Neon Summer runs back to last, wins in 3-horse photo

When being interviewed by the media, trainers always stress that for their next start, all their horse has to do is “run back to their last race.” That’s exactly what Neon Summer did at Remington Park yesterday.

In her previous race at Horseshoe Indianapolis on Sept. 9, the 3-year-old filly by Neolithic missed winning her second race by a neck, with five furlongs on the grass in :58.32. Yesterday, at the same distance, the filly bred by Patricia Generazio engaged in a tough battle on the front end, and survived a three-horse photo in :58:58.

The $10,000 OBS June 2-year-old paid $4.40 and earned $20,196 in the $34,000 allowance test, boosting her total to $68,313 on a record of 2-3-1 in 10 starts, all as a 3-year-old.
