Even the Score sends out first winner

Multiple Grade 2 winner EVEN THE SCORE (Unbridled's Song) registered his

first winner as a freshman sire on Thursday when his juvenile filly Enjoy the

Score captured the 2ND race at Louisiana Downs. Sent off as the even-money

favorite in the maiden special weight affair, the gray argued the early pace

before kicking 2 1/4 lengths clear. The Jerry Hardin pupil reeled off five

fast-track furlongs in :59 1/5 beneath Donald Simington.

Even the Score was among the top older horses in California in 2004. A

resounding winner of the Californian S. (G2) and Mervyn LeRoy H. (G2), the

Vladimir Cerin charge also finished third in the Hollywood Gold Cup S. (G1) and

San Bernardino H. (G3). Earlier in his career, the gray landed the Mardi Gras H.

at Fair Grounds and placed in such notable turf events as the Explosive Bid H.

(G2), Firecracker H. (G2), Fair Grounds H. and Woodchopper H. Even the Score

compiled a record of 29-9-1-9 with earnings to the tune of $751,629.

Produced by the stakes-winning Rahy mare Ashtabula, Even the Score hails from

the family of multiple Grade 1 king and millionaire Formal Gold (Black Tie

Affair [Ire]).

The 10-year-old Even the Score stands at Millennium Farms near

Lexington, Kentucky, for $7,500, live foal.
