Neolithic passes another milestone

Neolithic has passed the $11 million mark in career progeny earnings!

His latest winner is Landman Friday, who carried Rajiv Maragh to a 1 3/4-length victory in a $65,000 allowance test at a mile and 70-yards over the Tapeta surface at Gulfstream Park. The 4-year-old colt bred by Grassroots Training & Sales was away alertly and took up a position in third place on the inside heading down the backstretch. Maragh never steered him off the inside and Landman Friday slipped through on the rail and won going away, clocked in 1:42.43.

For his second victory in a row and third in his last four starts, the $175,000 OBS April 2-year-old paid $3.40 and earned a check for $39,000, raising his career total to $137,050, with $92,000 coming this year. He now sports a record of 4-1-2 in 11 starts and has received his highest Equibase ‘E’ speed figures – 93 and 94 – in his last two scores.
