Neolithic Adds Pair of Winners, Now Has 11

Neolithic added a pair of winners on Sunday, one at Laurel Race Course and one at Tampa Bay Downs, giving him 11 for the new year, third best thus far for 2025 among Florida’s stallions.

NEOLITHICA – The 4-year-old filly bred in Maryland by Maria M. Haire went wire-to-wire under Victor Carrasco in a $27,120 starter optional claimer at six furlongs. She passed the furlong markers in :22.96 and :47.45 en route to a 4 1/2-length score in 1:13.04 and collected a check for $16,560, increasing her career total to $103,840. A $30,000 Timonium October yearling, Neolithica paid a healthy $45.80, while raising her record to 5-1-1 in 14 starts.

NOTABLE EXCHANGE – In her seven-furlong career debut in Oldsmar, the 3-year-old filly bred by Joe and Helen Barbazon trailed near the rear of the pack down the backstretch, made a strong surge approaching the turn, then won a three-horse battle down the lane by a neck. Her final clocking was 1:24.76 and her first score was worth $9.20 at the windows and $13,300 in the bank.

Neolithic has already run up $297,931 in progeny earnings in 1 1/2 months and is fourth on Florida’s general sire list.
