Trappe Shot Juvenile Dominates at Keeneland

1st-KEE, $58,011, Msw, 4-12, 2yo, 4 1/2f, :52.41, ft.

+MCERIN (c, 2, Trappe Shot–Erin Rose, by Purge) continued his conditioner's dominance of the early 2-year-old races in Lexington with a dominant debut victory. Hammered down to 1/5 favoritism off a speedy work tab at Palm Meadows, the chestnut shot out of the stalls to take immediate command, zipping through an opening quarter in :22.35. Already well clear entering the far turn, the homebred cruised home a never-in-doubt 7 1/2-length winner. Longshot Go Chiva Go (Colonel John) completed the exacta. The winner, who is the second foal out of Erin Rose, is a half-brother to Waterford Stable's 3-year-old In Closing (In Summation), an impressive maiden winner at Gulfstream Mar. 3. Erin Rose is also responsible for a yearling filly by More Than Ready and produced a Summer Front colt earlier this term. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,00.
