Violence Colt Repentless A Debut Winner At Kentucky Downs

1st-Kentucky Downs, $179,600, Msw, 9-4, 2yo, 7fT, 1:21.43, fm, 3 lengths.

REPENTLESS (c, 2, Violence–Song Sung True, by Unbridled's Song) went off as the one of the longest shots on the board at 25-1 Thursday in his debut effort for Kelsey Danner. Positioned mid pack while able to angle down to the rail, he tracked fourth behind race favorite Jet Off (Twirling Candy) who did just that through fractions of :22.08 and :44.88. Hugging the fence around the turn, he caught a dream opening at the top of the long stretch and burst through to the line, staying clear by three lengths over fellow firster and 36-1 shot Clark's Corner (Omaha Beach) to top a huge exacta. Machmer Hall purchased first dam Song Sung True for $62,000 at KEENOV with the winner in utero in 2022. She's produced three other winners from as many to race and has a yearling Practical Joke colt and a weanling Dr. Schivel colt still to represent her. She went to Gunite for the coming season. Sales History: $275,000 Ylg '24 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $102,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
