Maxfield Colt Rock It Rob Wins Battle and War On Saratoga Debut

[Wandering Eyes]

CJ Stables' well-fancied ROCK IT ROB (c, 2, Maxfield–Miss Vigilance, by War Pass) got the better of an early pace duel with favored Cerro Rico (Yaupon), put that one away in upper stretch and kicked on nicely to become the fourth individual winner for his first-crop sire (by Street Sense) Friday afternoon at Saratoga. Bet into 19-10 from a 4-1 morning line, the $95,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-Bred yearling acquisition was hustled away from gate four by Jose Ortiz and flashed slightly more pace through an opening couple of furlongs in :22.15 as they put a space on the rest of their rivals. Asserting his superiority in upper stretch, the March foal pinched a winning break into the final eighth of a mile and reported home about three lengths to the good of longshot Sunday Boy (Central Banker). Sales history: $95,000 Ylg '24 FTNAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. O-CJ Stables; B-Joe Fafone (NY); T-Steve Asmussen.

 

#4 ROCK IT ROB ($5.80) and @jose93_ortiz put away foes and the 2yo son of Maxfield (@DarleyAmerica) wins on debut in Race 6 at Saratoga. Congratulations to the Steve Asmussen barn and owner CJ Stables.
