STAKES WINNER #3: LOCH DUBH CONTINUES FRIENDS LAKE’S STELLAR START AT STUD


$50,000 Turfway Prevue S.
6F   1:13 3/5


A winner of his last two starts entering his stakes debut, Friends Lake’s 3yo son Loch Dubh continued his winning ways with an authoritative win in the Turfway Prevue Stakes at Turfway Park Saturday.  Always within striking distance of the leaders, Loch Dubh circled wide entering the stretch and drew clear in impreessive fashion through the stretch.  The colt becomes the third stakes winner from Friends Lake’s first crop, a group that includes the GIII Bashford Manor Stakes winner Screen Your Friend and West Point Stables’s undefeated stakes winner Merus Miami.  At his best as a GI Derby winner at 3 and from the AP Indy sire line that generally is at its best with maturity and added distance, Friends Lake’s offspring have excited breeders through both their marketability and precociousness…and just wait till they get to run long!


Congratulations to owner Texas Toyco LLC, breeder The Answer LLC and trainer Jeff Talley on this exciting 3yo colt!
