Newsdad gets the scoop in Pan American
|
Newsdad earned his first stakes victory with a two-length decision in Saturday's Grade 2, $142,500 American Stakes, scoring as the 3-5 favorite in a scratch-depleted field of four. The four-year-old colt completed 1 1/2 miles in 2:24 4/5 over the Gulfstream Park firm turf. Julien Leparoux had the mount for trainer Bill Mott. Newsdad rated at the back of the compact field, within a few lengths of pacesetter Harrods Creek, who showed the through fractions of :25, :49, 1:13 1/5 and 1:37. Simmard advanced to the lead on the far turn, but Newsdad was beginning to find his best stride and surged to the front entering the stretch drive. The winner comfortably held sway in the final furlong.

Hailstone rallied to edge Simmard by a neck for second, and it was a 9
1/2-length margin back to Harrods Creek in fourth. Cause of Freedom and Center
Divider were withdrawn.
By Arch, Newsdad was bred in Kentucky by owner James S. Karp and is out of
the unraced Pulpit mare Storm Tracer. The nine-year-old mare is a half-sister to
stakes winner and Grade 3 runner-up Field Cat; and stakes victor Estevan.
Newsdad placed in the Grade 3 Palm Beach Stakes and the Victoria Park Stakes
and also finished fourth in the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes last season. The dark
bay opened 2012 with a 6 3/4-length romp over allowance/optional claiming rivals
and entered the Pan American off a nose second in the Grade 2 Mac Diarmida
Stakes. With Saturday's $90,000 payday, Newsdad has now earned $323,140 from a
15-4-2-3 line.
