Lennilu Gets Freshman Leinster Off the Mark at Keeneland

1st-Keeneland, $72,968, Msw, 4-6, 2yo, f, 4 1/2f, :52.32, sy,  1 length.
LENNILU (f, 2, Leinster–Lulu's Pom Pom, by Pomeroy) got her freshman sire off to a rapid start with a debut victory at Keeneland Sunday. Sent off at 5-2, the gray filly was hustled out of the gate before sitting a stalking trip under energetic handling from Luis Saez as Kadabra (Good Magic) set the pace. Lennilu tipped out a path at the top of the lane, closed determinedly to overtake Kadabra late and pulled away to score by one length.
Leinster (Majestic Warrior) was a four-time graded stakes winner and finished third in the 2020 GI Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint for the partnership of Amy Dunne, Brenda Miley, Westrock Stables and Jean Wilkinson.
Lennilu was a $23,000 OBSWIN purchase last year. Lulu's Pom Pom, a half-sister to multiple graded winner Disco Partner (Disco Rico), was bred to Magic on Tap last year. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $34,115.
