Neolithic gets first two-time winner of 2025

Cajun Vibes became the first runner by Neolithic to win twice in 2025 with a sharp ‘last-to-first’ performance in a six-furlong race at Penn National last night.

The 4-year-old gelding bred by Curtis Mikkelsen and Patricia Horth was off seventh under Angel Rodriguez, who decided to send Cajun Vibes after the leaders midway down the backstretch. They made it up to third with a wide sweep on the turn, and proved best in the lane, winning by 1 1/2 lengths in 1:12.21 and paying $4. The gelding has now won three of his last five tries and has an overall record of 3-2-1 in eight starts. The winner’s check of $7,200 boosted his earnings to $36,400.

Neolithic is in fourth place on the early Florida general sire list with progeny earnings of $303,468.
