Squire scores, Leinster has 2 winners

After becoming the nation’s first freshman sire of 2025 to get a winner, Leinster also became the first to get two winners when Joe Bravo piloted Squire to a narrow victory in a $79,000 maiden special at Gulfstream Park.

Making his debut, Squire was off in mid-pack and raced about eight lengths off the pace down the backstretch. Bravo let him roll nearing the turn and the colt bred by co-owner Amy E. and Ciaran Dunne responded with a strong wide run into the stretch and was up in the final strides to win by a head. He was clocked in :54.11 for the 4 1/2 furlongs and received an Equibase ‘E’ speed figure of 79. Amy Dunne and co-owner/trainer Patrick Biancone collected a check for $50,000 for the score.

Leinster has already racked up progeny earnings of $86,866.
