advanced down the backside, traveled three wide on the final turn, and pushed past the leaders in the later stages to win under Mike Smith.
