Leinster Colt Fires a Bullet in Gulfstream Debut

Bronze Bullet became the fifth winner of 2025 for Leinster, Florida’s leading freshman sire and No. 8 in North America, capturing a $50,000 off-the-turf maiden special at Gulfstream Park.

Emisael Jaramillo hustled the 2-year-old colt out quickly and the $150,000 OBS April purchase settled into a stalking position while three wide down the backstretch. The colt bred by Charles Weston and Robert Vickers rallied on the turn while still wide and ran down the pacesetter at the wire, a neck in front. He was clocked in :55.85 for the five furlongs over the Tapeta surface, a little less than a second off the track record.

Bronze Bullet was well-bet for his debut and paid $5.60, while earning a check for $50,000. Leinster now has progeny earnings of $528,533.
