Nothing prevented Neolithic colt’s climb to $300,000

Prevent became Neolithic’s fifth $300,000-plus earner after his wire-to-wire victory in the $75,000 Soldier’s Dancer Handicap at Gulfstream Park.

Edgard Zayas was aboard the 4-year-old colt who completed the mile and 70-yard trip over the Tapeta surface in 1:39.31, less than two seconds off the track record, while receiving an excellent 102 Equibase ‘E’ speed figure, a career best. The colt bred by Katia Perez Ozuna was a $15,000 OBS Winter purchase by Arindel Farm’s Brian Cohen.

Prevent paid $14.40 and earned a check for $43,650, increasing his lifetime total to $300,947 on a record of 5-5-1 in 21 starts.
