Neolithic belts another double

Another pair of winners for Neolithic have given the son of Harlan’s Holiday 17 for the year.

LOANA – The Pennsylvania-bred filly, a $65,000 Timonium 2-year-old, broke her maiden at Louisiana Downs yesterday in a $24,600 maiden special at six furlongs. With David Cabrera aboard, the 3-year-old filly bred by Mary K. Haire survived a long stretch battle with 7/2 second choice Halfpriced, winning by a nose in 1:12.46. After seconds in her previous two starts, she paid $3.20 as favorite and added $14,400 to her bank account, which has reached $41,384.

EL PROFE – The 4-year-old colt is a solid 3-for-6 after winning a six-furlong test at Camarero in a 14-horse field. The colt bred by Angel Hernandez and Jose Perez was head-and-head for the lead early, opened up by 3 1/2 lengths heading into the stretch and held on late to score by a neck in 1:13.63. He paid $4.50.
