Blue Casanova Gives Neolithic 25th Winner of 2025

Blue Casanova broke his maiden at Gulfstream Park on Sunday in his sixth start, a $56,000 maiden special, giving Neolithic his 25th winner of 2025; last season he had 50 when the year ended. Neolithic’s runners have made 205 starts thus far this year and they have accounted for 93 in-the-money finishes, 37 of them victories.

Richard Bracho was in the irons aboard Blue Casanova, who started from the No. 6 post in the race at 1 1/8 miles over the Tapeta surface. The 3-year-old colt was off fourth about three lengths off the lead heading down the backstretch, and Bracho moved him up on the rail right behind the two leaders coming to the turn. He swung the colt off the inside at the top of the stretch, split two rivals and proved best by one length in the run to the wire, clocked in 1:51.89.

Blue Casanova paid $7.00 and earned a check of $33,000 for owner/breeder Rolling Meadows Farm.
