Another 2024 winner for Neolithic

Neolithic is off to a fast start in 2024, getting his third winner with an eye-opening performance at Turfway Park yesterday.

Neoking, with Andres Ulloa in the saddle, was sitting four or five lengths off the pace early and was actually retreating on the turn, appearing to have lost all chance in the race at six furlongs over the all-weather track. But Ulloa rallied the 4-year-old gelding with a strong move on the inside, he caught the leaders in mid-stretch and was nearly two lengths in front at the wire. The gelding owned and bred by long-time Pleasant Acres client Just For Fun Stable was clocked in 1:20.52 and paid $33.32. He collected a check for $11,954, raising his total to $28,498 on a record of 2-2-1 in nine starts.

Neoking received a 72 Equibase ‘E’ speed figure, best of his career.
