Two more 3-year-old filly winners for Neolithic; he’s passed $2.8 million

After My Denysse broke her maiden with a sensational $72.80 upset in the $300,000 My Dear Girl Stakes at Gulfstream Park last Saturday, Neolithic added two more winners at Gulfstream to give him 46 for the year from 74 starters, an excellent 62 percent.

BEDROCK BIRDIE – The 3-year-old filly bred by Matalona Thoroughbreds in partnership with Joe and Helen Barbazon, a $20,000 OBS October yearling, had Sam Marin aboard in a race at 5 1/2 furlongs over the Tapeta surface. She stalked the leaders in the two path, moved on the turn and ran down even-money favorite Fulminate in the last jump, winning by a nose. She paid $5.60 after getting the distance in 1:04.28, and earned a check for $24,100, boosting her total to $115,010 on a record of 3-4-1 in 11 starts.

VANISHING WISH – This 3-year-old filly is a stablemate of My Denysse, both owned and bred by Just For Fun Stable and trained by Ruben Sierra. After a pair of seconds in her previous two starts, she was sent off at 8/5 with Reylu Guterriez aboard in a race at five furlongs on the Tapeta. Fourth down the backstretch, she swung five wide into the lane and went on to score by 1 1/4 lengths, clocked in :57.66. She added $15,000 to the Just For Fun week, after My Denysse struck for $180,000.

Neolithic is now comfortably sitting in second place on Florida’s 2024 general sire list with earnings of $2,801,896, double her total of 2023.
