Neophyte sends Neolithic over $6 million

Neolithic’s march to the $6 million mark in career progeny earnings was achieved over the weekend, led by Neophyte, a 6-year-old gelding bred by SCF Inc. who has won two of his last three starts.

Neophyte became his sire’s eighth winner of 2025, scoring a neck victory in a five-furlong race over the Tapeta surface at Gulfstream Park. With Edgard Zayas in the saddle, the gelding followed closely behind a hot pace of :21.40 and :43.78, and was up in time to win in :56.15. He paid $9.60 and picked up a check for $15,000, raising his career total to $154,327 on a record of 5-6-9 in 30 starts.

Neolithic’s progeny earnings now total $6,016,933.

At Camarero Race Track in Puerto Rico, The Mole Baby boosted her record to 2-1-1 in six starts with a 2 1/2-length score going six furlongs over a sloppy track. The 3-year-old Kentucky-bred Gunnevera filly paid $7.10, was clocked in 1:12.60 and boosted her earnings to $10,160. She was claimed out of the race.
