Harlan’s Holiday Colt Delivers at Parx

3rd-PRX, $84,900, Msw, 9-20, 2yo, 5 1/2f, 1:06.02, ft.
+ANNUAL REPORT (c, 2, Harlan’s Holiday–Pension, by Seeking the Gold), a $600,000 FTFMAR purchase earlier this year, posted a series of works at Saratoga and Greentree Training Center dating back to late May. Sent to Bensalem to make his career debut in this lucrative event, the 3-2 favorite was sent to the front and sparred along the rail through a quarter-mile in :23.07. Shaking clear on the turn under moderate handling from veteran pilot Joe Bravo, the bay widened readily and reported home 5 1/4 lengths clear of Believe in Luck (Afleet Alex). The winner, whose second dam is GISW Furlough (Easy Goer), is a half to Flores Island (Giant’s Causeway), MSP, $244,070. His dam produced a colt by Giant’s Causeway last year, a colt by Ghostzapper this year, and was bred back to Hard Spun. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $50,400.
