Two more winners for Neolithic, he’s up to 30

Red-hot Neolithic continued on the road to what promises to be his best season when Sisterlithic and Neoprene each won, less than three hours apart, at tracks not too far apart.

SISTERLITHIC – The 3-year-old filly bred by Oakleaf Farm and Liz and Norman Wilson was ridden by Laureano Sosa in a race at five furlongs on the turf at Belterra Park. She battled on the front end through a quarter in :22.61, took over the lead after a half in :45.13, then drew off with ease, winning by 3 1/4 lengths in :56.93, and paying $3.60. She became winner number 30 for Neolithic, and the Wilsons collected a check for $5,700.

NEOPRENE – Addiel Ayala was aboard the 5-year-old mare bred at Southern Cross Farm by Belinda Kitos in a race at six furlongs over the all-weather surface at Presque Isle Downs. Ayala took her wire-to-wire, putting up fractions of :22.74, :46.26 and 58.79, and she reached the wire two lengths in front, clocked in 1:11.91, for her second victory in a row. She paid $3 and earned a check for $10,800, boosting her total to $67,539 on a record of 3-1-1 in 12 starts.
