The first stride to the finish line begins in South Carolina
While only a few South Carolina training center graduates found themselves in the winner’s circle following Stakes races during the October 20 to November 20 period, Randy and Kala Rentz claimed both.
Bold Fortune won the New York Breeder’s Futurity at Finger Lakes and The Boy’s Warrior proved best in the Mark McDermott Stakes at Presque Isle Downs both races being on October 21. Bold Fortune broke sharply, immediately taking the lead and never looked back. He led by 3 lengths halfway through this six furlong race and extended his lead in the stretch crossing the finish line 7 ¾ lengths in front. In three career starts, this 2- year-old Central Banker gelding has 2 wins and a third with earnings of $151,270.
In the Mark McDermott Stakes, The Boy’s Warrior set the pace while racing on the inside. He maintained a ½ length lead for the first half-mile before sprinting clear in the stretch winning by 4 lengths. The Boy’s Warrior is undefeated in 3 career starts and already is a 2 time Stakes winner having won the Whistle Pig Stakes at PARX on September 21. He has accumulated $142,200 in earnings.
