Good-Looking score for Neolithic gelding in $75,000 Roar Stakes at Gulfstream

Most Handsome is less than $10,000 away from joining First Dude’s $200,000 club after his near-record performance for the duo of attorney David Romanik and trainer Ron Spatz in the $75,000 Roar Stakes at Gulfstream Park.

Emisael Jaramillo was in the saddle aboard Most Handsome, a 3-year-old gelding who had previously won the Hollywood Beach Stakes during a short career in which he has posted a record of 4-0-1 n in seven starts. Coming off a victory where he received his best Equibase ‘E’ speed figure of 91, the gelding bred by Julie Ann Jackson added an 89 after racing five furlongs on the turf in :54.65; missing the course record (:53.61) by just one second. He sizzled past the poles in :20.63 and :43.02 in his wire-to-wire effort.

The winner’s check of $44,550 boosted his two-season total to $190,910, with $90,330 coming this season.
