Sire Spun To Run Collects His First Winner As Night Beacon Scores At Santa Anita

[Wandering Eyes]

Blazing a trail from the bell, it was Night Beacon (Spun to Run–Stormandaprayer, by Songandaprayer) who went gate to wire and handed his first-crop sire his inaugural winner at the 'Great RIP' on Friday afternoon.

Off as the 4-5 choice, the bay filly was swift early and established an ever-widening lead before the far turn. With the field in pursuit, the 2-year-old geared down in the final furlong and won by three lengths over So There She Was (Munnings). The final running time was :52.30.

Gainesway's sire (by Hard Spun), who won the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Santa Anita, has 89 foals of racing age to his credit.

Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. Sales History: $45,000 '23 KEEJAN.
