Bowie's Hero romped by 5 3/4 lengths on debut at Lone Star for previous owner ELA Racing Stable and trainer Ronnie Cravens. Privately purchased by Agave Racing Stable and Hebert Bloodstock and transferred to Phil D'Amato, the 9-2 shot was reserved in mid-pack off speedy early splits of :22.51 and :46.95. Steadily advancing on the backstretch, the bay took control in the lane and held off a late run from Big Score to win. The winner's unraced dam Remembered, whose GISP half-sister Sister Girl Blues (Hold for Gold) produced GSW & MGISP Firing Line (Line of David), has a yearling colt by Afleet Alex and a weanling colt by Shakin It Up. She was bred back to Street Boss. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
