Amazing Colt Wins First Five Races!

The amazing young colt Pub Crawl continued his assault on the race course with a wire to wire win in The Preview Cup Stakes at Saratoga. The One Mile turf Stakes Race for two year olds was run under sunny skies and showed this colt’s superiority at this age.

Pub Crawl has now won his first five races including three stakes and a Grade One. He is closing in on half a million dollars in earnings and just seems to keep getting better. He threw his best speed figure (91) in this race and breezed home. As with his usual style, he jumped out to the early lead with Zanzibar on his shoulder and pulled away at the half and built up a 6 length lead. Jockey N Lawton, one of the best in the business, pulled him back at the top of the stretch and saved him for next time. The beautiful grey colt by El Prado out of Bonezig had previously raced only in his native Ireland but obviously liked the trip to New York. It remains to be seen what plans trainer Stormborn has for the big colt but you can be sure that he is looking toward Kentucky in May.

Cronus came from way back in eighth to finish second and may have given up too much ground to the leaders early. He looked very strong at the end and now has two seconds in a row. Pedro’s Rainbow was third and also closed but was still almost six back of Pub Crawl.

This five time winner will be fun to watch in future races and see how far he can carry this streak.
