This may be a very very good one who broke his maiden first time out at four after being gelded. Originally a 1 million dollar purchase from Darley Stud, this one blew away a field, and almost the teletimer, yesterday in the slop at Hastings.

He is from Swift Thoroughbreds, an organization not afraid to invest in the game. Congratulations to them as this one has a good future...Little guy too.

I don't get excited by horses who break their maidens as 4 year olds. I can't think of a good horse who did that, but I could be wrong.

zenyatta basically broke her maiden as a 4YO, like 2 months before.

I'm pretty sure breaking your maiden first out in SoCal and doing at the outpost called Hastings are two different things.

As someone who follows Hastings, it was pretty impressive. The horse is a firster at 4 and works 6 1/2 furlongs from the gate in 118 1/5, then wins by 8 lengths in 116 flat. Hollywood ran a straight maiden on the same day and the winner won in 115.93. So for a 5 furlong bullringer to pull that off is impressive..and he did it on some surface they call dirt ;) .

I talked with Dino's assistant trainer and she tells me this one isn't even the BEST as they have another that hasn't even started yet and I am guessing that it is Lowthier something or other as Randy Goulding of the DRF thought that might be the name.

Another Darley stud cast off that last ran in the Hawthorne Derby.
