Frank Calabrese's homebred Lewis Michael got a perfect set-up along the inside to post a runaway upset in the $297,500 Pat O'Brien Handicap at Del Mar on Sunday. 2007 Breeders' Cup Sprint champion Midnight Lute failed to fire in his 2008 debut finishing 10th. Lewis Michael was winless in his previous three starts since earning his first graded stakes victory in the 2007 Washington Park Handicap on Arlington Park’s synthetic Polytrack surface. Lewis Michael entered off a fourth-place finish on turf in the Sea O Erin Handicap in his five-year-old debut on July 26 at the suburban Chicago track.
