Neolithic’s last 2024 winner, and first of 2025, both come in Puerto Rico

Neolithic’s final winner of 2024, and his first of 2025, both came at Camarero Race Track in Puerto Rico.

SOUND OF WAR – The 3-year-old colt owned and bred by L&D Thoroughbreds beat the New Year by a few days, winning a six-furlong test by a length and a quarter in 1:14.27 under J. C. Diaz Jr. It was just his third start and he paid $7.00, while earning a check for $3,480. He gave Neolithic an even 50 winners for the year from 76 starters, for a 66 percentage.

DREAM V – The 5-year-old mare bred by Y-Lo Racing was a $30,000 OBS June 2-year-old and if she had raced anywhere but in Puerto Rico, her 40-7-8-10 record would have her listed as a great bargain. But, as the $3,480 check from her latest score shows, she’s been far from a financial success with total earnings of $46,416. Victory No. 7 was a $55.50 stunner, with Carlos Rodriguez getting her up for a neck victory over a 3/10 favorite. She was clocked in 1:06.26 for the 5 1/2 furlongs, and received an Equibase ‘E’ speed figure of 65, her best ever.
