Two more Neolithic winners – he’s passed $1.3 million

Neolithic picked up two more winners, Poiema at Gulfstream Park and Mr Ramirez at Evangeline Downs, and he now has 29 from 60 starters this year, a 48.3 percentage.

POIEMA – The 6-year-old mare bred by Cheryl and James Maguire has turned out to be a major bargain. She was a $14,000 OBS June 2-year-old, and the winner’s share of her first victory of 2025 – $23,600 – boosted her career total to $300,913, third highest of all Neolithic runners.

Eddie Perez was in the irons for the $40,000 starter allowance at six furlongs, and he put Poiema on the lead early. She held her rivals at bay via fractions of :22.61, :45.18, and :57.53 before crossing the finish line 1 1/4 lengths in front in 1:10.67, and paying $5.20. She’s now 6-7-4 in 32 starts.

MR RAMIREZ – The 4-year-old colt is another bred by the ultra-successful partnership of Joe and Helen Barbazon, Ed Seltzer and Beverly Anderson. Jose Rodriguez had him close to the early pace down the backstretch before making a strong late run to win by two lengths. Coming off second and third-place finishes, he went off at 7/5 and paid $4.80, clocked in 1:25.44 for the seven furlongs, while earning a check for $6,600. His 75 Equibase ‘E’ speed figure is best of his 11-race career.

The two victories pushed Neolithic over $1.3 million in 2025 progeny earnings.
