Neolithic’s 48th winner comes in Puerto Rico

Malicious Lady went through several jockeys without enjoying any success in her first five races at Camarero Race Track in Puerto Rico. Then, Andy Hernandez Sanchez hopped aboard and it all changed.

In a maiden race at one mile over a muddy track, Sanchez put the 2-year-old Neolithic filly on the lead leaving the gate, and she turned it into no contest, opening up by daylight and going on to score by an eye-catching 10 1/4 lengths. The filly bred by Terri Latner and Jeff Lovelady, a $20,000 OBS June 2-year-old, earned a check for $4,792, and became Neolithic’s 48th winner of 2024 from 74 starters, for an excellent 65 percent.
