Southwind Gendry solidified his spot as one of the tops in his division Saturday (May 1) at The Meadows when he blazed a Pennsylvania Sires Stake (PASS) split in 1:49.4. Literl Lad Hanover captured the other division in the $153,856 event for three-year-old pacing colts and geldings, known as the Bye Bye Byrd, giving trainer Ron Burke a stake sweep.
Purchased as a yearling for a relatively modest $30,000, Southwind Gendry exceeded expectations by winning the PASS Championship, the Matron and divisions of the Bluegrass and International Stallion stakes in progress to banking $583,069 for owners Burke Racing Stable, Phillip Collura, Knox Services and J&T Silva-Purnel & Libby.
The Sweet Lou sophomore gelding Sweet Angel Boy, going uncovered from last through pouring rain at Harrah’s Philadelphia Wednesday afternoon (April 21), paced his own final half in :54.3 to be an impressive 1:54.3 winner in one of three $11,200 features at the riverside oval.
Driver Tim Tetrick got the youngster underway quickly up the backstretch and rolled to challenge pacesetting Letstrytowgleagain, the sophomore full brother to the immortal Wiggle It Jiggleit. And while the pacesetter held on well as his pedigree might suggest, Sweet Angel Boy was still able to leave him two-and-a-quarter lengths behind at the finish. Sweet Angel Boy, whose lone win at two was a 1:52.4 Keystone Classic victory, showed high potential here for trainer Jim King Jr. and owner Jo Ann Looney-King.
